Understanding the Environmental Impact of Decomposing Waste

This PowerPoint presentation by Will Wilson aims to raise awareness about the dangers trash poses to our environment. Every day, millions of items like cell phones, styrofoam, and batteries are discarded, many of which do not decompose. For instance, over 130 million cell phones enter the U.S. waste stream annually, posing serious risks due to potential mercury and arsenic leakage. It emphasizes the importance of recycling and encourages people to utilize resources like electronics recycling programs offered at various stores. Special thanks to Mrs. Rummell, classmates, and LPMS for their support.
