'evolution of human stupidity'

Hey guys! I saw this image on facebook, and I decided to share this with you. No words... !


recycling



My recycling week was very interesting. With this experience I saw that it costs you nothing to put your recyclable garbage in the correct ecopoint recycling container, because in this way we help to prevent many environmental problems that lead to the destruction of our planet And if many thought like me, we would live on a healthier planet. Altogether I got a total of 6kg of recyclable garbage this week. I'm satisfied with the amount of packaging which can be recycled, so I think the experience was worth it!

Recycling

Hello everyone!


After a week without putting waste in the recycling containers, I realized even more the amount of garbage that a person, in this case a family, produces. After joining and separating all the garbage I got:
- 1kg of paper / cardboard
- About 800g plastic (Milk cartons: about 1.2 kg)
- Organic waste (I don’t weighed, but of all the garbage, organic waste was about half).

Despite the plastic being less weighs, the plastic container was that has more waste. This is normal because for almost all products that we buy today are surrounded by plastic.
I did a "construction" with almost all the waste that my family did this week. Through the collected waste, I tried to represent almost all types of environmental pollution that man does (industrial pollution, "domestic" pollution, pollution by vehicles and river pollution) sensitizing all do so for the sorting of waste and we don’t pollute the environment, show how it looks "ugly" our planet is made ​​up garbage.








































































Many of us still don’t have the sensitivity to preserve our planet! Nobody like to see litter in their house, walking through the house and step on waste. Planet Earth is a home to everyone, so we must treat it as the house of every one of us, that is uniquely ours! We must separate their garbage in order to save the planet, not wasting the already limited resources so that the planet has to give us. Don’t pollute the rivers, because they give us is that which is so essential for us: Water!
If we all work together, we preserve the "health" of the planet for it during much more years!

Recycling

This week in my house i lived a new experience, to recycle all the garbage.
The kilos of garbage was counted 14kg then again a lot of garbage.
Well by analyzing the amounts of garbage and thinking on a planetary scale can be seen the influence that recycling is not for the pollution of the planet.
A little help from each can be a great help to the planet.

This is my work about Recycling.


During a week i had a new experience...Recycling!!!
During this week i talked with my family and we decide recycle.

In this video you can see the quantity of garbage that we did in one week.
I have to say that we don´t have the habit of recycle, this was the first time that we did it, but all of us know the importance of recycle. It helps our planet to have less pollution and be a healthier planet.
I liked this experience because i learnt where put the plastic, the glass, and the paper in respective boxes.
All of us should recycle! It´s so easy and a simples action helps our planet!
Don´t you want have a new and beautifull planet???
So don´t wait, 
You can do the difference!!!

Task 4 - Recycling Experiment

This week the task was about reclycling! During 7 days we were suposed to collect the garbage and separate it, in order to see how much of the total garbage the recycled garbage were.
I separated it into four diferent species, plastic, glass, paper and organic waste

plastic: milks, juice, yogurts, plastic, etc (4.6 kg)
glass: wine bottle, beer, flask, etc (5.1 kg)
paper: cereals, packet of cigarettes, pill box, etc (3.3 kg)

here are some images



About the organic waste it was to my little pig eheh say hello to Briosa!!



To finish I would just like to say that if we all contributed we could make the world a better place :)

Task 4



Right, here i show you that what i could recylce during a week. I Know that is a bad recycle because it can be more, but i never in my life, me and my family, had the habit of recycling. During this week i forgot sometimes to put the garbage on the right place, sometimes i put on my garbage can. In first picture, we can see the papers and the the cards too, ohhh and my swetty cat!! In the second picture, we can see both, the cards and papers, and the plastic. In the third picture we see da plastic. Lack glass, but in fact i didn't ''produced'' glass like i thought, so, neither on glass :(( SORRY GLASS! (he will kill me)
I didn't weighed the trash because my balance don't works, and i don't know the percentage about my recycling during a week, but i can tell you that made a good difference here in my home.
We all know that is importante use recycled materials that day, these will improve the results of pollution in Planet, is obvious that don't is just this measure that will change our Planet but is one of many that can make a difference.
This week it was a week about recycle in my house and i hope that i can improve my way of protecting th environment!!

Recycling is very important because with it we are helping our planet and reduce the pollution on our planet.
With this project , in my house, in a week i joined about a third of recyclables. I think it's good because at home we do not have much in the habit of recycling. It's a small gesture that can help our planet. And in addition to more, recycling is so easy: just put paper or cardboard boxes in blue ecopoint , glass in the green , and packaging, cans, bottles plastic and bags in the yellow ecopoint .
do as I, recycle and help the planet!

Back to the start

Sustainability is one of our main worries today (or at least it should be). It's time to rethink our actions, learn with our mistakes and change for the better.

Task 4 Recycling experiment

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.
Here you have some instructions and links to help you:

Our planet seen from the International Space Station

This is a video suggestion I got from National Geographic. It's a " time-lapse flyover made with NASA photos taken 240 miles above Earth from the International Space Station.". Once more: our planet is really beautiful!
