Consider the graphs in Example 1, Exercise 1 and exercise 2 and respond the request below; a. What trend do you see with recycling in the US over the last 40 years? b. Do you feel this increase is acceptable or do you feel we should recycle more?

Consider the gap between the 2 lines of the graph from exercise 4 above. explain what this gap represents and then explain your interpretation pf whay this signifies.

b. More recent data from 2017, according to the Environmental Protection Agency indicates that the average person produces 4.51 pound of waste each day. Compare this to the data from the year 2007 in the table above. What does this tell you about the progress that is being made with regards to individual production of waste?

c. Hoe does the Generation Tonnage in the year 2017 compare to the Tonnage in the year 2007 from the table above(column #4)?

d. Each ton of waste occupies approximately 4 cubic yards of space . (to visualize 1 cubic yard, think of a box thay is 3 feet long, 3 feet wide and 3 feet tall). If the year 2007 produces 275,000,000 tons of waste, how many cubic yard were needed to dispose of that waste?

e. If one cubic year is equal to 27 cubic feet, approximately how many times can you fill the Houston Astrodome if you have 275,000,000 tons of waste?
