PowerPoint Challenge

Many communities require recycling of household waste.  Residents are required to separate paper, plastics, and glass and put each material in special bins or bags.  Electronic equipment also can be recycled.  Your community has developed a special program for broken or obsolete computers and peripherals, office equipment and products, small home appliances, and entertainment equipment.  These items include personal computers, printers, cell phones, toasters, televisions, DVD players, and video game consoles.  Community officials will be collecting these items during the next two Fridays at your local police station and a nearby shopping center.  They will not accept air conditioners, humidifiers, and hazardous wastes. 

Begin by creating a Slide Master.  Then, using the concepts presented and techniques presented in class, develop a PowerPoint presentation to show at various businesses and offices within your community.  Emphasize the importance of recycling both traditional recyclables and electronic equipment.  Include enough slides to successfully present all of the information in an effective way.
