1. Read the text 'Paper or Plastic?', which you can find at the following link:

2. In a word processor, answer the questions:
What is the main branch of biology that studies the problem being addressed
in reading? Why?
R= The main branch of reading is Ecology. This branch is responsible for the
relationships between living beings and the environment. Its goal is to protect biodiversity
and the environment. Because it points out the importance that the environment is, already
that talks to us about the tough process of making plastic bags and
paper. Since it generates more pollution.
3. The previous problem is addressed from scientific thinking. Complete the
next table and indicate which characteristics it meets, which it does not, and why:

4. Mention three examples of how other people address the garbage problem.
disciplines. Within the text, you will recognize some elements, but you can
support from other sources (remember to include them).
1.- Ecology. It is the main topic that covers the environmental damage that
represents the garbage and the big problem it has in degrading, there are people who
opts to burn it to get rid of it without realizing that emitting
gases and particles that can substantially affect human health and the
climate change. Waste is considered one of the most environmental problems.
great figures of our society.
2.-Botany. The great consequence that they produce due to waste in the
soils, is one of the most serious environmental problems due to the
pollution that generates in the air, in the soil, and in the water affecting in a way
specifies the growth of plants.
3.-Marine biology. A topic too delicate since it is even more so.
pollution affects lakes, seas, rivers. It is uncontrollable and threatens with the
ecological adversity of these places is the cause of the increase every year
large production of waste that is thrown into the sea, etc. The large quantities
of garbage thrown into the sea such as plastic bags, waste these are
confused by food by marine beings, fish, birds, etc. Causing
serious injuries or death. Government organizations such as the UN
they have based laws to prevent the great powers of the world from continuing
polluting the oceans.
6. In a paragraph of at least 8 lines, answer the following question:
What similarities and differences do you find between the stance of the authors of the
two texts?
The similarities between the two texts are that both talk about the
The seriousness of pollution in the world and the importance of the environment

responsibly both for ourselves and for our planet and
living beings that inhabit it so as not to further affect our ecosystem, both
They propose measures to find methods that help solve the problem.
The difference they have is that the text paper or plastic writes as it is.

The text What Does Your Trash Say by Tite talks about how people burn their waste.
contaminating the soil, air, etc. It gives you advice on recycling, reusing and
to reduce and separate waste in order to avoid more pollution.
7. Conclude your activity by responding in half a page:
How do you think this problem affects your daily life?
Pollution affects us all from the air we breathe because in
The place where I live, most people burn trash to get rid of it.

Pollution increasingly harms our planet due to our ignorance. Today in
day is a topic that most of the population does not take seriously, so
some people do nothing to reduce this great problem since they do not
It should be like this, you should be more aware because if we continue like this with these
bad habits our planet will run out in the future.
