Don’t
Break the Rules
If we “treat” waste badly, there will be trouble for us and the environment; on the other hand,
if we “treat” it well, it becomes a resource.
You can find proof of this in our next matching game.
Take a can, a newspaper and a plastic bottle, if they are not recycled,
they would take a very long time to decompose: anything from 4 to 12 months, from 20 to 100 years,
or from 100 to 1000 years, but not in this order.
For each type of the above objects, try to correctly identify the time needed for its decomposition.
Here is the same game with the same materials, but this time they were responsibly recycled. The numbers are 3, 27 and 800.
So how many cans are needed to build a bicycle? And how many plastic bottles are needed to make a fleece sweatshirt? And, lastly,
how many shoe boxes are necessary to make a cardboard document folder?
Again, you have the numbers: try to match them correctly.
