Nikki’s Description of Product: Learn all about recycling at the Recycling-Guide website. Here you’ll find everything from how-to guides to recycling etiquette. You’ll also learn about the important reasons why we should recycle, which includes numerous facts and figures. They even have a page that helps you learn where to recycle. As if all this weren’t enough, they also include valuable educational activities for teaching your kids all about recycling, with lots of fun recycling crafts and projects that are easy to do. Parents can stay up to date on all the latest recycling news on their Blog as well.

Homeschool Uses: What better way is there to improve the environment than to teach our youngsters that recycling is not only important but fun. In the Recycling-Guide’s Educational Activities section (on the schools page), parents will find a number of recycling ideas and hands-on projects. They even provide teaching tips–like using role play to express opinions. There are pages that help kids become familiar with recycling symbols, arts and crafts that make learning more interesting, and puzzles. This is a great topic to weave into your science curriculum. In fact, the Recycling-Guide also contains a Science page, which is designated to teaching kids about various types of recycling materials.

Content and Safety: I didn’t find anything on this site that would threaten safety. There is nothing to sign up for and no personal information is given out. The content focuses on recycling topics and is targeted towards educators, parents and their children.

Nikki’s Experience Using the Product: I took a look around and was surprised at all the information packed into one site. Although this is a UK-based site, the information can be used and put into practice anywhere. One look at the recycling facts should be more than enough to provoke interest in utilizing their recycling tips at home. For instance, did you know that just one recycled can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours? Amazing!

I found the site to be easy to maneuver around and all the topics are easily located at the top on individual tabs, which consist of additional pages. The activities were simple, and I even printed off the recycling poster, which requires Adobe Reader.

Tutorial or Promotional Video of the Product: I did not find any tutorials or videos regarding the use of the site; however, you don’t really need one. Everything you need is right there within easy viewing.

Summary: Recycling is definitely important to the future of our precious environment–but also to our children, as they are our future. Teaching them the importance of recycling, through the use of fun projects and interesting facts, can hopefully lead the way for greener habits and lifestyles as they grow. Not only can your children benefit from the Recycling-Guide, but we parents could certainly learn a thing or two as well.
