Starting Sustainability Early!
The Margate Green Team partnered with the ACUA (Atlantic County Utilities Authority) to bring an interactive recycling lesson to the 3- and 4-year-olds at the JCC Early Childhood Education Preschool.
Green Team Chair Steve Jasiecki, along with Enviro-Superhero “Sustainable Sherri” Lilienfeld, and ACUA Specialist Alexis Demitroff.
Teaching kids how recycling keeps waste out of landfills.
Special shoutout to the JCC’s Brian Adler for helping coordinate this awesome event.
Teaching kids to care for our planet today builds the lifelong habits we need for a greener tomorrow.
The event taught students how recycling can benefit the planet.
Teaching environmental responsibility at this early age is key to preserving our natural resources for future generations.
During the presentation, kids learned how recycling reduces landfill waste and discovered which everyday items belong in the recycling bin.
Sherri, glad that you are teaching the children to respect their planet. Love your costume, a great way to grab the children’s attention—so much fun and learning for everyone.
Veronica, I let the kids know that each one of them can be an “Environmental Superhero” through their actions and their words (speaking up when they see something wrong or bad for the environment). They have more influence on others than I can ever have. They were very engaged in the program and I expect they went home and told their friends and family.
