Even though we are working on our Biodiversity Flag,
that doesn’t mean that we forget about the other themes.
The first flag we got was about Litter and Waste.
We learned a lot about recycling at that time
and since.
Here are two videos on Vimeo
about recycling that I think you will enjoy.
Both videos are about recycling cardboard boxes.

Both feature boys of eight or nine years of age.
The first one, is fictional
and the second one really happened.
Which is your favourite?
The Adventure of A Cardboard Box
How many ways does the hero in this video
use the box?
The 2nd video is about this boy.
His name is Caine.

Did you ever make anything out of a cardboard box?
If you want to know what happened next, take a look at
Caine’s Arcade 2
I loved the way that the boy in the first movie had happy memories of the box, even after it was knocked down and had gone home to ‘box heaven.’ This is like real life, when happy memories help us with things and people that we have lost.
I liked Cain’s arcade video because it is inspiring for other children around the world who like to invent games.He’s really creative. I love his ideas.
I thought Cain’s arcade was a really creative idea. I liked it because he made every single bit of it. I also thought that the boy with the box was also very creative and imaginative.
I liked Cain’s arcade because he is only a 9 year old boy with a great imagination. He inspired me and others around the world. I hope he becomes very successful in life.

This is a really cool idea especially coming from a nine year old boy.I love the way he made everything himself and it was made mostly from recycable games.
It is really cool that you can do so many things with a cardboard box.
I think the boy did more with the box when he recycled it again and again, than he did with the thing that came in the box.
I think that Cain was brave, hardworking and creative to make the arcade.
I think Caine is a mini genius – a Baby Einstein.
I think the movie about Caine is inspiring children to do something creative when recycling.
