LET’S REFLECT…

Reveal the data story below, and reflect on the following questions:

  1. General: Can you estimate how many bottles are bought every hour, day, and week?
  2. Community: Does your school or community have recycling programs?
  3. Ethical: Can you find out how much plastic waste your town or city recycles? Do you think it is enough?
