The Story of Stuff
  • Ever wonder where all of our stuff comes from?
    And why we waste so much?
  • The Story of Stuff
  • http//storyofstuff.org/

5
What is Waste?
  • Unwanted or undesired material or substance.
  • It may consist of the unwanted materials left
    over from a manufacturing process or from
    community and household activities.
  • It is also used to describe something we use
    inefficiently or inappropriately.

6
Rethinking before Recycling
  • Which of these do you think is the better choice
    for the environment?
  • OR

7
  • The aluminum can is a better environmental choice
    because it can be recycled!
  • Although the juice box is 70 paper, it also
    contains an aluminum liner and a plastic liner
    and cover.
  • Plastic and aluminum are recycled using different
    processes, making the juice box difficult to
    recycle.

8
Reduce Reuse Recycle!
  • Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the
    best way to help the environment.
  • There are lots of ways to do this. For example
  • Buy products without a lot of packaging
  • Turn off lights
  • Turn off water
  • Take public transportation/car pool

9
Reuse
  • Instead of throwing things away, try to find ways
    to use them again!
  • For example
  • Use cloth bags at the store
  • Donate old or used clothing
  • Plastic containers that can be used more than once

10
Recycle
  • Many of the things we use every day, like paper
    bags, soda cans, and milk cartons, are made out
    of materials that can be recycled.
  • Recycled items are put through a process that
    makes it possible to create new products out of
    the materials from the old ones.

11
Replace
  • Adopt eco-friendly goods or lifestyles, such as
    using handkerchiefs instead of tissues, travel by
    public transport instead of private cars.
  • Use durable items instead of one-off disposable
    items (ex replace paper cups with mugs/glasses)
  • Choose environmentally friendly alternatives if
    available, such as biodegradable cleaners and
    garbage bags, also use less toxic chemicals

12
Biodegradable Products
  • Products made from things that were once living
    are broken down easily by decomposers.
