Products made of plastic are one of the major causes of pollution on our planet.

Their impact on the Ecology is devastating.

A teacher in Israel decided to teach her young students how to recycle plastic products and protect the environment.

[Mazal Bismut, Science Teacher, "Merhavim" School]:
“For sixteen years now I have noticed the quantities of waste in our life paper, glass, plastic. I then began focusing on the issue of plastic. I have studied the subject, taking all kinds of courses. Now I use my imagination to make things out of waste.”

[Ofir, 10-Year-Old Student, "Merhavim" School]:
“In science class we make birthday crowns from plastic flowers. We make balls, flowers and rugs from bags made of nylon.”

The students learn through experiencing how to recycle plastic bags. The products that result are flowers, pompoms, and seat rugs.

The childrens parents are learning as well.

[Mazal Bismut, Science Teacher, "Merhavim" School]:
“Having learned how to make flowers, the students went out and collected plastic bags themselves. Store owners and fruit and vegetable vendors throw their waste into waste bins; the children picked it up, made plastic flowers from the bags and gave them to their parents.”

The parents liked it and started collecting plastic waste themselves.

This is the way recycling began to spread around and to keep spreading in the greater public.

[Yaeli, 12-Year-Old Student, "Merhavim" School]:
“We collect bottles in order to prevent throwing plastic into the garbage. We take plastic bags and recycle them into many materials that can be used as a decoration or a game.”

The students also teach other students about the importance of preserving the environment.

[Noa, 10-Year-Old Student, "Merhavim" School]:
“Plastic takes a long time to disintegrate, and it greatly pollutes the air and the soil, and then people and animals get hurt.”

Indeed, with the help of learning and actively preserving the quality of the environment, ecological awareness is increased.

The importance of what’s being done at school right now will be attested to in the future.

[Mazal Bismut, Science Teacher, "Merhavim" School]:
“This is the only class where I teach how to make all four products. In a week, each pair of students will start going through the school, which contains 700 students, and teach other classes how to make those products.”

In the future, when our children see a plastic bag someone has thrown and left on the street, they will surely know what they should do.
