  2. Place the items you will receive from the teacher in the appropriate waste container according to your needs.
  3. Justify your choice.
  4. Calculate the percentage of each type of waste collected during the activity. Do you think these percentages reflect the total composition of waste in real life?
  5. Why is it important to reduce non-recyclable and hazardous waste?
