CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- As a further step to enhance the participation rate and knowledge popularization rate of domestic waste classification and to promote the household waste classification, recently, Huayan Town in Jiulongpo District joined hands with Chongqing Environment & Sanitation Group to carry out a DIY activity on the theme of “Learning Garbage Classification for Environmental Protection” at Min’an Huafu Community Square under the jurisdiction of the district, attracting more than 30 children and families from the surrounding area to participate. The activity combined interactive quizzes and hands-on practice to implant the concept of waste classification in children’s minds through interactive mini-games of “One Question, One Answer, One Action, and One Prize”.

Easy waste classification through one question and one answer

“What kind of garbage is a discarded cosmetic case? 1, 2, 3, go!” At the event, waste sorting instructors from the community divided the children into nine groups of three children from each community, who accumulated points through two activities: Q&A and garbage type card delivery. Points were allocated as first, second and third prizes, with each group member receiving a different prize. In the Q&A session, children actively and enthusiastically checked the waste classification guide and waste classification manuals in their hands to learn and answer the teacher’s questions; in the garbage type card delivery session, teachers from Chongqing Environment & Sanitation Group personally guided each child to know the types of garbage in their daily lives and led them to throw the garbage type cards into specific colored bins to practice garbage sorting correctly.

Memorizing “blue, red, green and black” through One Action and One Award

At the end of the event, instructors took out a “grand prize” and each child made a picture of what they had learned about garbage sorting with their own hands through DIY on the spot, which would then participate in the selection of the grand prize of the day. During the DIY activity, children gave full play to their imagination and made their own pictures of common types of garbage in daily life, correctly matching the four primary colors of blue, red, green and black, to make beautiful patterns of caring for the environment and sorting garbage, which was praised by the parents.
