decomposing

Make more energy 
How much of our rubbish is made up of food scraps?
EPA estimates that more food reaches landfills and incinerators than any other single material in our everyday trash, constituting 22 percent of discarded municipal solid waste.
What does methane gas do to our planet?

If methane leaks into the air before being used – from a leaky pipe, for instance – it absorbs the sun's heat, warming the atmosphere. For this reason, it's considered a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide.
What does soil do to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
When the plants die, soil microbes break down their carbon compounds and use them for metabolism and growth, respiring some back to the atmosphere. Because microbial decomposition releases carbon dioxide, the soil can store more carbon when it is protected from microbial activity.
What do using zero waste practices do to our planet?

zero-waste strategy needs to ensure everyone has access to tools to reduce, reuse and recycle waste where they live, work and play. ... A zero-waste approach also protects the health of communities by reducing pollution in the air, water, and soil by keeping toxic and waste out of landfills and incinerators.

    .

    1. How long does this resource take to decompose?
    2. What resource/fossil fuel are they made from?
    3. How does making this object contribute to climate change?
    4. How is this resource recycled?:
    Zero Waste is a set of principles focused on waste prevention that encourages the redesign of resource life cycles so that all products are reused. The goal is for no trash to be sent to landfills, incinerators, or the ocean. ... Zero waste is more of a goal or ideal rather than a hard target.

    INFERRING

    Welcome to my blog today I’m blogging about inferring.
    Inferring is being able to ‘read between the lines’,
    when the author implies something but doesn’t exactly
    state it. You need to use the clues in the text and your
    own prior knowledge to help you understand.
    Etc: “Sarah’s mouth
    was dry and she had
    a big knot in her
    stomach. She wished
    today was already
    over.” ... I think she was so nervous about her speech




    1. the kids and teachers and parent helpers sit around the campfire.
    2. “I sat with Maddie on the way here,
    3. Everyone’s sitting on wooden benches, waiting for food.
    4. “I’ve got heaps of food for a midnight feast!”
    5. The food isn’t the same as the food at home.


    1. She had A lot of food to eat at midnight 
    2. Everyone's sit around the campfire together 
    3. She sat with her friend on the way there 
    4. Everyone was sitting on wooden benches waiting for their food 
    5. The food at camp not as good the food at home she did not like it
