SEAS: Student Experiments At Sea

Chico's adventures

Chapter 3: Dealing with the trash, and more

There follows a 2-column table. The first column contains a picture. The second contains descriptive text.

Chico by a trash can

Stomach ache cured, Chico returns to the galley to finish up his work. His last job here involves taking care of the trash.

At sea, there are no garbage trucks so on the ship we process our own trash. Everyone separates out their trash into biodegradable and non-biodegradable piles.

All biodegradable items are eventually put into the sea (really, it's okay: it's biodegradable) and other items are burned.
