[greenyes] Recycling Detective Investigation 3



Who Did It?



Store-

Store Clerk says: Everyone seems to be buying the same amount of everything as they usually do. Paper and soda sales are the same as they?ve always been.



Coal mine-

Coal Miner says: We have had to make more coal lately. I don?t know why.



Power plant-

Power Plant Operator says: We have had to increase our coal burning lately. We?ve had make power for can factory more because it needs 95% more energy than it used to need.



Can Factory-

Can Factory Worker says: I?m new here. I just heard we have to make original cans from a new material and not aluminum. It took less energy the other way. I don?t know why we can?t get any of that stuff.



Bauxite mine-

Bauxite Miner says: They have needed a lot more from us to make new cans, so we need to mine more bauxite. I guess the people need more soda.



Gas station-

Gas Station Attendant says: There has been more gas needed lately. The miners need a lot of gas too for their equipment and to haul it to the factories and plants. There was a big truck here the other day. It had a bunch of smelly stuff in it.



Oil rigs-

Oil Driller says: We have had to drill more oil for the gas station. I don?t know why. The pesticide factory needs some too.



School-

Schoolboy says: Have you found out yet who hurt this poor fish? Well, tell me when you do. Here is something I need recycled.



Farm-

Farmer says: I have been using more pesticide, but I?ve needed to in order to stop the pests. There is a lot more of them recently. There are less spiders and frogs to get them.

Forest-

Logger says: I have been cutting down more trees. That?s what the paper factory wants. The spiders, frogs, birds, squirrels, raccoons, deer, and foxes have had less space so there aren?t as many of them.



Paper factory-

Paper Factory Worker says: We are just meeting the increased demand for paper from the store I guess.



Landfill-

Garbageman says: We have gotten a lot more garbage lately. Lots of paper and soda cans.





Recycling factory-
