As part of the Comenuius Green Globe Project, the sixth grade took a field trip to the waste treatment facility for the Sierra Sur in Estepa. It was a smelly trip, but very interesting. Everything can be used and re-used...it's just a matter of finding out how.
Did you know that the garbage you throw away gets converted into fertilizer? Or that the plastics we recycle can become your winter coat? This is why recycling is so important--tell your parents and start recycling today!
Como parte del Proyecto Comenius de Green Globe, los alumnos de sexto fueron de excursión a la planta de reciclaje aquí de la Sierra Sur en Estepa. Fue una visita pestosa pero muy interesante. :) Todo los que usamos puede ser reutilizado...solo es cuestión de encontrar la manera de hacerlo.
¿Sabías, por ejemplo, que la basura orgánica que tiramos se convierte en abono para los campos? ¿Y sabías que el plástico que reciclamos puede llegar a convertirse en un ingrediente imprescindible de tu abrigo? Por esto, reciclar es tan importante--díselo a tus padres y empieza a reciclar hoy!
These are bales of pressed cardboard and paper.
This tractor is stirring the organic garbage to help natural bacteria break it down into fertilizer.
Here's were the different recyclable parts of our garbage get dumped. Can you tell the difference between the two piles of plastics? Not all plastics are created equal. ;)
We learned a lot...even if we had to cover our noses!
