18th March is Global Recycling Day. This year it is focussed on the recycling fraternity, celebrating those who put themselves on the frontline to collect waste and recycling during the multiple lockdowns. There is also a stress on the importance of education about recycling and pollution.

At 2Simple, we haven't collected waste, but we have collected a range of activities and put them on the same page in Purple Mash, so that you can easily access and use them in class, encouraging everyone to recycle.
