Solid Waste Management - A WebQuest
This WebQuest is designed to introduce students to the problems associated with the disposal of solid waste. They will investigate ways in which the amount of solid waste generated by both individuals and businesses can be reduced using the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle). They will also investigate alternatives to landfilling waste such as incineration and composting. The students will develop a waste management plan for a city that is facing a shortage of landfill space.
