Zero Waste

This week in class we have been working on a zero waste project. Zero waste is a lifestyle where your goal is to reuse everything and produce the least waste. For example: Using a compost system, not using plastic straws and cups, going to the bulk section in a grocery store and using mason jars for things. Here is a cool video for a zero waste lifestyle:    https://youtu.be/8D3yox0UIeY

We are making puppets, beeswax sandwich wrap, trashion and other cool stuff made out of trash. we took a tour of the american waste recycling facility. It was super big, 5 acres under one roof, it was stinky and gross. They had huge machines sorting the trash. It was really cool to see where it all went.  I also learned about how long it takes things to decompose and different kinds of plastic.
