Clean up, fix up, and conserve our environment.

Origin

Back in 2008, World Cleanup Day began when 50,000 people from Estonia in Europe gathered to clean up the whole country in only 5 hours. The “one country, one day” formula was derived on this day, as people felt encouraged to do something for their respective countries.

This small deed done by thousands of people created hype and was adopted by the whole world and is now observed each year from 17th- 21st September as World Clean up Day. In 2021, 191 countries joined this campaign to get rid of waste such as street trash, underwater waste, and digital trash, which was collected, counted, composted, and recycled. People share the same goals without discrimination, racism, and gender inequality.

3 Exciting Ways Your Child Can Learn To Help Environment.

1. Do it yourself (DIY) and Recycling: 

Nowadays, DIY is a trend. Adolescents can easily find productive ways to utilize abandoned items and turn them into something useful that would clean up the mess and add utility to the home. 

For example, take an empty tin jar and make it a hot wheel car box so that after playing, kids can keep the cars in the box, keeping the home clean and tidy.

2. Plantation:

Letting your child plant his favorite fruit trees will be an exciting experience. The growth of trees would be a source of happiness and reduce pollution as well. Plants clean the air as they take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. Children usually compare their height with the plants they planted, which would encourage them to eat healthily

3. Cleaning games and Reward system: 

Mommy, every weekend, you can have a cleaning game session with your kids; it can be cleaning the backyard, kitchen, or store for fun and engagement. 

You can create a reward chart and tell your child to keep things in place and to turn off the lights and gadgets to get an ultimate Surprise!
