Why Recycle Kids Books
Asking your kids to give up their old story books, especially
the ones they have outgrown, might be a difficult task. But if you
teach them about what actually happens to their books and have them
participate in helping you, it becomes very easy. kids
books doesn't necessarily mean they are just thrown in the
trash. Recycling books is easy and helps keep good books, even
slightly tattered books in circulation.
First you will want to educate your child on the importance of
recycling. Also, let them know that there are a lot of children out
there who don't have books of their own. Help your child to
understand that they are sharing their favorite stories with kids
who would enjoy them just as much. Allow your child to help you
find a local charity or church group that is excepting new and used
articles.
Secondly, another cool way for kids to recycle
their favorite books for
sale is to take them to second hand stores that will
either purchase them or trade them for books that are more age
appropriate. Trading old books for new ones can be a fun outing. If
your child is an avid reader, monthly visits to a second hand store
can be a reward.
Thirdly, tossing old books in the trash to clutter up
landfills can be detrimental to a community. If a book is truly
damaged and can't be giving to charity, sold at a garage sale or
traded at a second hand book store, then teach
your child to recycle the pages and the cardboard cover
responsibly. Another option would be to create craft projects from
torn pages of a book. Old pages can be used to make paper miche'.
Cardboard book covers can be covered with fabric to make home made
journals. Tattered pages can be placed in fireplaces to help get
logs burning.
Recycling your children books can be a
fun family event. Allowing your child to read the story one last
time can take families down memory lane to when your child first
learned to read. Time spent like that is precious and wouldn't it
be nice if another family who is less fortunate, could have the
same experience? I think so. Encouraging your family to recycle old
or outgrown items is helpful to the community. Remember, waste not,
want not. And the old cliche' another mans trash is another mans
treasure.
