Recycling

something in the world, it would be pollution. I would start off in my small town by pushing forward a recycling system, using technology in place of paper and pencil, and a community trash pick up. One thing I would do is put forward the idea of a recycling program. Recycling is a benefit to both the environment and humans. Students can positively affect the environment by recycling. Recycling reduces the amount of trash in landfills. Less trash in landfills means less polluted ground.…

lifespan. There are two standpoints in which to view this question. It is obviously successful on the likes of the environmental friendly method. However, they costs may become a huge liability for Patagonia in my view. For instance, the reusing and recycling methods all create costs that Patagonia have to absorb in order to benefit the initiative…

year’s R3 project. Last year when, I lived in the dorms, I noticed problems with recycling and trash being left all over the place. Moving forward to this year when I moved into my first off campus apartment, those problems were immediately brought to my awareness and I knew some things needed to change.

Throughout my high school career, an important experience for me has been being the president of the Young Environmentalist Society, Y.E.S. Club, at my school. My Junior year I heard about the club, but it was inactive around the school. Being a person passionate about the environment, it was important for me to get the club more involved and to make the school more environmentally aware. My interest in the environment led me to take the leadership role in the club of being president; I started…

In landfills, paper products would slowly decompose over time and would likely emit harmful pollutants such as methane, a greenhouse gas. Also, paper products take up a big part of landfill areas. The world is gradually trying to get people to recycling the majority of paper products they consume. For example, in Metro Vancouver, there is a policy that makes products such as recyclable paper, green waste, corrugated cardboards and other non-paper products since they can be recycled and/or reused…
