Conservation and Consumption Unit Includes Fieldtrip to the Bullitt Center

In biotech/biology, students were engaged in an integrated project where they collected their own personal garbage and weighed and sorted it every day for a 10-day period.  All the while, they learned about composting, recycling, and waste in Seattle.  At the end of the garbage collection period, all biotech/biology students went on a field trip to the Bullitt Center-the greenest commercial building in the world!  For students, the project continues into 2nd semester where they will analyze their consumption
Enthused about weighing consumed products.
