In the kindergarten, every day will produce a lot of second-hand paper, old stationery, old electronic products, and household waste.

How to dispose of the waste? For yourself, the amount is tiny, but if you put all the waste in a school together, it would take a lot of time just to collect, sort, store and dispose of it.

In fact, based on people's general working and living conditions, recycling bins are almost all over the streets and lanes of the whole city, and have become one of the most familiar supporting facilities. However, in the case of schools, there is a lack of unified establishment and management of recycling bins.

Since the EU-Humana Yunnan Low Carbon School Pilot Project was launched in the school, the low carbon environmental awareness of teachers and students has been enhanced and strengthened. Dormitories, classes and student associations will spontaneously organize waste items recycling activities, which is the embodiment of everyone's low-carbon awareness into action.

In order to better advocate low-carbon life and create a green campus, the kindergarten certainly can't be missed.

Recently, the project has brought recycling bins to kindergartens participating in project activities in the Kunming area, which are placed at the gate for unified management. The purpose is to place the bin in a prominent position, let the parents see the recycling bin, realize the unity of individuals, schools and families, and jointly participate in recycling, and then promote the community to participate in low carbon environmental protection.

Since the recycling bins were installed, kindergarten children have taken the initiative to put waste paper, milk cartons, cans and other waste items produced in daily life and study into the recycling bins on a class basis. Children can also work with parents to bring old items that need to be disposed of at home to the kindergarten recycling bin.

The age of 3-6 years is the key period for children to develop behavior habits. Bringing recycling bins into the kindergarden, can cultivate children’s awareness of low carbon environmental protection through participation in real life activities by recycling of discarded materials, and encourage children to consciously fulfill the responsibility and obligation of protecting the environment.

The “Outline for ecological and environmental protection” states ‘Guide children to use the objects and waste materials around them to make toys, handicrafts, etc., to beautify their lives or carry out other activities.’ Practice has proved that the recycling bins provide sufficient materials for the activity of turning waste into treasure. Through teacher guidance parents are mobilized to maximize the use of waste goods.

Recycling bins are the carrier of early childhood education, which can add interest to teaching activities and practice ecological civilization education. Advocate low-carbon life, create a green campus, kindergarten in action!

 

Project introduction:

The Yunnan Low-carbon Schools Pilot Project is funded by the European Union and implemented by the People to People Foundation (Spanish member of HPP) in cooperation with FAIHPP (Switzerland) Yunnan Representative Office, Yunnan Academy for Science and Technical Information, Southwest Forestry University, Green Kunming (Kunming Environmental Popular Science Association) and  Kunming Good Deed Public Welfare Community Development Service Center with a project cycle from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023. The project begins by increasing partners’ awareness and advocacy on climate change mitigation and environmental protection, and then raises climate change awareness among 600 schools, 70,000 students and teachers, determines the emission baseline through emission source calculations, and then implements emission reduction work in 50 Carbon Compliant Pioneer Schools. The project uses science, technology, innovation and other means to respond to “climate action” to accelerate environmental sustainability and promote the transition from green campuses to low-carbon and carbon-neutral campuses.
