  1. DO NOWlook carefully at this picture. Look for evidence of recycling or energy saving ideas

  2. DON’T WRITE YOUR ANSWERS DOWN SAVE THEM IN YOUR HEAD

  3. SHARE AT LEAST ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS

  4. What did we notice in the picture

  5. THIS TERM WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN MADE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY

  6. Stop don’t just chuck me out!!! Learning Objective: To be aware of waste management within our community and to take action. Concepts: Sustainability, Recycling Perspectives/ Activities: Inquiry, Research, social Action

  7. THE TEACHERS PLEDGE FOR THIS UNIT • WE WILL TRY TO LIMIT THE USE OF: What difficulties do you think we will face with this pledge Brainstorm with others in your group and come up with some possible difficulties we will face.

  8. Learning objective: What do we already know about how our community deals with these product or containers when we have finished with them.

  9. A LOAD OF RUBBISHHE UTANGA PARAHANGA • What is waste HE AHA RAWA TE PARA? • Waste, litter, rubbish or trash: whatever you call it, it’s all the things people don’t want or need. Waste is seen as useless and worthless. It’s out-of-date, it doesn’t fit, is left over from lunch or doesn’t work. People decide what rubbish is, and every year, all around the world, they are throwing away 4 billion tonnes of it. That’s the same weight as 333 million city buses.

  10. So what are we throwing out E waste 1.5% Other stuff 8.3% Plastic 13.5% Paper 25.5% Food and other organic waste 51.2% In your books make a strip graph to show these percentages

  11. Why worry

  12. Gone but not forgottenkuawareware – engarikaoreingarorawa Thick plastic bags such as school bags take 1000 years Banana Peel takes 4 weeks to break down Printers take 450 years Plastic jug will take 1 million years Develop a time line in your books to show how long this pile of rubbish will be in the ground before it breaks down. If your family gains a new generation every 30 years how many generations of your family will come and go before all these products have been broken down Thin plastic bags will take 15 years

  13. Work it out!!! tauria • Research for home work. • Ask your mum or dad how many rubbish bags your household puts out every week. • If your are brave enough use some gloves and take a look inside your rubbish bags to see what your family throws away. • Make of note of the items in your books then work out how long it will take for the rubbish in your bag to break down.

  14. Add to your time line Your time line can go on for a few more generations yet

  15. Do now. On a posit provided, write down the number of rubbish bags you family puts out each week. Then put your posit on the whiteboard. Count up the total number of bags put out by the classes families each week, then multiply that by 52. That is the number of rubbish bags our class puts out in a year. Work out the following formula if a full rubbish bag measures approximately 1000mm x 600mm And a foot ball field measures 100m x 70m how many bags would it take to cover a football field. NO CALCULATORS

  16. Global impact • The big cover up Te hunanganui • Where in the world does all that rubbish go • Ka haereenaparahangakihearawa?

  17. We don’t often think about what happens to our rubbish after it’s collected. It doesn’t just disappear. In fact, most of what the world has thrown away long ago probably still exists in some way today. Archaeologists use ancient rubbish sites to find evidence of how people lived thousands of years ago so perhaps when our great greatgreatgreat grandchildren dig up old civilisation sites that are actually our tip sites they will find out a lot about how wasteful we really are!!!

  18. HISTORY SPOT DID YOU KNOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BURYING RUBBISH FOR AGES. The earliest known rubbish dump existed 5,ooo years ago in Crete! (want to know where crete is? Look it up in an atlas or visit www.maps.google.co.nz

  19. Landfills ngatapukewhenua • Most waste ends up in a landfill or dump, a large hole in the ground filled with rubbish then covered with layers of dirt. It keeps most waste out of sight, but as it rots it can leak poisonous gases and chemicals into the earth and ground water.

  20. Incinerating: Te tahu parahanga • Burning rubbish gets rid of it quickly and means it doesn’t have to go into a landfill. On the other hand, burning creates gases and ash that go straight into the air that we breathe. The heat from burning waste is sometimes used to make steam to warm homes and buildings.

  21. Welcome to the biggest rubbish dump in the world • In the ocean between Japan and Hawaii is the biggest rubbish dump the world has ever seen. It’s the North Pacific Gyre where the ocean’s currents work like a toilet bowl, sucking everything on the outside (near land) into the centre. Only it won’t flush away. It’s collecting waste from Asia and North America. The gyre is a floating tip more than three times the size of Aotearoa NZ!!

  22. Don’t worry! It’s not all bad. Find out more about the Gyre and how people can stop it growing by visiting www.greengorilla.com

  23. There are 5 gyre rings in the worlds oceans

  24. Use your atlas or google earth to locate the longitude and latitude of at least one of these gyre. Name some of the countries nearest to the gyre you have chosen.

  25. Other places Getting rid of waste costs money. Some countries find that sending their waste overseas is cheaper than getting rid of it at home. Often it’s a case of out of sight out of mind. If waste is sent away, another nation has to worry about the clean up .

  26. Ghana West Africa • Second-hand computers arrive there from all over the world with the idea of being reused by local people. • However, most of the computers don’t work (e waste). Mike Anane, an environment expert working for the United Nations, says “the computers are junk. They just don’t work. They go straight to the dump sites around the country.

  27. Global spring cleaning It looks like waste is a global disaster, but we can help, look at how people all over the world are getting stuck into the big rubbish clean up.

  28. Japan • All Japanese companies making tv’s, washing machines, fridges or air conditioners have to take back their goods and recycle them once they’re no longer wanted.

  29. BRAZIL • Rather than throw away the batteries that power personal computers or mobile phones, Brazilians can drop their old batteries off at collection points to be recycled. Sony, a company that makes many battery powered products, runs the sites and recycles batteries, keeping them safely out of landfills and incerators.

  30. INDIA • the wet season in 2005, there were so many plastic bags being used in Maharashtra that they clogged drains and caused flooding. To solve the problem plastic bags have been banned. How it is illegal to make, sell or use a plastic bag anywhere in that region. Meanwhile in Goa, another part of India, people are turning old newspapers into paper bags to be used instead of plastic.

  31. COLLINGWOOD AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND • Kiwis use over a billion plastic bags a year. To make a difference, Collingwood, found at the top of the South Island, became the first town in Aotearoa NZ to ban them, saving 1 million plastic bags every year. (want to know what other countries are banning the bag?) • www.bringyourbag.com/enviro

  32. EGYPT • In Cairo Egypt, locals can go to recycling school where they are taught how to transform plastic bottles into other products.

  33. Local action - what can we do • Learning objective. Small steps can make a difference. Student can research, plan and implement an action plan around the school to reduce the amount of rubbish the school produces or the way that rubbish is dealt with.

  34. LETS GET BRAINSTORMING interview Where Who Measure What how Photograph Record Make a difference - make a plan

  35. What Trash could we work on paper Food scraps E Waste White board markers

  36. Where is this trash located Social studies upper Massey PE Department Student centre Management Arts department Staff Room Copy Room English Lower Massey Library Maths Dept Science Block

  37. NOW WE ARE ON OUR WAY • ONCE WE HAVE A PLAN • YOU CAN • MAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE • REPORT TO THE BOARD ON RUBBISH ISSUE • TAKE ACTION YOURSELF TO SOLVE THE RUBBISH PROBLEM
