Silent Spring Rough Draft The Earth provides us with life and sustainability, and without keeping the environment clean, this structure could collapse. Humans pollute the air with car use and factory production, trash the land with garbage and uneaten food, spray harmful chemicals onto plants, and poison waters with trash and substances such as oil. In order to be able to be healthy, it is important to keep our environment clean and healthy for ourselves and the wildlife living in it. As stated…
Hong Kong of the Future Hong Kong has been a trade empire for thousands of years, the gate to the Pacific and the port of the world.

Too Much Talk, Not Enough Action Recycling is a push all around the world, especially in schools where people learn the true effects of the damage garbage is doing to the environment. In the Muhlenberg County School District in particular, the schools push recycling constantly, a few classrooms even have recycling bins set up. Eventually, these bins get filled, then what happens to the trash inside the bins? In early 2015 and some previous years, the recyclable materials went to the local…
This term, my group for the Eco Action project decided to undertake a garbage cleanup in hopes of making our targeted area garbage-free by the end of our three-month timespan. We decided to do our cleanup in Mystic Vale, a forest southeast of the University of Victoria’s campus. My group—which consisted of Cole, Matt and Jed—aimed to influence others by eliminating the garbage in the forest, which would make others less inclined to litter. Although we face many challenges throughout the term, in…
that can. All consumers care about is buying the stuff they want from the store, with no thought as to how it got there. Consumers want, want, want, but do not think about the future. Without recycling eventually things will run out,…
consulting are wasting valuable time and money that could be spent on more productive careers. As part of a solution, McKibbens argues that to get out of the perhaps irreparable situation that we are in, we ought to relearn old habits of reusing and recycling things we no longer need.

Hamilton City Council would have a positive perspective, as recycling increases the attractiveness of a city and also creates a healthier, more environmentally friendly place to live. On a wider scale, anyone who cares about the environment would be happy about the policy. There isn’t any area to gather information about how different people feel about it, but I cannot think of anyone who would object to it. Before I moved to an area where recycling is commonplace, I didn’t really think about…
Typically when asked about future occupations, kids don’t say “Waste Minimization Specialist?”. Why and when did you decide to become one? She originally was planning to become a teacher but since there was not a huge demand for teachers in Ontario, she never became one. Instead, what happened was that she applied for a job and this job was regarding the environment. So from there, right out of university, she began working in this field. What high school education/degrees do you need to become…
a Public Relations Officer of the EPA stated, “there is no need for people to be concerned; the situation is not as scary as the media is making it look like” (Oteng-Ababio). People of the communities are having to choose whether to work in the recycling services or be unemployed and affected by the health risks. If the landfills were properly constructed to hold waste, then perhaps this would not be a big problem, but the lack of engineering is to…
