    Abstract: In this lab, we were introduced into the steps that the San Diego Water Treatment plant does to clean and filter that water that goes into millions of homes in San Diego. The purpose of this lab was to correctly follow the safety procedures that the San Diego Public Utilities Water and Wastewater plant have to follow so that we can raise our awareness of our own backyard, our own streets, our own oceans, and our own world. First, we created our own wastewater by mixing dried up coffee grounds, ground-up cereal and pet food, cut up plastic bags, baking soda, torn up toilet paper, vegetable oil, and ammonia into water. The end result looked like actual wastewater. We proceeded to do the primary, secondary, and advanced treatment steps to treat the wastewater.…

    The article “205 Easy Ways to Save the Earth” is written by Thomas L. Friedman. Friedman’s main point of this article is that there is no quick or easy solution to the climate change crisis. The whole going green trend is very popular in this day and age. Many people want the label as being a person who is helping our environment, someone who is making a difference in this over populated world. Little do they know that doing something as small as buying a flex fuel car is helping the environment in no way at all. Buying a car like this is doing exactly what the consumer wants; giving them a green image but making them do absolutely no work. Scientists are starting to see the big picture, we have got to take this climate change seriously and do something together as a society to make a change before this problem becomes irreversible. The author, Friedman, is a New York Times columnist that isn’t afraid to express his opinions and thoughts to the public, his outlook is that maybe his opinion will be able to impact the opinions of others and create a green movement that will actually impact the world. He presents the facts in a way that may persuade the reader to change their beliefs on these important issues. His intended audience is the educated public in schools as well as in companies, those who need to know the facts of what they can help prevent. Friedman presents a clear case at why people should reconsider their habits and views on what the mean of going green actually is.…

    Americans are very aware of the importance of “going green” as it reduces pollution and protects the earth from global warming. Going green generally includes recycling, buying environmentally-friendly products, energy efficient electronics, and living off the land. However, the reality is there are many obstacles to going green; the primary of which is cost effectiveness (Outka, 2012). The United States is currently in an economic crisis, and most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to pay their bills. Therefore, when faced with having to purchase an expensive item such as an appliance or automobile it is difficult to look beyond the price tag at the going green investment. While most citizens believe they are making a difference by recycling, the truth is a large percentage of our curbside recycling is either burned or sent to landfills because it has been contaminated due to ineffective recycling procedures, or it ends up traveling long distances, which increases the cost and air pollution (Kaiser, 2010). All of these facts prove that going green is not cost effective because the products are expensive and it take time (sometimes years) to see a savings or value, curb side recycling is wasteful, and recycling cost a substantial amount more than trash disposal.…

    People nowadays are getting into the “go green” lifestyle while others continue to live without thinking about the effects they have on the environment. Why do people go green? It can save you money, it is the right thing to do, it is healthier because there are less toxins and less illness, it is helping future generations, and it is a chance to connect with the local community and spread the word. To go along with this lifestyle and its benefits, catering companies are pushing to become more environmentally sustainable and have more local and organic food options.…
