Task 4 - Beatriz Martins

During this week, I, my sister, my father and my mother did the recycling experiment (task 4).

I think recycling is very important for the environment because we produce a lot of garbage and we "send" it to landfills instead of reusing, recovering, renewing and recycling it. We have to realise that if we do the right thing with our garbage we will live much longer and save our planet from unnecessary pollution. So, I think everyone should follow the rule of the 5 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recover, Renew and Recycle) and be "green"!

I have no weighing-machine at home and because of that I could't measure the weight of the garbage that we produced.

Result:

  - lots of plastic;

  - paper (mainly publicity);

  - no glass.

 

Task 4 - Pedro =P

 Me and my family (dad, mom and twin) have been reciclyng since our birth (mine and my twin one) and this week we produce aprox.


Paper - 500g
Plastic - 1 Kg
Glass - 250g (however in the bin were only 2 bottles)


With this task I get that my family produces much more plastic waste then paper and glass but we are a green family because we recycle so this amount of garbage will not "damage the Earth or Pollute the sea" XD

Getting to Zero

"The beginning of the end of AIDS starts with you"

"The beginning of the end of AIDS starts with you". This is the slogan of a campaign by ONE and (RED), two organizations fighting against AIDS. Some of their objectives are by 2015, to be able to provide treatment to the millions more who need it, drastically reduce new infections, and virtually end the transmission of HIV from mothers to their babies. 

2011 marks the 30th anniversary of AIDS. Today - December 1st - is World AIDS Day. 

The (2015)QUILT is a symbol of their struggle. It's a piece of digital artwork from people all over the world who are fighting for the first AIDS free generation in 30 years. You have the chance to create and share your own panel. join me, along with millions of ONE and (RED) supporters and create your own panel on the (2015)QUILT.

And, as a bonus, you get to download a Christmas song by the Killers for free.
