Identifying a Problem

curtishitchens — 2015-09-01 23:44:45 UTC

Choose a piece of trash. Find out where this trash goes after it leaves the owner.

Does someone collect it from you?

Do you have to take it somewhere?

What happens to it in the end?

What's one problem with the way this trash is handled? What are people doing now to solve this problem? Why don't these solutions work?

FLL Idea From Nick

If you could recycle the plastic bottles from Saddle Ridge and the plastic bottles from The Rock Spring Rec then you could use those bottles some how to create composting Bens. You also reduce the amount of garbage that goes to the land field probably by 70% at the rec center and Saddle Ridge. Use the plastic bottles to create some sort of composting Bens you might need some other materials besides that as well. Then you use the waste from the school cafeteria ti compost in the composting Bens and create a project where a certain grade level is assigned to garden some sort of food vegetable there every year and they can use the waste from the compost Bens as fertilizer in the garden and that way you turned it into a project that last forever or as long as somebody at the school wants to be in charge of it.
