Hi all,
I live in a Middle Eastern country and the waste and
pollution here is out of this world. Our students learn
little about the environment and don't really have a grasp
on the contribution they make to its demise. I have a list
of stats with big, scary numbers but I'm having trouble
illustrating it in a way they can get their heads around.
I am looking for an activity that actually illustrates
these stats if anyone has one.
Thank you

appeals at all, maybe you can adapt it to fit some food with
which they are familiar.

Oh we have pizza. The kids are Burger King/McDonald's/Pizza
Hut junkies. The rate of diabetes here is out of this world!

I love this idea. Thank you.

I'm glad you can use the idea. Of course, you'll have to find out
the percentages of trash as they relate to YOUR landfills or
however you dispose of solid waste. Good luck!
