S.I.F.E Visitors (Jo & Clemont)

Hi, on Tuesday 2nd June 09, my class had two visitors from the University of Waikato. Some of the informatian I learnt was:

• If you turn the tap of while brushing your teeth you can help the environment
• If you have a worm farm, never give the worms citrus
• Paper takes 2.5 months to break down in a landfill
• Milk Cartons take 5 years to break down in a landfill
• Cigarettes take 10 years to break down
• Tin cans take 100 years to break down in a landfill
  
• Beer cans (aluminium) take 200-500 years to break down in a landfill
• We have 1/32 of the earth to grow food on.
