1. Biodegradable vs. Non-Biodegradable

2. Everything around us can be labeled as biodegradable or non-biodegradable.

3. BIODEGRADABLE These items are things that can easily break, dissolve and fade away in time. They are destroyed and dissembled by natural or biological elements, which include oxygen or air, ultraviolet light from the sun, and nitric acid that comes from the rain. Others also include microscopic elements or critters and soil.

4. Like soil and other microorganism or bacteria, they undergo natural process in a quick or slow time but definitely not a threat to the environment. Some of the wastes that decompose into soil are garden wastes, egg shells, and kitchen food scraps.

5. There are peels of banana, chicken bones and leaves are samples of biodegradable materials.

6. NON-BIODEGRADABLE Those are materials that cannot break down or dissolve for many years. Instead, they become useful once more that’s why we call them recyclable.

7. They are simply cannot be affected by natural process. They do not react and dissolve easily on the soil. Some of these items that are very common to use again at homes are aluminum cans, glasses, bottles, plastic products, metal scraps, grocery bags or other plastic bags, and even Styrofoam (polystyrene).

8. So, any wastes that are thrown in the garbage can be dumped in a recycling center or factor that can make them useful for other things.
