Abstract of my topic
For my topic, I was interested in seeing how much space we could save in landfills if even just a small percentage of schools and families recycled their chip bags. So, I went to my former elementary and middle school and talked to the principals about how I would like them to participate in my chip bag collection, and for the next two weeks both the Merton Intermediate School and the Merton Primary School helped me collect chip bags for my project! With their help, I was able to calculate the approximate percentage of chip bags that elementary school students would recycle and I was able to use that to determine how much chip bag waste we could keep out of landfills.
