We have compiled one of our most comprehensive resources that clearly outline our nation’s Natural Resources and what processes take place to turn them into the products we use. Then we explore the Life Cycle of everyday products that we use from the manufacturing process to how the product is disposed of at its life’s end. Finally we look at management of the waste that we all create including: landfill, incineration, hazardous waste, source reduction, recycling and composting initiatives. Comprised of reading passages, student activities for before and after reading, crossword, word search, final quiz, as well as complete answer keys.
