RBSE Class 6 Science Chapter 16 Notes Garbage In, Garbage Out

→ The garbage has both useful and non-useful components.

→ If the garbage was found to rot completely and did not smell, mix it with the soil where they form manure which is used for the plants.

→ The blue bin is for materials that can be used again - such as plastics, metals and glass.

→ The green bins are for collecting kitchen and other plant and animal wastes.

→ Burning of husk, dried leaves and part of crop plants produces smoke and gases that are harmful to our health. These wastes could be converted into useful compost.

→ The method of preparing compost with the help of redworms is called vermicomposting.

→ Redworms do not have teeth. They have a structure called ‘gizzard’, which helps them in grinding their food.

→ Paper can be recycled to get useful products.

→ Some kind of plastics can be recycled, but, not all of them.

→ Consuming food packed in plastics bags could be harmful to our health.

→ All kind of plastics give out harmful gases, upon heating or burning. These gases may cause many health problems, including cancer in humans.

→ The most important point to know and think about is that more garbage we generate, more difficult it will be to get rid of it.
