A happy Earth Day with kids

April 19^th, 2013,members of the Roots & Shoots Think Tank arrived at World Children’s Foundation Kindergarten (Changning Campus) and gave a lesson on the Earth Day.

First, Jiawei Xu introduced Shanghai Roots & Shoots. Then the kids played a game to learn to identify different kinds of vegetables from looking at pictures.

Then a Roots & Shoots volunteer introduced the Earth Day to the children, triggering in them passion for the environment. The kids actively participated in the discussion about what measures could be taken to protect the Earth. Many of them suggested that we use fewer plastic bags and do more recycling. The children then started painting on their own eco bags.

Covered in paint, kids learned about the importance of environmental protection. They were encouraged to use hand-painted reusable bags instead of using plastic ones.
