Sammanfattning: One of the biggest environmental issue on our planet is waste that have unnaturally ended up in our nature. By giving the younger children a certain understanding of why we need to take care of our planet, a greater commitment tosustainable development can be created. A broader understanding of the worldwe live in can be created by discovering and investigating the phenomenon ofdegradation. The purpose of the study is therefore to increase knowledge aboutchildren's perceptions of the organic and inorganic waste degradation process.Through this study, success factors can be made visible to further develop theindividual's knowledge. The data collection of this study uses group interviews with preschool childrenin the age span of 3–5 from two preschools from separate municipalities. The results of the study show that children have an understanding on the organic degradation process, while they had difficulty linking this process withinorganic waste. The analysis of the data collection refers to the fact that theresult has been affected by previous experiences of, for instance compost and recycling. Being able to present choices that children can make individually at an earlyage through preschool activities is extremely important, and therefor it´s goodto work a lot with for example compost and recycling. On the other hand, itwill also be important that the activities offer a greater understanding of whywe should take care of our planet and give children the opportunity to engagein questions about the environmental issues.
