Last Thursday we went to the Waitakere Transfer Station as part of our learning about Recycling.
Below are some things that we didn't know before we went.
Rubbish gets put in a hole in the ground called a landfill. (Lukas)
Plastic is made out of oil. (Jeet)
In the future...
I am going to recycle, compost, reuse and have a worm farm because I want Auckland to have 0% waste. (Kaia)
I am going to reuse my plastic bags because they cannot be recycled. (Justin)
I am not going to take clothes hangers from the shops. (Simon)
What fun! I so enjoyed going to the transfer station and learning about rubbish. In case the people who read this comment didn't go, the dump owners want zero waste by 2050. By then, if we haven't stopped our pollution ways, most animals will have plastic in them. I hope you get my message everyone. Thanks, Bethany.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent goal to have - no waste. I can see that you have learnt a lot about the need for recycling. Good on you Bethany for being so passionate about this.
