Enduring Understanding

Entendimiento duradero

Entendimento duradouro

  • ​​Plastic is a synthetic material, which means that it is not naturally occurring.
  • The raw ingredients used to make plastics are fossil fuels.
  • Fossil fuels were created by decaying plants and animals being exposed to heat and pressure over 300 millions of years - long before dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
  • Some common fossil fuels are coal, oil, natural gas and petroleum.
  • Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource, which means that once they are consumed they cannot be replaced.
  • Fossil fuels are not biodegradable. This means that the plastic is not broken down into smaller pieces of materials that are usable by organisms. Pretty much every piece of plastic that has been made is still on the planet.
  • Plastic is not truly recyclable. A recyclable material (ex. glass and metal) can be reformed infinitely into high quality materials with the same properties as the original material. Plastic is downcyclable, which means it can only be reformed once and then after that the material is trash.
  • El plástico es un material sintético, lo que significa que no se produce de forma natural.
  • Los ingredientes crudos utilizados para fabricar plásticos son combustibles fósiles.
  • Los combustibles fósiles fueron creados al descomponer plantas y animales expuestos al calor y la presión durante más de 300 millones de años, mucho antes de que los dinosaurios vagaran por la Tierra.
  • Algunos combustibles fósiles comunes son el carbón, el petróleo, el gas natural y el petróleo.
  • Los combustibles fósiles son un recurso no renovable, lo que significa que una vez que se consumen no pueden ser reemplazados.
  • Los combustibles fósiles no son biodegradables. Esto significa que el plástico no se descompone en piezas más pequeñas de materiales utilizables por los organismos. Casi todas las piezas de plástico que se han fabricado todavía están en el planeta.
  • El plástico no es realmente reciclable. Un material reciclable (por ejemplo, vidrio y metal) se puede reformar infinitamente en materiales de alta calidad con las mismas propiedades que el material original. El plástico es reciclable, lo que significa que solo se puede reformar una vez y luego el material es basura.
  • O plástico é um material sintético, o que significa que não ocorre naturalmente.
  • Os ingredientes usados para fazer plásticos são combustíveis fósseis.
  • Os combustíveis fósseis foram criados por plantas em decomposição e animais sendo expostos ao calor e à pressão ao longo de 300 milhões de anos - muito antes de os dinossauros vagarem pela Terra.
  • Alguns combustíveis fósseis comuns são carvão, petróleo, gás natural e petróleo.
  • Os combustíveis fósseis são um recurso não renovável, o que significa que, uma vez consumidos, não podem ser substituídos.
  • Os combustíveis fósseis não são biodegradáveis. Isso significa que o plástico não é dividido em pedaços menores de materiais que são utilizáveis pelos organismos. Praticamente todos os pedaços de plástico que foram feitos ainda estão no planeta.
  • O plástico não é verdadeiramente reciclável. Um material reciclável (ex. Vidro e metal) pode ser reformado infinitamente em materiais de alta qualidade com as mesmas propriedades do material original. O plástico é descentrável, o que significa que só pode ser reformado uma vez e depois disso o material é lixo.
