Water Testing Connection

1) My group chose about the Nitrates in McDonald's food and products.
2) Our action project will be McDonald's vs. Burger King, about what the two restaurants do to recycle see which one can start to improve sooner. The point is that my partner, Nick Yerdan, who works at Burger King, and I, who works at McDonald's, are going to work by talking to our managers to try to change our restaurants and have recycling become a regular thing at these places. The first one who can get this started will extra credit in our Global Science class.
3) In my biobottle were testing the nitrates in McDonald's products and food. In my specific biobottle, I'm using a piece of plastic from a McDonald's large drink cup and using that as my product. Over the weeks were observing the affects that it has on my biobottle ecosystem. In the end we will see what each of our chosen items, for our biobottles, have done to our ecosystem.
4) Our river test that we did at MacArthur Park connects with our action plan because of recycling. Testing the river and finding pollutants and it affects our river water. Recycling can help clean our river, and that goes for our action project. To recycle in food restaurants is a step to start recycling in our community, so all that trash that you throw away that gets in our rivers could be from the restaurant, if we start the action project, the rivers will clean up and will help our community with a great deal.
