    dump waste into rivers. In Brazil, only 2% of all plastic pet is recycled, and this waste ends up in rivers, lakes and the ocean.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    In my neighborhood we do not have selective collection, but I take care to separate the waste and take it to the collection center.
