Do you not like what’s on your plate?  With the “Get rid of your food-inator” you can secretly push your food through the hatch and down the pipe, into the dog’s bowl without anyone knowing!

Excursion To The Local Recycling Centre June 2, 2009

Helena says: We went to Wanaka Wastebusters for “The Meeting of the Minds” last week. (“The Meeting of the Minds” is a chance for us to catch up with other gifted students from Central Otago). The team at Wanaka Wastebusters work very hard! I could not believe how much rubbish was there – I was especially amazed by the amount of technological rubbish (such as computers and printers). The team showed us the process of recycling all sorts of rubbish. (This was very interesting) and how a single unsquashed plastic bottle with its lid on can make a half tonne crate of compressed plastic explode!

Danielle wrote: "Here are the photos Jilly took while we were at the Wastebusters---looking into the considerations inventors need to have made to ensure their invention does not have a major negative impact on the environment. We also viewed some socalled worthless items and how they could become valuable to us if adaptations were made."
