This activity is designed to be completed in class over a period of a week or a little more. It requires students to collect, weigh, record, and analyse the waste they produce during the week. It will help them to realise how much waste is generated and to recognise the differences between general waste, recycled products, and reusable materials. There are questions to help with their thinking about the issues.
