1. What a load of Rubbish - Overview Of Project
You are required to;

2. Look in your recycling bins at home, if you do not recycle then simply look in your bin. Try to find the following products:
Paper, milk carton, plastic cup, plastic container, plastic bottle, tin can, orange peel, drink can, leaves, glass bottle, plastic bag.
Sort this recycling into bio-degradable and non-biodegradable.

Example Table:
4. What impact does rubbish have on our environment?
5. What is bio-degradable plastic? How could this help the environment?
6. What does carbon footprint mean?
7. Use to see how many planets you are using.
8. List what you could be doing better as a family to recycle
