Last Field Trip

In my environmental science class, we went to the last field trip. I thought we were only eating eel but we went to the thrash center where they trash all the trashes that came from family. It was great experience for me to see all of them and how it works. First I heard that about 60 tons of the trashes come everyday and they have to mix it well so that it can easily burn.
 This is when we were learning about how it works.
 This is where they control the machines.
 This is how they mix the trash into the pieces so that it can burn well.


 This is the monitoring of the burning stuff.







This is when we were watching the mixing the trashes.

In my environmental science class we learned about the photosynthesis. This rose was found near the front door of our school. It was growing near the trash disposal machines. They seem to be entangled to the fences, and all of them seem to have red or pink-colored flowers.

I wondered, first, whether it was planted by someone or it was natural. Then I wondered if it were to be natural, why did they plant it near where they dispose of trash? Last, I wondered what makes some flowers red and some flowers pink?

I think I could find answers on the coloration of flowers in my old Biology textbook, as it talks about phenotypes. I could also ask about the roses to the guard near the front door, whether someone planted it or not, and if it were, why was it planted there. I didn't really learn much from the roses, but I learned that roses have weak stems, therefore need some support to grow, such as fences.
