Coherent Waste Research Paper

Improved Essays
This paper has discussed the coherent waste problems with the emphasis on non recyclable plastics that our modern society is currently dealing with. The only way that she can successfully begin to solve this problem is to educate our communities and make them aware of of difference that they can make. This type of education process has to begin at school. We have begun this process in the lower level schools with educating students on how to recycle, but we have yet to explain them why we recycle. This is why we need an education program that will teach this valuable lesson. The program that will be implemented is a sustainable city project. That is a part of leadership programs such as Boys /Girls State or GRC type programs. The social cognitive theory would best describe this program for the reason that in these types of settings, students tend to pay more attention and want to impress their peers with the information that they are able to gather and share. This will drive the students to do the best that they can.
The goal of this program is to teach students that they are responsible for the evironment around them. In this process, they will learn how to responsibly use and take care of natural resources. They will also learn how to take care of the surrounding ecosystem. They will learn about the different

    Biodegradable waste like yard waste can be collected in a large land field and decomposed using modern facilities and used to manufacture compost which can be sold to farmers for planting. This implies that biodegradable waste can be recycled for other uses unlike non-biodegradable waste like plastics. On this note, Bill Nye advocates for the use of more biodegradable products and recycling of non-biodegradable waste so that the environment is saved from pollution. The non-biodegradable wastes liked papers and plastic bottles can be done away with by reducing, reusing and recycling them as the video states. The non-biodegradable should be dumped in a central place like bins in cities where they are collected in huge garbage trucks which transport them to recycling facilities.…

    This class combined the practical experience of going on field trips to places such as Blue Spring State Park and Lyonia Preserve with weekly collaborative writing and editing sessions. My final portfolio had well over 100 pages, integrating the field notes I took through close observation of the flora and fauna of Florida, research on each species, and the numerous drafts of each paper. Through the peer editing weekly sessions, I learned interdependency skills that mirror how nature works, and developed a better appreciation of nature, my own life, and how our actions can negatively affect the environment. Moreover, I learned a valuable lesson that shaped me into an even better advocate and future law student: if you use your skills and are receptive to what a client or the environment communicates to you, you will learn more than you could ever hope for than by simply relying on books and an abstract, theoretical…

    Today 's current society is filled with individuals that exploit the environment. This focus on industrial actions creates a society that is separates nature from humans. With this separation, it is always incredibly satisfying to be involved with groups that are so dedicated to conserving lands for species to use. The project that I was so fortunate to work with was the MPG Ranch. This project allowed me to experience the actions of conservationists from a firsthand perspective in order to see for myself the value of humans with the environment.…

    Over the course of the semester, we have discussed the negative consequences resulting from the way we, as a society, dispose of our garbage. Most of our trash generally ends up in landfills where harmful chemicals are washed off exposing surrounding areas to harmful pollutants which are then able to cause extensive damage to both the environment and the species which inhabit the area. This method of waste disposal, while convenient for both major businesses and individual civilians alike, has already proven detrimental to the planet and its many species, and has called for a change in the way we manage and dispose of these toxic materials. “Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things,” answers that call by providing a number of feasible solutions and changes we can make, not only how we discard our trash, but also how we can avoid the need to create any more.…

    Our society has the huge problem of not taking advantage and not benefitting from the dumps wasting with a great valuable deal of them. Lars Eighner makes me reconsider my wasting behavior and makes me think about how much we are losing useful dumps. We consume the dumps as waste instead of recycling them and making benefit of it. In addition, a lot of money could be saved through recycling. For example, factories could save a huge amount of money on manufacturing papers, toilet rolls, and cans by recycling them again and again.…

    In the article "A place to Encounter Natural and Social Diversity," from Childhood in the Garden written by John Nimmo and Beth Hallett, took me in the world of gardening. "The garden is a familiar place tamed by humans to serve social purpose such as growing food," (Nimmo, & Hallett. 2008 pg32) with that concept in mind the "Growing a Green Generation" project began. The project was to engage infants through kindergarten in the natural world, and offer the opportunity to learn skills and concepts of gardening. The article described endless opportunities for kids, a place to play and explore, safe risk taking, building relationships and understanding diversity.…

    The way we neglect our ocean with heavy amounts of pollution can potentially affect our lives in a negative manner. Driving cars and the use of plastic is essential to our daily lives, but we use them without the concern for how they are affecting the habitats on Earth. Some people think that the chance that they are doing harm to the ocean is less important to them than cost or inconvenience of fixing a pollution problem. Through sources from researchers and scientists, they have found evidence of pollution caused by the two essential commodities in our lives, plastic and burning fossil fuels. Environmentalists have found solutions to reduce the plastic waste in our ocean as well as attempting to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere…

    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.…
