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!

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.
