Recycling our Rubbish!

Today we learnt about handling and recycling our rubbish. We did some quiz's and questionnaires about recycling and what we use with our old rubbish! We also sorted the plastic and different materials onto the photographs of natural resources; wood and plastic. Then we looked at different materials and had to guess what they were made of like; play ground surface, pencil case, underlay, Rucksack, trowel, ladle, clipboard. Did you know that roof tiles are actually made of Disposable Nappies! The non renewable Resources that make the thing we have today are, sand which is made to use glass, Oil which makes plastic and Bauxite which makes Aluminium. The Renewable Resources that we used were wood which makes paper but also reduces habitats and Cotton which makes materials like bags. The actual word that is used for a dump/tip is landfill. The Gas that comes from the stinky garbage is called Methane.
