2.Most agree that we should be training children to recycle wastes to preserve the Earth’s natural resources. However, some believe that parents should teach their children to recycle waste while others feel schools are more responsible. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

A

child

is the most innocent, white-washed being, and as often stated, it takes a village to raise one. When it comes to recycling, many claim that parents should teach their children to recycle waste

while

others feel schools are more responsible. Personally, I believe that there is an equal amount of responsibility borne by both, and

this

essay is to portray what I think. To commence, the

child

starts at

home

, first words first smiles, all begin at

home

, with family. Habits, either learnt or taught, always begin at

home

,

hence

, it is very important for the family to promote recycling. The age-old saying monkey see monkey do, hold true here. The family holds the first responsibility to recycle.

For instance

, if the

child

sees a parental figure use reusable bottles, he/she is more likely to do so himself/herself.

Conversely

, being around cheap plastic at

home

will lead to the plastic being used by the younger ones as well. The school is the second biggest cause of any behaviour portrayed by the

child

, leading to the institution being secondary in holding any responsibilities regarding the upbringing of children. Despite being secondary, the time a younger being spends there isn't less, which is why it is very crucial that the friends a

child

makes, the teachers that the juvenile is around, are ones with good habits, so the

child

is raised properly. In conclusion, parents, and any educational institutions, both, hold extremely important places in the upbringing of a

child

, and

according to

me, recycling should be taught by both to a

child

, equally.
