The document discusses recycling efforts at Dunbar-Pulaski school. It notes that the school recycles metal cans, cardboard, and paper, but only has a bin for paper products. Any litter on the ground risks contaminating groundwater. While nature recycles vegetation, Styrofoam should be discarded properly instead of in paper bins since it can destroy the ozone layer if released into the air.

1. Field Lab
Resources can be conserved and recycled

2. Metal Cans Were Found

3. Metal Cans Were Found
The City of Gary recycles
metal such as aluminum and
steel cans.

4. Limitations to the Recycling
Program at Dunbar-Pulaski

5. Limitations to the Recycling
Program at Dunbar-Pulaski
We only have a recycling
bin for paper products

6. Limitations to the Recycling
Program at Dunbar-Pulaski
The next best strategy is to
throw all litter into a garbage
bin. Litter on the ground can
eventually contaminate our
groundwater supply.

7. Cardboard was found

8. Cardboard was found
The City of Gary recycles
cardboard, but the colorful
laminate around candy
packaging can contaminate
our groundwater if left on
the soil.

9. Tree branches were found

10. Tree branches were found
Nature recycles vegetation
through decomposition

11. Paper was found

12. …and of course Dunbar-Pulaski
has a recycling bin for paper

13. The recycling bin gets heavy usage
at Dunbar-Pulaski

14. However, we found discarded
Styrofoam in a bin for paper

15. However, we found discarded
Styrofoam in a bin for paper
Styrofoam should be
discarded properly because if
Styrofoam escapes into our
atmosphere, then it helps
destroy our ozone layer.

16. Below is an example of a
Styrofoam cup and plate

17. Below is an example of a
Styrofoam cup and plate
The City of Gary currently
does NOT recycle
Styrofoam products.
