3. What is the natural resource used to make plastic/cardboard/fabric/rubber?
(Example: Glass is made from sand. Sand is the resource.)
4. Is the natural resource renewable or nonrenewable?
5. How much of that natural resource is used a year?*
6. How much water is used to make plastic/cardboard/fabric/rubber?*
7. How does getting/using/making/disposing of plastic/cardboard/fabric/rubber directly or indirectly contribute to the death/illness of living organisms)?*
* Requires numbers and a link to your resource.
8. “What's the solution?” (This is just a set up for your product.)

Notes
[1] Styrofoam is a type of plastic. [2] Cardboard is a type of paper. [3] There are two types of fabrics, natural and synthetic. Synthetic fabrics like polyester are made from plastic. [4] The term “effluent” means liquid waste/wastewater [5] One cubic meter of liquid (1 m³ or 1 m^3) is 1000L or 264 gallons. [6] Natural Rubber Latex, NRL, and Latex are the same thing, which are different from Natural Rubber. [7] Many things that are ‘rubber’ or ‘Natural Rubber’ are vulcanized (heat + sulfur) to become stronger and more durable (such as rubber bouncy balls, rubber mats, or rubber tires).
