There are so many helpful things by recycling; by recycling you will save space in the landfill for something else that can not be recycled. You can use your food scraps for compost, along with your yard…
In this day and age, it is becoming more and more common to find recycling cans at your local restaurants and shopping malls. However, at ShopRite grocery stores there are none of these recycling cans to be found. It is alarming to see the amount of plastic bags, bottles, and papers that are simply thrown away without any thought into it. Every day when I am at work, I see countless amounts of plastic bags thrown away carelessly when in reality there…

Recycling isn't just a good for the environment, it's also a good for society. We can see these positive effects on society today. Recycled material comes at a lower cost than raw material taken from the…
Recycling has been a well known idea for so many years, but now we need it more than ever. Now in the world there are so many problems with the environment like Global Warming, toxic waste, and not to mention not recycling is very costly but recycling reduces the landfill space, helps conserves natural resources, and reduces the production of greenhouse gases . When you recycle you also help save animals so the rims of a six pack of soda doesn’t end up blocking a fish's gills or a plastic bag getting eaten by a turtle and having it choke on the bag. Recycling can also be a group effort where you get a group of people from your community, school, church, job, or just you and your friends so not only your saving the environment but your having fun with people you know while doing it.…
It may not seem like it, but recycling will help the air and weather too. Not just in Texas, but everywhere. In some places in Canada and the United States it is mandatory to recycle and separate you trash or you will get a citation for…
I feel like we should have recycling and composting initiatives. That way people can waste less and we can breathe a little easier. My reasoning for supporting this act are listed and detailed below.…
One reason everybody should recycle is animals are dying and starving. From garbage being everywhere. Acorrding to www.humanesocity.org they found birds poisined from lead weight. Also they found skunks with yogurt cups on their heads not being able to eat. Also pelicans had fishhooks in their stomachs. The worst that the have found was they found a raccoon with beer cans on its paws there was no fur, no skin, it's all flesh. Clearly almost everybody doesn't like to see animals suffer. That's why…
Earth’s radius is 3,959 miles around. 7 Billion humans live on these 3,959 miles. Among these 7 billion humans 8.7 million other species live. And out of these 8.7 million 100,000 go extinct each year. Out of the 7 billion humans 25,000 are killed in car accidents. 7 billion humans have created 75 trillion dollars. Of that 75 trillion dollars 11.5 billion dollars is being wasted every year. But what is killing off these animals? What is taking money away? What is causing these car accidents? It’s something you may think so simple. Littering. Littering affects every living thing on this planet from plants to animals. There are 8.7 million species on this planet but there is only one species that destroys its home. Humans destroy the earth, we destroy the earth.…
If the trash is continuity dumped in a landfill many miles away you just happen to forget about it, however people won’t forget if a landfill just happens to fall next to a home. Well with the growing amount of trash the amount of landfill space is growing smaller and smaller. A portion of the material is burned emitting harmful gasses to the surrounding land. The majority, however, is thrown into a landfill and forgotten. “Liquids that get thrown away will seep through the ground and could harm the soil.” (unknown). When the liquids are thrown away, they can seep into the ground and cause damage to the plants. When this damage is don’t to the plants it also affects the wildlife’s food. Under those circumstances, recycling would be much better for the environment and the…
In todays world it is common knowledge of the issues with recycling and pollution. However, there is a way to help slow down the process of over-running our earth. A new initiative is being spoken about, three trash cans for each method of recycling:compost, paper and plastic, and landfill. Other ways include recycling centers, projects for turning your no longer useable items into recycled treasures. I firmly believe in adopting and putting these into practice in our United States with only minor changes. We only have one earth so we have to take care of it.…
The waste on planet earth is becoming very overwhelming. With landfills filling up to the brink of an overload, we are running out of places to store our trash. There is legitamately no more room for myself to waste. I recycle all of my plastics and aluminums to do my part.…
Debated.”). To lower its volume, it is often condensed before disposal. It packs some 90% of the volume, but only 1% of the radioactivity of all radioactive waste. High-level waste is from the burning of uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor (Dixon). It contains the dividing products and trans elements generated in the reactor. It is highly radioactive and hot due to excess heat, so it requires shielding and cooling. It has thermal power and can be considered as the ash from burning uranium. The radioactive waste problem is not a new safety and health concern. It has been mixed with radioactive materials throughout the twentieth century (Dixon). Such concerns have existed almost from just the discovery of radioactivity in 1895, when a German physicist,…
Every year, more than 300 million tons of plastic is made, this poses as a threat when you take a look at how much of this plastic is only intended to be used once and thrown away. Throughout the entire planet, plastics are being used more often and are being thrown away rather than using the recycling bin. When you throw these plastics away, they are taken to a landfill which often times will bury the garbage underground; nevertheless, although you can no longer see the plastic waste, it is still taking a toll on our health. Burying these products creates issues with the ground water that we humans, as well as our pets and other animals, drink from. When the plastics are buried in landfills, they have the potential to leak harmful chemicals into the ground water. Not only do these plastics effect our ground water, but they often times will find their way to the ocean if the landfill is found near a beach. The trash that has found its way to an ocean can float for thousands of…
Between 1960 and 1986 the amount of American trash has grown 80% from 87.5mill tons to 157 tons per year, not including the 90 million tons created by industry every year. In 1988 over 70% of the landfills were closed, the US government then had to figure out how we were going to deal with this huge amount of trash each year. The 4 main solutions they came up with were opening more landfills, incineration, shipping out of the country, and oh yeah Recycling. Three out of these four were very bad, both ecologically and ethically. But the fourth one on the other hand was very good, it reduced energy use to make knew products, saved the wilderness by not dumping trash on it, and best of all created basically new products without almost any waist.…
