=Synthesise: =

22-5-11 Sofia T, Sofia B & Juliana G The bad and inadecuable use of paper and plastic is causing a serius and negative impact on the school enviorment, because we are wasting machines that waste and waste. At big schools, as they keep growing, the waste of paper and plastic is increasing also every day. People waste because they aren´t aware, contient or they are lazy to recycle and throw it to the correct bin. The paper and the plastic is easy to reuse, reduce and recycle but because is an everyday activity and people aren´t aware has become one of the biggest pollution problem **in the world.**  **People waste becuase the are badly informed of the effect of what they are doing. We need to start to value the paper and plastic because it can be taken away even though they are resource we daily use. The everyday education that is giving from adults to kids is going to be aply on the actions of the students, thats why teachers should include awarness claasses on their teaching plans.** We use paper in our everyday works at school as taking notes, test and homework. We use plastic on the plastic bottles we buy, the plastic packets, the pens, plastic bags, plastic cups and luchboxes. The people that do the waste are the students, the teachers and teh ofiece people.They do it at school.  Sofia B, 26-5-11 sintesis: el mal y inadecuado uso del papel y el plastico causa serio y negativo impacto en el medioambiente del colegio, porque nosotros somos como maquinas gastadoras que solo sabemos gastar, gastar y gastar. En los colegios de gran tamaño, cada ves que cresen el gasto de papel y plastico tambien. Las personas gastan porque no estan consientes o son demasiado peresosos para reciclar o tirar la basura al correcto contenedor. El papel y el plastico es facil de reciclar, reusar, y redusir el uso pero porque es una actividad de todos los dias y la gente no es consiente se ha combertido uno de los problemas de polusion mas grandes del mundo. la gente gasta porque estan mal informados de los efectos que hacen al malgastar. nosotros tenemos que empesar a entender el valor que tiene el papel y el plastico en el mundo. La educasion que los adultos le dan a los niños va a aplicar las acciones de los estudiantes, y por eso es que los profesores deverian de incluir clases espesiales sobre esto o deverian de enseñarle a los padres para que ellos les enseñen a los hijos. 

**RESEARCH:**

it's very simple. the waste is producted when the people throw in an unessesary way materials that can be used. is also not using materials that can be used and use more than what you need. it begins at the beginig of the year, when we need to give like five bloks of paper so this makes us waste many paper. Then evendough we have some classes abou it we use many plastic and paper in the school and then is when we start wasting, using more than what we should and wasting paper, loosing trees, wasting plastic, loosing quiality of the land. For wasting first you buy the material made of plastic/paper, then you use it, correctly or in a incorrectly way, then you just throw it to the trash can, then insted of beeing recycle that is what it should be done is taken buy a truk that takes at least 5 tones of thrash per day to a dump where all thrash that goes there is burned and it pollutes the air. In all the process there are many part that pollute in different ways, with deforestation, if the trash is in the green area and an animal eats it the animal can get sick or die, also it pollutes the water because if the wind take the plastic or paper to a river or any little river it pollutes, and the air because when its burned the chemicals that the plastic and paper has pollutes the water.
