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!
