Ban the Bottle at FLHS??“It is estimated that if the current consumption pattern continues, by 2050 there will bemore plastic in our oceans than fish.”Vanatu, Costa Rica, India, Kenya, France, India, the university of Hong Kong, San Francisco, Concord Massachusetts, and many other places have passed legislation to ban the use of single-use plastics. Why are they doing this? Are plastics really so bad?? How can we live without them??? Americans used about 50 billion plastic water bottles last year. That’s about 315 per person. So, that means FLHS uses approximately 630,000 plastic bottles per year task will be to investigate this issue, make a recommendation, and propose some real solutions, things that we could actually do, here at FLHS. Part 1: What’s the problem?Each group will research one of the following and contribute to a class concept map explaining the effects of plastics on: (rubric)human healthoverexploitation of resources and effect on carbon cyclehabitat destruction (land) and habitat destruction (ocean)climate changepollutioneconomic considerations (cost of manufacture, cost to the communities that are sources of water for bottled water)Poster Rubric ???0 ???1 ???2 ???3 ???41. ?At least 3 relevant main ideas2. ?Supporting data for each of the above3. ?All ideas bulleted4. Works cited (submit separately on paper)1333500-12382600Part 2: Developing a Solution1. Each group: What should we do at FLHS? Develop a proposal for a plan of action. Your group will focus on either Reduce, Reuse, or Recycle. Be sure to address the different aspects of sustainability. Proposal will be presented on a poster.
