Do more than recycle aluminum can; make a compost pile for
biodegradables. It's a fun way to teach kids about the things we throw away and what impact we have on the environment.
First, gather small bits of food, plastic, paper, cloth, wood and metal. Bury each outside in a marked area. Over the next few weeks, some of the items will decompose and other will not, showing kids what biodegraded means.
