Waste containers

close friend. So this is another issue to be considered. People living in such a place, near a growing dump become negative in their feelings towards others. Not getting along with people is never good. When little kids see others throwing their waste everywhere, they start doing the same. That's so bad! Some people think: "Oh, look there's so much trash, what should I do with this empty bottle in my…

Global food waste has been a topic of concern and conversation both in the news and the financial departments of major food corporations. The USDA places the value of food thrown out in America at $161 billion yearly, which translates to more than one-quarter of total production. Much of this waste occurs during production and transportation. Recent advances in technology have sought to reverse this trend. Innovations aimed at reducing the amount of food being thrown out include smart…

Picture this, the 8th-grade students of Forest Park Middle School gather in the lunchroom lines as the `lunch ladies plop food on each students plate. The longer the clock ticks, the more food is gathered, and the more gathered will end up as always, in the garbage. Yep, you got it, it's wasted food According to NRDC, " almost 40 percent of the food today goes uneaten." 40 percent! That is almost half of the food! One example of wasted food ( not as big as that ) is Forest Park Middle School;…

Littering has become an issue in my community over the last several years. About 5 years ago, an alteraine recreational vehicle club was developed by my home and with it came an increase in traffic thus, an increase in littering. During windy days, litter can be seen blowing along the roadways and into yards along the roadway. Everyone has heard the slogan “Keep America Beautiful”, but I never really thought about what that meant until now, when I see the changes in my own community. Litter…

volleyball and we happened to have an away tournament this past weekend. I kept all my snack bar wrappers and realized that that made up a significant amount of my trash, proving to me that different lifestyles consume and then produce different amounts of waste.…

at this very moment. That black sludge in our oceans is oil that’s been spilled while it was trying to be extracted. Those deadly toxins in the air that we breathe come from fumes from power plants.That lethal water has been contaminated from the waste and spills from the toxic nuclear power plants that are all over the earth. All of this is the result of us needing energy. We drill into the ocean floor to get oil so we can drive our cars, we burn coal in power plants so…

Every day, the average person produces about 2kg of waste, and nearly 70% of waste found in rubbish bins can be recycled. You can help lower this percentage by simply reusing plastic bags or not using plastic bags at all, recycling your aluminium cans, composting your food waste…There are thousands of simple - and affordable - possibilities for recycling. Imagine just how much better it would be for the environment…

Submarine waste can range in many different aspects. Cardboard can be stored on board due to less weight; as for cans, they have to be added to the waste streams of the submarine. The combined compacted volume of food contaminated plastic and paper is less than 0.01 ft^3, which means this waste can be stored under the Annex V because of the eliminated storage. Submarines prefer to keep storage in food storage due to precautions to bypass contamination of unused supplies, which is needed for the…

Many people know that trash is a big problem on planet Earth. Trash has become a problem in outer space too. Tons of “space junk”are in orbit around the planet. There are more than 22,000 pieces of junk in space around the earth according to BBC news. And these are just the items that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes or radars. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see. Bits of old space rockets or satellites move around the planet at very high…

Littering is a big problem in the world, so big that 3.8 billion pounds of trash end up in the ocean every year. Littering is illegal, but the punishments don’t stop people from dropping that piece of trash instead of walking it over to the trash can. Littering happens everywhere, even in our national parks, polluting the air all over the world, and humans are the main factor. National parks are used for conservation and protecting land and animals, but they are slowly turning into landfills.…
