The Clean Water Act has had many effects. One of the effects was the people of Michigan being able to see through 16 ft. of water, in Lake Muskegon, after the first modern recycling system was created to eliminate point discharges into the lake. The waste water management system piped the water from the lake, to an inland site where they stored, treated, and used the water to irrigate and fertilize crops (Sheaffer, pg.45). Making Lake Muskegon a good example of how effective the Clean Water Act…

Bottled water is taking up way to much space here in America. Wherever I go, I see bottled water, and I bet you every one I have seen went straight in the trash. America wastes all sorts of other products just to make a bottle that is most likely used for one day then tossed into the trash for good. Although we can save all this time, money and other products from being wasted by recycling, America chooses not to further the recycling process. Which leaves us at destroying the environment by…

Americans throw away 40% of all food produced in a year. This waste would only be justified if no Americans lived in food-insecure households, which is far from the case. The photo of the homeless man searching among mountains of wasted food personifies this problem. Just as a holocaust survivor puts a face with a tragic event, this image gives the viewer a different perspective of food waste. Instead of only seeing statistics on the unfed homeless, this photo embodies desperation and confusion.…
