Projects - conclusions

CONCLUSIONS

•PREVENTION better than solving the CONSEQUENCES

→ DO NOT WASTE

•Recycling (down- and up-cycling) PREFERRED

but just when it is WORTH IT

•INCINERATION preferred over LANDFILLING

CONCLUSIONS

CRITICAL THINKING

BE CRITICAL

• Plastic or paper bags ?

• Recycling of biowaste and metals ?

• Using of solar panels ?

• Nuclear energy ?

• Is it really ECO / BIO ?

LCA (Life Cycle Assessmet)

BE RESPONSIBLE

• Do you also have the newest version of iPhone?

• Have you ever tried to dumpster your own trash bin?

• Have you ever tried to drink water from your toilet?

• Have you ever thought about cooperating on eco project with your parents?
