    Discuss The Extent To Which Sustainability Can Be Achieved

    Waste management is all about the need to change our attitude to waste. The four methods of managing waste at the moment are: landfill, composting, recycling and energy recovery (incineration). To be sustainable, waste must be managed in a way that is maintainable for the foreseeable future and will not be hurtful to the environment or the population. Waste is a problem at the moment because the amount of waste we use is increasing and therefore so is toxicity along with the time that the rubbish is toxic for. We are also running out of landfill sites. Therefore, another method of waste management must be found that will solve these problems.…

    Jared Diamonds Book Collapse Analysis

    In this survey I asked a few basic questions on the matter of E-waste. Some of the questions that I asked were what doing you do with your old electronics. Do you what happens to your old electronic products. And finally I asked if they knew what E-waste was. The majority of people answered that for their old products they would give them to a friend, sell online, or throw away in the trash. For the following questions none of the people I surveyed knew what actually happened to their products but they could make the guess that E-waste was the discarding of old products, though they did not think it was harmful. After telling them some of the problems with throwing away their old devices they thought more on the subject then they did before. With getting a few more people to know about this subject hopefully they can tell more people about the problem at hand. Since none of the people I surveyed knew about this problem it is obvious that we need to get more people to know about it since we all use electronics. To help solve the problem on electronic waste we need to start taking…

Thankfully two very like minded individuals, Annie Leonard, and Chris Caroll dedicated their time to enlighten people into the unseen life cycle of our outdated house held tech, “e-waste.” In Leonard’s essay, “The Story of Stuff: Electronics,” and Caroll’s short film script “High Tech Trash,” the reader gets an in-depth understating of the tremendous impact the technological empire has on the environment, and the individuals involved in the circulation of their products.

    Waste In Canada

    As humanity develops new technology, the magnitude and severity of waste increases. When computers were developed, it widely was believed that the need for paper would be eliminated. On the contrary this was widely proven false and we are now utilizing more paper than ever. Canada is not an exception as the typical Canadian generates an average of three pounds of solid waste each day1. This alone shows what a careless species we have become- using and disposing materials without even considering the damage we are causing. With half a trillion tones of waste around the world, only 25% may be reused for a second or third time and less than 5% can be renewed limitlessly1. These facts are true only in developed countries. Since these traditional…
