FQUIZ: "WHAT A WASTE!" Game

 

Work with your partner and find how much energy will be saved if you decide to apply your plan at school. Try to make the calculations. Here are the facts you need to take into consideration:

 

For the production of 1 tonne (1.000 kg) of paper we spend :

1) 4.000 kg of wood 2) 40.000 litres of water 3) 7.000 kWatts of energy

 

Can you work out how many trees, how much water and how much energy we waste in Greece if we think of the 700,000 tonnes of paper we send to the landfills each year?

700,000 tonnes of paper = Εικόνα1) ………………………….. kg of wood

2) …………………………... litres of water

3) …………………………... kWatt of energy
