We had to give a shout out to the Prep kids at St. Luke’s in Australia after we received this lovely email:
“Hi guys!
We have been doing a lot about recycling and reusing to reduce landfill. We are Prep children (5-6 year olds) from Australia. You might like to check out our blog. We are working hard to spread the word!
Thank you.

The kids wrote the script and put a video together themselves – it certainly taught us a thing or two:
Reuse and Reduce from Learning Together on Vimeo.
They ask a very important question: What will you do today to stop using so much paper? and we’re sure they’d appreciate hearing what action you and your students take to encourage environmental responsibility at your school.
Take your tips from their video and make sure to check out this month’s Earth Awareness Spotlight to learn what you can do to help our environment.

Your action is very important and making your video is a great way to share with others how we can all help the environment. It is amazing how far your message has travelled. You should be very proud of all the great work you have done!

Fantastic work Prep S and Prep K.
We are so proud of your wonderful action to help the environment by reusing paper before we recycle it. Our message is now being seen around the world and is proof that we can make a difference – every day.
Keep up the great work

I really love what is being taught about recycling and that the wonderful children in this video clip are proving that anyone can use technology to teach others… My hat is off to your teachers for teaching our next generation wisdom
Job well done!!
