Making Decisions: Packaging and the Environment

Each group needs a bag containing 3 packaged products from the areas of food, health or beauty aids, and some other product. Examples: boxed cookies, frozen pizza, deodorant, allergy medication, shoes, shampoo, detergent, CDs.

For the entire class to share: a few large examples of packaging, such as the boxes (and protective inside packaging, plastic bags, twist ties, instructions, etc.) that come with a new computer, TV or furniture.
