Recycling And Recycling Essay

I believe there should be laws on recycling and composting, that even communities should be put to practice a routine to make the environment a better place.It will take time, effort and money but it can be done if the laws are stricter and if everyone has at least a bit of knowledge of the negative effects.There is so many problems like littering, unnecessary trash being thrown away that cause excess damage to landfills, not recycling and even another effect that involves trash is dumping in the ocean, that is one of the most concerns that stays in my mind and never leaves. In my opinion, setting a goal will work because it will take the time and effort, then at the end people and organizations will notice change and how far they have progressed.One goal to be done is non-necessary trash being thrown away in the wrong places for extra landfill. No one thinks when throwing away trash and how harmful it can be, it requires an extra amount of work and it isn 't easy. Just like in "Going Green for Gatesburg", if no one does anything then landfills will shut down. This is where recycling and composting is a good benefit which …show more content…
It is a completely disapointing problem because there is a huge amount of wildlife living there and it is damaging to see the ocean creatures suffer. Im not sure why it is done, is it because there is not enough space in landfills? Or maybe people think it wont hurt the animals and think they wouldn 't mind having cans or harmful things injuring them? People do not see it but it is a problem. Things like that can cause a beach to be unsafe to swim at. A good solution to this that can somewhat help is having life guards become more strict of what goes inside the ocean. They shall stop those that carry objects that belong in the trash and even give tickets out if witness something like dumping trash occur. Patrolling the beach is a good idea as well to help wildlife out just a bit

    Most of what we buy has already been recycled. Micromanaging how we dispose of our trash is not the answer. We are already burdened with events going on in our daily lives. Why make it worse? Privacy is a right that should not be violated to track how much trash we dispose and of what.…

    I believe we should have more organizations to help deal with this problem. This is a growing problem with the ocean’s becoming full of discarded trash. It is estimated that there is about 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic and other pieces of trash floating around the top of the ocean. Researchers estimated that about ten percent of garbage goes into the ocean every year. This is a major problem that needs to be controlled somehow.…

    We take the beaches and ocean for granted, using it as a dump site when we are too lazy to do the right thing by the environment. People do not think before they do, resulting in many horrendous outcomes on the space around them. A large area of water between California and Hawaii was cleaned of all rubbish, showing shocking weight results of six times more plastic than plankton [Santa Barbara News, 2007]. Considering that plastic does not decompose, it would be left in the water, posing a threat on the innocent and unknowing sea creature around it.…

    As landfills pile higher and higher, the entire earth is hurt by the pollution let out by the stacks upon stacks of garbage. There is a way to reduce the piles of used garbage bags full of rotten food, though; composting. A school of two-hundred students produces three-thousand pounds of waste from their cafeteria each year, over half of which can be recycled, greatly reducing how much garbage goes into landfills. Composting should be required in schools. It costs very little, can give students a great learning opportunity, and helps the environment.…

    Trash in our community is a huge problem not only for us, but for the animals in our oceans. To begin, plastic toxins can enter the human food chain and drastically hurt humans and the way their bodies work. “toxins can enter the human food chain through eating seafood and can cause harmful substances to enter the body such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. These toxins are linked directly to cancers, birth defects, immune system problems, childhood developmental issues” (Andrews). Most, if not all toxins are very harmful to the human body, and if you were to consume these toxins, the chances of something going wrong is almost slim to nothing.…

    Seventy percent of garbage ends up sinking to the bottom of the ocean and ends up damaging the ocean floor. Imagine if Professor Zamilla dumps seventy percent of her garbage into your home. Soon, it will begin piling and piling up, until you are forced to move out of your home, or end up dying in the rubbish. Most of us have been to either a lake or a beach. You remember seeing the waves crashing onto the shore, little kids screaming and making sand castles, and smelling the salty ocean air.…

    An example where trash has been going into ocean is in an article named New Plastic Garbage Patch Found in The South Pacific Could Be 1.5 Times Larger Than Texas. In this article, a person they call captain Charles Moore discovered a polluted patch of plastic about 1.5 times larger than Texas and two times larger than California(Mosbergen). In an article that came from Time talked about how plastics been going into our oceans and researches did calculations that say 5 to 13 million metric tons of plastic went into the ocean in the year 2010 and most of it came from the people who lived 30 miles away from the coast(Here's How Much Plastic Ends Up In the World's Oceans | Time. Com). I think this is terrible because many sea creatures that comes among this waste has a big chance of getting caught with something in the water that can cause the sea creature to die or to get…

    There was a survey in 2005 that said 98 percent of Seattle households participate in the curbside recycling program, and that only 16 minutes are spent recycling in each household. What are those 16 minutes spent doing? Sorting, extracting, rinsing, bundling, and stomping. These are easy things that everyone can do, if you get more people in your house to help it could go by even faster. People are used to not recycling because they have never been forced to, but if everyone put recycling into their daily routine it would be a habit and not a…

    Recycling is a good idea. Forcing citizens to be charged of not recycling right and having to pay extra for the garbage bins is more like stealing our money. No I don't think we recycle enough but, making it a law and forcing us to do it is not how you go along with things. Think about the citizens who are low on income, the ones who struggle to feed their kids. How would they be able to pay for those unnecessary bins?…

    There is one planet that is inhabitable, so as humans we should do everything in our power to make the Earth sustainable. As many think recycling promises a brighter future for our planet, they are quite frankly being deceived. We are more likely to drive ourselves into the ground by funding recycling than to just leave the garbage to, quite literally, rot in its own filth. To some people recycling is just a lost cause, but to many others’ it has wedged its way into becoming a part of his or her lifestyle.…
