Baraka showed women and children in Calcutta, India, rummaging through landfills to attempt to find recyclables to make a profit on (Baraka- A Nonverbal Film). These people are doing this because it is what it takes to be able to put food on the table, or a temporary roof over their heads. It is not safe or sanitary work, one can only imagine the incredible amounts of bacteria and disease that live and grow inside a landfill, which these people are being exposed to.

reuse them, one person can considerably reduce the amount of trash that goes into landfills and thereby, reduces one’s carbon footprint. Recycle can reduce garbage by reusing plastic bags, bottles, papers or glass. For instance, when we buy foods, we can use our own containers instead of using plastic bags.

been in 800,000 years! As for the others, methane, whose levels in the atmosphere have doubled since 1750, is released during energy extraction operations and rice production, by livestock as a metabolic waste product and when organic matter in landfills decompose. Nitrous oxide, up by 20% since 1750, is a by-product of feedlots, chemical manufacturing plants, auto emissions, and synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and tropospheric ozone, which has increased 36%, comes about when automobile exhaust…

Since only 9% of plastic is properly recycled, the majority of plastic waste either “accumulates in landfills” or gets dumped into the ocean and other natural environments (Parker, L., 2017). There are multiple reasons why plastic ends up in the ocean. Some examples include, people do not properly recycle plastic, small plastic particles go down sink drains, and it is cheaper for companies to dump all of their…

companies like to have things at a discounted price so that the new season of clothes will come in.
