Observe the amount of waste at home each day. This may be
waste from the kitchen as well as items thrown away in
bathroom and house bins. Make a tally for each item (plastic,
glass, paper, food, aluminium/metal and other waste) that is
thrown away. On Day 4 total the tallies.
Create a graph using your data. Then answer the questions.
