Rubbish+Rebels

Rubbish Rebels! For our second action we walked along the bottom half of Rototuna Road and counted the number of recycling bins, black bin bags, paper recycling bags and green waste wheelie bins to give us an idea of how much rubbish was being thrown away compared to how much was being recycled. We carried out this research action on two consecutive weeks. We then worked out the average of this data and got a shocking result. The amount of black bin bags compared to the amount of recycling bins was significantly higher as you can see in our results table, although the amount of paper recycling bags was higher then the amount of recycling bins. We came to the conclusion that even though people are recycling, they aren’t recycling everything that could be recycled and this is an issue. Results!
