Trace the Trash
Students engage with the origins of materials found in everyday products, examine the stages of a product’s lifecycle to understand how they come into existence, and learn options for our “stuff” when we’re done using it. Tracing these stories from beginning to end, students gain valuable insights into the environmental impact of the products they use and how their choices can make a difference in reducing waste and conserving resources.
