Today we had an insightful trip to the Waitakere Waste Management site also known the dump where we take our rubbish. We had the lovely Anna who taught us that our rubbish gets put into dug up hole called landfills and then earth is placed on top. For years the rubbish sits under the dirt decomposing and mixing with the land.
Tufala and Julius lifting the rubbish bags and saying how heavy the rubbish bag was. After sorting the rubbish the rubbish bag shrunk meaning that we can 1) recycled plastics and paper/cardboard 2) reuse some rubbish like old t'shirts however scrunchy materials like chip packets need to be thrown into the rubbish
Fact: did you know that clear plastics are shipped to Thailand and over there they turn clear plastics into polar fleeces, scarves?
Then after the tour we got to explore the worm farm.
"Look, it's a worm" said Julius
Wow...what a big day of learning Clever Kiwis!
