Introduction
When asked about environmental concerns, I would venture that my fourth grade gifted students' response would be centered on endangered animals, global warming, and pollution. They would not think about their own health or their immediate environment as it seems so nice. Why? Well, they live in a nice part of town where landscapers keep the green space groomed, their families don't smoke, and the garbage man picks up all of their trash and takes it away. We have a recycling program at our school and we dutifully recycle our plastic bottles, aluminum, and paper. In their minds, our impact on the environment is nominal. But, what happens to our trash?
