Garbage disposal

Tuesday, December 15, 2015 was cold and gloomy. It was the day of my macroeconomics and microeconomics final. It was also the day I checked into urgent care at Good Samaritan Hospital.

The Industrialization Revolution was an exciting time of invention and economic development in the United States. During this time, jobs that were done by skilled labors were replaced by more cost-effective machines. While this was a tremendous benefit for a company’s efficiency and profitability, it negatively impacted the people that made up the labor force in America. Skilled craftsmen who were previously respected and paid according to skill were now just another employee on the assembly…

accumulate. The high growth of population in India directly relates to their issues with waste. The quality of life is greatly depressed by the overflow of garbage and lack of waste management implemented by their country. It was stated that while they have waste bins in their communities, they are rarely emptied. When they are tended to, the garbage is then dumped out on the edges of towns, left to accumulate (Jeffrey, 2015). The constant growth of major cities leads to inevitable merging…

Our six cities were established in the islands surrounding Crisp Central, where conditions of the cities can be met without issue. Because of Crisp Central’s varying geographical features and supply of resources in certain locations, they were placed in different areas: Five in the surrounding islands, and one on the mainland.

raises the question of where to dispose of them. Batteries are meant to be recycled, but without a label stating otherwise, batteries are commonly thrown in the garbage. For example, in California, there were approximately five-hundred million batteries sold in 2001, but less than one percent was recycled. This is not the proper disposal method, and can cause significant repercussions in the future. This is because most batteries contain carcinogens such as cadmium and nickel, which are lethal…
