Food waste

The biggest landfill has 1,500 trucks delivering 12,000 tons of garbage a day. This landfill is in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The amount of waste that this landfill is currently holding is around 3.7 million tons. That amount of trash covers 700 acres and towers almost 500 feet tall ("Puente Hills..."). Smaller landfills are also becoming overused. Smaller towns do not have as much of land to…

Mazotos ship disappeared on the way from Akko to Athens containing vines and goods. At last, there was a video on how the archaeologists and divers work. This is an expensive project, so many volunteers are needed. Also, there is no diving time could waste since it was 45m under water and need to stay there around 20 minutes. Overall, it was hard work for this underwater shipwreck archaeology…

age. Carrying around the bag of trash for this assignment, I realized that most of what I throw away consists of food wrappers, paper products, and plastic McAlisters cups. I did not keep any of the hygene items in the bag, but I do have a significant amount of those that I use. I recycle as much as possible from water bottles to cardboard boxes to cans. One thing I consumed a lot was food wrappers from granola bars. I play club volleyball and we happened to have an away tournament this past…

understood by most people. 75% of Americans admitted to littering in the past year (King, 2013). The math comes out to be roughly 242,797,500 people that have thrown a piece of trash on the ground. This waste accumulates over time. The top two most common things littered are cigarette butts, and fast food packages. Smokers don’t think throwing their cigarette butt out the window or dropping it on the ground is littering, but it counts for 50% of items littered (King, 2013). The trash disposed…

Many people think that they can't make a difference but even small things like recycling, reducing waste, and reusing products can make a huge impact on our world. In the 1970’s, citizens like us started to call stronger laws to protect clean water. This led to a big project known as The Clean Water Act. In many areas where wildlife has disappeared returned…

My First Mission Trip To Nogales Mexico At eleven years old I remember being in our SUV with my parents and five sisters for about three hours, heading south through the hot Arizona desert and crossing the border between Arizona and Nogales, Mexico. We were going to visit an area called Tira Viche and help the people living there. This place is where all the trash from the city is disposed, and recycled by people. When I say, “recycled by people” I literally mean it. The people there, both…

She then talks about other reasons like how plastic bottles have been shown to harm animals. The tops of plastic bottles are not recyclable. These tops usually end up in landfills or in the ocean. In the ocean some marine life mistake these caps for food and end up eating them. The animals digestive system cannot digest this plastic and they end up dying from it getting stuck in them.Plastic bottles require huge amounts of fossil fuel to make and to transport them to places. It also takes a lot…

There is an amount of a plastic waste that is the size of this rooms that is being thrown in the ocean every minute of every hour of every day. I chose this topic because of the scale of this problem and the speed this problem is growing with. It is a global problem that affects the ocean plants & creatures that live there. So I’ve made a research to tell you about this issue. (Weule) Besides the significant damage it cause to the environment and fauna it affects us directly as well. Today…

pollutants. Litter consists of trash that can crucially affect our environment. Whether small or large, trash can have dramatic effects to our environment and animals that people need to realize. Humans sometimes carelessly throw away trash such as food wrappers, cigars, and plastic bottles in an animal’s habitat could end an animal’s life. The poisonous chemical, nicotine, cigarettes release can last an animal just a day because of the dangerous substance that can have a threatening ending.…

I picked the social norm that people take away their water bottle, popcorn corn boxes or boxes people use when eating food or snacks at any types of shows or sport events. I picked this social norm because many people believe that it is rude to not to take away their trashes after a show, and I agree with this belief. However, there are numbers of people who do not follow this social norm, we can simply see them after a certain event for example: after every University of Arizona football home…
