1 st EPAL of Drama Organic Food  In simple words, food that is grown or raised without chemical pesticides or chemical fertilizers is called "organic".  Foods that are labeled as "Organic" need to contain at least 95% organic ingredients, except for added salt and water. General information

1 st EPAL of Drama Biodegradable Plastics  Biodegradable plastics are made with biopolymers of hydroxyvalerate or hydroxybutyrate, but they are also produced in nature during biosynthesis.  Biodegradable means that they decompose under the enzymatic action of microorganisms: bacteria and fungi; therefore, they are not recyclable.  There are other types of biodegradable plastics that are a mixture of synthetic polymers obtained from starch (from potatoes, rice, corn) or cellulose. In these cases, just the natural components are decomposed in oxygen and water (aerobic) or water and methane (under anaerobic conditions), while the synthetic component is just broken in small amounts and it disappears into the ground.  Currently they are relatively expensive.

1 st EPAL of Drama Food research  As an activity for our Comenius project all participants decided to make a comparative research concerning organic food and biodegradable food packaging.  The survey took place on 150 students.  Here are the results for each country separately and all together.
