Here Today, Here Tomorrow

 

Welcome to the "Here Today, Here Tomorrow" exploration module. Here you can see the different kinds of trash that fill up our landfills.


Paper

The number one type of trash in our landfills is PAPER! Most paper is biodegradable, but when you bury paper in a landfill, the bacteria nad fungi that eat paper can not survive. This means that the paper will stay in the landfill for many years and never change. Some common paper products are listed below. Can you think of a way to recycle or reuse the items?

Paper Towels
Milk Carton
Magazines
Pizza Box
Gift Wrapping Paper
Old Phone Book
