Minimising waste

                                                     The six Rs of minimising waste 

Last week we went to the Enviro center with room 1 we travelled there on a big bus it was very exciting. They told us all about waste and how to reuse things that i did not know we could reuse.  They also told us about how everyday people from the super market staff chuck heaps of truck loads of food out everyday and they just dump it in a big rubbish bin, but most days people come and bring food that is only just over expired and they take it to the enviro center and at the enviro center they make sure its not moldy and then name it and take it to places or families that cant afford and so the people can get some food. Also they took us through some stayshions and showed us around  and showed us a video about  when there was a 

dump at a beach and how much rubbish went in the sea and bushes  and buried around the sand.

The people who worked there took us to a room and showed  aus about the six Rs  they wore and we learnt what odder they went in and what they do and mean.  It was very cool and interesting to learn heaps of things that i did not know before. Also one lady who worked there called Cody she look us around the garden and we tasted heaps of fresh and wet and warm vegetables they wore so delicious.    

We kept going through stations then I went to the compost station with Cody and she got us to get some compost and feel it and smell it. It smelt so yuck!!!!! Cody told us how to make a very good compost and she said to make layers  like a lanza and the layers have to go green brown and she told us what to put in the layers it was like twigs and leafs are really good to. 

Then we went to this room and learnt about the six Rs and they are 

Reuse= People can refuse to by something that they want but don't really need but they will not by it because at the end of that objects life sickle it will eventually rot down into the ground and will be not that good for the plants and the environment.  

Refuse= you need to refuse to by something  that you want but don't need.

Recycle= People can recycle things and put it in there recycle bin.

Reduce = you can reduce  the amount of me materials used.

Repair = can the product be repaired easily .

Rot = at the end of every thing that is plastic it will eventually rot away in the ground or go into the sea but if it rots.

Then we went back to school in the bus and had our lunch. My favorite part of the trip was tasting all the different types of the fresh of food from the garden and i loved learning heaps of things about how to do an apic compost and worm farm.
