Tapping into the sensorial and affective possibilities of the arts, we invite slow, situated pedagogies that keep waste \u2018in sight and in mind\u2019. Our work envisions pedagogies that rethink management approaches (reduce, reuse, recycle) and refigure young children\u2019s relationships with waste.
