Solve a world problem- waste
Our assignment was to research a world problem then brainstorm and present our solution. My group for this project included Howard Fry, Zoe Null, and Holly Jossart. We decided to research overpopulation. After researching this for a while we realized that it was not exactly the number of people that was the problem, it was the amount of waste the population produced how it was disposed of. This proposition brought us to recycling, then this lead to the recycling we do at our school, San Marin high school. To see our project detail please look below and to see our presentation please scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.
Our process
1. We researched different world problems and found problems like unclean water, overpopulation, and polution
2. Then we brainstormed solutions to different problems.
3. Chose a world problem and created a well thought out solution.
4. Then we created an experiment
5. For our experiment we decided to get some recycling bins that are never put out during breaks, so we put them all over campus and recorded how much waste was in the trash and recycling bins after break and after lunch. We calculated the average amount of waste in the bins and then drew a diagram representing our data. The diagram below shows the results after one school day.

6. After analyzing this data we realized that we need recycling bins because waste products that could be recycled are going to our landfills are polluting our counties and cities.
7. Finally we built our presentation and presented it to class. ( To see it please look to the bottom of the page)
