Recycling the Rainforest

	Vast areas of rainforests are flooded behind dams built to provide power for aluminum mining and smelting. The single largest use of aluminum is for single-beverage containers. In the U.S. we discard enough aluminum each year to rebuild the entire fleet of commercial airplanes four times over.

For Audiences Ages 3 – 9

In this exciting and fun presentation, Tim Keating shows kids how their use of certain materials and products affects rainforests and what they can do to help.

With images of the beauty of rainforests and their wildlife, Tim, an environmental scientist and director of Rainforest Relief for 10 years, shows kids why rainforests are so fascinating and so important.

With images of products and materials that kids use and see everyday, such as aluminum, steel, tin, paper, plastic and oil, Tim shows the audience the connection between their everyday lives and these critical ecosystems thousands of miles away.

Most importantly, Tim connects kids to the solutions to sparing the Earth’s most diverse natural areas, with the actual products in hand.

An uplifting and empowering presentation, Recycling the Rainforest will connect kids with their reduction, reuse and recycling of these products to the sparing of rainforests like never before.
