[child] has asked us to start buying refillable hand soap instead of new, small plastic bottles of Carex or Dove that we usually buy. It’s a very good idea and we will be implementing it.

[child] suggested that we replace our plastic toothbrushes with bamboo ones which we did and now we’re all using bamboo toothbrushes as a backup for the electric ones.

We’re very proud of [child] being plastic aware and we will support her in making changes in our environment.

[child] has suggested using refills on hand wash as I didn’t know they made these. So we have started to buy these too. She has been watching videos on YouTube to extend her knowledge.

[child] came home and showed us that there are 7 different types of plastic and that only 2 can easily be recycled. We have started to pay more attention when throwing rubbish in the bin. We are separating the plastic from the others and depositing it in the right place. At home we recycle paper, food waste, plastic and glass.

[child] often pays attention to plastic packaging. She explains to me which plastic is recyclable. I am proud that she remembers all this knowledge.

We have been told there are 7 types of plastics and if we don’t recycle properly [child] tells me I will be reported to his teacher!

[child] has been telling me about the different types of plastics, like the ones that can be recycled such as milk bottles and shampoo bottles. As well as the ones that cannot be recycled like broken toys. She is very careful when throwing plastics at home and making sure that we recycle or re-use some items like the hand wash bottle instead of throwing it.

We have always recycled as a family but with [child] learning so much at school, she has made us even more aware of recycling especially by asking me almost every day if something can be recycled and what it is made from. We are going to get some bamboo toothbrushes too!

[child] is my human shopping bag reminder. As soon as we leave the car to go into the shops, she reminds me to get the bags from my boot so we do not need to buy anymore

[child] has been more active in wanting to recycle and taking her recyclable rubbish to the bin but also wanting to make more things out of plastic bottles to give it a new life. I am proud that she is understanding the importance of helping the planet but getting creative with it too!

[child] has told us how important it is to recycle and that we should be picking up any litter in the street. She has told us there is 7 different types of plastic but only 2 are easy to recycle. She said that the plastic in the oceans is really bad for sea life. We are really happy that [child] is learning about being plastic clever and we can see that she is really engaged with this.
