Waste Management - Prevention, Recycling & Conservation

Prevention, Recycling & Conservation initiatives are explored in a way that makes them easier for students to understand. What is conservation, what are natural, renewable and nonrenewable resources? We also look at methods used to reduce the landfill waste by composting along with how organic materials are broken down. Written to grade and using simplified language and vocabulary we discover prevention methods for waste and pollution contaminating fresh water resources along with prevention initiatives caused by burning fossil fuels which pollute the atmosphere causing smog, depleted ozone and greenhouse gases. As well we introduce alternative fuels, zero waste goals and sustainable living methods. Our resource is comprised of ready-to-use reading passages, student activities and overhead transparencies for remedial students.
