During a week, from November
19 to November 26, I, with the active collaboration of my household (a total of
four), made the selective separation of materials.
If it wasn't for this task, I
would have never thought that so much garbage could be produced in my
house!
Apart from materials that
cannot be recycled, from breakfast to dinner time, liquid yogurt bottles, milk
cartons, water bottles, rice and sugar packets, among others, are
accumulated.
The results of this week’s
work are:
– Paper and card ± 0,650 kg
– Plastic and metal ± 1,200 kg
– Glass ± 0,400 kg
After this task, I was really impressed with the waste produced in a house inhabited by four people (2 teens and 2 adults), during a week. Assuming that this is more or less the amount of waste produced in a home, during a week, a lot of garbage is produced by 7 billion people, around the world, every year. If all this household garbage was recycled, we would, without a shadow of doubt, live on a better planet!
So recycle! Protect the life of our planet! Safeguard your life!
