wood and metal. Waste is stuff we throw into the garbage because we do not want to use it no more. It’s stinky and filling up the landfill sites. We are littering and polluting the land‚ water and the air we breathe. It’s just too easy to throw papers and other stuff you don’t need on the ground. Too much garbage hurts our environment and the animals. When the landfills are full‚ where are we going to put all that garbage?! We don’t want it in our backyard! Instead of recycling‚ we throw most of our

step to reduce the waste we generate. The less use of our natural resources and the more use of our recycled products protects us from more air pollution‚ water pollution‚ and also saves energy. Reusing what we have not only saves resources but also landfill spaces. Making the change from plastic to paper or even carrying our own bags into the store is easy and also saves thousands pounds of floating debris from entering the ocean. Everything can be reused to make something new just like taking our old

Other high-risk group include population living close to a waste dump and those‚ whose water supply has become contaminated either due to waste dumping or leakage from landfill sites. Uncollected solid waste also increases risk of injury‚ and infection. In particular‚ organic domestic waste poses a serious threat‚ since they ferment‚ creating conditions favourable to the survival and growth of microbial pathogens. Direct

What can we do to Stop Global Warming? Climate change may be a big problem‚ but there are many little things we can do to make a difference. If we try‚ most of us can do our part to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the atmosphere. Many greenhouse gases come from things we do every day. As we have learned‚ these greenhouse gases trap energy in the atmosphere and make the Earth warmer. Some of these gasses occur naturally while others are caused by humans. The most common of

that disposing of electronic equipment by traditional methods—such as dumping in landfills—is harmful to the environment. It is intuitive to people that placing large items that will never completely break down in landfills is a wasteful use of land‚ but the reasons for special treatment of electronic waste go beyond that. Electronics contain hazardous materials that can harm the planet if placed untreated in landfills. Also‚ many electronic devices contain valuable materials that can be reused‚ thereby

and mining. A sanitary landfill is the most common method of disposal of solid waste by compacting it and burying it under a shallow layer of soil. The location of a sanitary landfill must take into account the geology of the area‚ soil drainage properties‚ the proximity of surface waters and wetlands‚ and distance from population centers. Despite design features such as high-density plastic liners and leachate collection systems‚ most sanitary landfills have the potential to contaminate

DISPOSAL OF NON-BIODEGRADABLE THINGS IN AN ECO-FRIENDLY MANNER Non Biodegradable Waste? Non biodegradable waste is waste that cannot be broken down naturally either by air‚ climate‚ moisture or soil. This kind of waste cannot be naturally dissolved into the land. Some of the most common non biodegradable products are plastic bags and bottles‚ tin cans and even computer hardware.
