Task 4 - Maria Rita



This week there was no glass or batteries to recycle, but we could gather a good quantity of plastic, metal, paper and cardboard - in the end, the result was an almost full garbage bag with plastic and metal and a small bag with paper and cardboard tightly packed (I wasn't able to weigh the bags because we don't have a weighing-machine at home).
This task was really interesting to do, because it made me realize the ammount of garbage that we produce at home. Of all the household waste produced in my house, I think about 90% is recyclable, though we only recycle around 80% because of the rubbish bins in the rooms. This situation will have to change so that we can "help" a little bit more this threatened planet! After all, if we all separated the garbage, recycling would be a huge helping hand!
