News Report: Students Clean up Waterfront
Last week, high school students won a contest. The reason the students were in a the contest, was because they were participating in a Earth Day event.

Students from Erindale Secondary were participating in a clean up Nature Contest. The school that collected the most garbage would receive $ 3000. The students who were eager to win, went to Erindale park to clean up garbage along the credit river.

It was early last week that this contest took place. Over 40 other schools were involved in the event. How the event worked was each school was to pick a local location and clean up as much garbage as possible. The students collected the garbage in plastic bags. At the end of the day all garbage collected was brought to te school and collected by the Nature comity.

The later on that week the comity told Erindale that they had collected the most garbage. "Im glad the students spent their time doing something good for the community." Principle Wayne was overheard saying.

The school was awarded their prize in the school cafeteria by the Nature Comity. "It's good now that the school has extra money to spend." Mr.Sam one of the teachers was herd saying.

The comity hope that by introducing this contest more school will participate in simular events.

    Before this fieldtrip to Lee County Solid Waste Facility, I lacked knowledge regarding the fate of our trash. My idea of a waste facility went along the lines of a big dump site or landfill; contrarily, I am familiar with what items are deemed recyclable in Lee County. My experience at the Lee County Solid Waste Facility, operated by Covanta, showed me how garbage has the potential to provide electrical power to over 250,000 homes. Waste to Energy is a primary example of how America can become more sustainable and produce less heaping landfills. Carrying around a trash bag made me conscientious of how much trash I accumulated.…

    Today, policy makers and waste management companies have been trying to find new ways to reduce the amount of waste entering the landfills because we are rapidly running out of space for such use. In 2000, U.S. residents and businesses produced more than 221 million tons of waste, which is approximately 4.5 pounds of waste per person per day. However, the amount of waste sent to landfills in 2000 was down 13% from the 1990 total, and the amount of waste recovered in recycling has nearly doubled during the same period (ASCE, 2005). Instead of building more landfills, there is a need to focus on methods such as recycling to keep waste out of landfills. Recycling can be more effective and less costly in every way. Landfills are sources of natural hazards which have risks both to the environment and human health.…

    This project helps me to understand what the real world is all about and what is going on with it. I first thought that I lived in a luxurious place with all of God’s creations, but we are not aware of how we destroy our own treasures. Just like the problem in Brgy. Diego Silang, Butuan City which is improper waste disposal. It made me think, why do people not segregate their garbage even though there are policies regarding that problem?…
