I did get some reusable gloves, so they won't go straight into land fill but I do see the irony of consuming more to buying more to clean up. <br /><br />Encouraging children to touch other peoples rubbish doesn't seem like a good idea so if we make a habit of it I might have to get some tongs.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168423954416466539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5960294662733132848.post-82321907740299505322011-07-04T07:36:08.091+10:002011-07-04T07:36:08.091+10:00It is weird how kids find it fun to pick up strang...It is weird how kids find it fun to pick up stranger's rubbish, but not their own mess. A couple of weeks ago Ben's 'best thing' for the day (it's a nightly ritual for us each to tell each other before we pray - so we can thank God for it) was picking up rubbish during lunchtime play time at school! It was totally voluntary on his part - although I think some of the attraction was that the teacher gave them a pair of kitchen tongs to pick up the rubbish with kitchen tongs (his school is a leader in environmentally friendly stuff, so they wouldn't like gloves as they need to be thrown in landfill).Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110383384248359066noreply@blogger.com
