DECOMPOSING MATHS

We thought about how long it takes for things to decompose.
We worked out that if one baby used 4 disposal nappies a day that would be 28 nappies a week. There are 52 weeks in a year. On a calculator we worked out one baby would use 1456 nappies in a year.
Renee wondered what happens to all those nappies and what happens to the land.
We found out that they go to the landfill and get squashed into the ground. Yuck!
But one day it will turn into compost and trees will grow there.
