out of every eleven dollars that an American spends on food items goes to packaging. Americans go through 25 billion plastic bottles every year. If one out of every ten bottles used by Americans was recycled we’d keep 200 million pounds out of landfills every year. If Americans used refillable bottles you can only imagine how much energy and plastic would be saved for use in other forms of manufacturing. Plastic bottles aren’t the only

To determine the aesthetic value of a river‚ there are several parameters that we need to observe. Firstly‚ look at the transparency of the river water. Transparency is the measure of the depth of light that can penetrate into the water (What is water transparency?‚ n.d.). It depends on the amount of particle scattering in the water‚ such as algae and sediment. The lower the turbidity of the water (the higher the transparency)‚ the higher the aesthetic value of the river. High turbidity of water
