How Much Waste Do You Produce, and How Much Do You Know How to Manage?
As people become aware of waste disposal problems in their communities, more people are recycling more materials. Some things are easy to recycle, such as newsprint, office paper, or aluminum drink cans. Other things are harder to classify. Most of us give up pretty quickly and throw things in the trash if we have to think too hard about how to recycle them.
Take a poll to find out how many people in your class know how to recycle the items in the table at right. Once you have taken your poll, convert the numbers to percentages: divide the number who know how to recycle each item by the number of students in your class, and then multiply by 100.
