Abstract
This study explores the awareness and practices of reuse and recycling among underprivileged children in Bangladesh, aiming to enhance environmental sustainability through educational strategies. Interviews with children, parents, teachers, NGO workers, community leaders, and government officials reveal significant gaps in understanding and practicing waste management. While children show creativity in repurposing materials, challenges such as limited adult awareness and insufficient government initiatives persist. The study recommends integrating environmental education into school curricula, promoting hands-on learning, increasing community and governmental support, and leveraging cultural practices to foster sustainable behaviors. These strategies aim to create an environmentally conscious society and empower children as proactive environmental stewards.
