Water Testing Connection

1.) Our group chose to do plastic recycling.
2.) Using our bio bottles for support, our action project will be to promote plastic recycling and to show its importance. We want to help others become aware of the effects not recycling their plastics can have on our environment. Plastics take an extremely long time to compose and instead often end up in our water table so not only do they effect the growing of plants they also pollute our water. We want to show people that when plastic is littered it harms our environment severely.
3.) In our bio bottle we will be testing numbers 1 and 2 plastic and the effect they have on the growing of our grass and peas. We have 1 bottle that will be our constant and the other 2 bottles each have 10 pieces of plastic laying on top of the soil. We will compare the growth of our plants in the bottles with the plastic to our constant bottle and hopefully there is a significant difference between the plants so we can show others how harmful plastic truly is and how important recycling our plastics are to our environment.
4.) You assigned us temperature for our river test which I'm not really sure how that relates to plastic recycling but I do know that if plastic is not recycled it often ends up in our river which severely impacts our water table because it often causes the death of animals because they tend to mistake the plastic debris for food and then their bodies can't digest it so they die. Even worse when the animal eats it and dies, then its body decompose, the plastic does not and it remains in the water to be digested again and kill more animals. (www.buzzle.com)
