This task requires the involvement of your household.
It is going to be quite simple: during a week, separate the garbage you produce at home and keep the one that can be recycled (paper, glass, metal, plastic, batteries, etc.). Weigh it to check the amount from your total garbage that can be recycled (Weigh different types of garbage separately - plastic/metal, glass, paper, etc.).
Document your experiment with pictures and write a brief report on it.

I started this experiment on 17th November and I finished that on 24th November; I was very surprised with the final results.
ReplyDeleteMy family always makes the selective separation of materials, but for this week the results are a little excessive in relation to the paper and general garbage, because my mother tidying up the office and collected a lot of paper, not counting the amount of publicity that we receive.
We did not produce glass items. In plastic, we produced milk cartons and yogurt packages and plastics from junk mail and publicities.
So the results for this week are:
Garbage – 3,200 Kg
Paper – 2,200 Kg
Plastic – 0,800 Kg
Glass – 0,000 Kg
If in a house we produced 6,200 Kg, during a week, how will be in the entire globe?
The best we have to do is recycling, the best to our blue planet.
