Global Recycling Day - 18th March

March 1, 2022

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.

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, is helping children and young people understand the power of their personal data as they learn, play and socialise online. They have launched a suite of lesson plans and worksheets, aimed at teaching primary and secondary school pupils how to protect their privacy online and how they can control what online companies and platforms know about them.
