ask the children to bring in empty packaging from home as a small homework task. sort through th items brought in with the children talking about what can be recycled and why we should recycle. More importantly what recycling means. \nAllow the children to make collages using the varoius types of materials which can be recycled. \nyou could make this into a display. You could also do junk modelling with the packaging.

Not sure what kind of "freebie" you're looking for but check out www.freecycle.com.  This is basically an open forum (that you register for free for) where people post items they want to get rid of (or find somewhere) and you can get in touch with these people through the site.  You can find some really random stuff.

Your recycling program. It turns out that at my high school we have recycle bins, but we don't even have a recycling contract with disposal company, so everything gets trashed anyway.

The real question is:  How can manufacturers recycle their waste?  Most food manufacturers are allowed to re-use up to 10% of their waste.  What they cannot re-use must go elsewhere, like to a dog food manufacturing plant.  \n\nSome fast-food restaurants, like KFC, donate excess made food to homeless shelters.  \n\nHallmark Cards recycles a bunch of their wastes by donating to non-profit organizations (churches, thrift stores, etc.) & they run a craft place called Kaleidoscope at Crown Center in KC, MO.  The kids come & make crafts there for FREE!  I've taken my girls there several times.

I have a couple of ideas for you\n1 You could make coupons out of them, IE coupon good for a free babysitting, etc.\n2 you could go to a craft store and buy designer box ( some shaped like hearts, stars, etc, ) and decoupage them to the box, makes a great secret box for letters, cards, treasures from friends. etc.

I agree with the people above. You should set the right example for your and other kids. And recycle. Find a nice kebab recipe, take your family to the park for a lovely sunday BBQ, and turn the remains into a decorative shade lamp.\nEnjoy!\nRegards from Holland.

You could get some boxes from the supermarket and decorate them yourself with paints/glitter or cut out pictures from magazines and stick them onto the boxes (that way you can customise each box to each person eg pictures of footballs/footballers for someone who likes football etc). People will appreciate the effort you have put into wrapping their presents! You could also use old cards for the gift tags.  Failing that Oxfam sell eco friendly wrapping paper. - Happy holidays!!
