A Food Waste Story, directed by a Canadian couple who sets out to determine how much of our food ends up wasted, and how our habits and ways determine what we buy, why we buy, and how long we keep it in our kitchen and fridges. The couple can only survive on food waste for six months, although they’re only allowed to eat what friends and family serve. Within the first minutes the film start to break down statistics of […]
Despite the fact that we produce more than enough food to feed the entire world population, why is that one in every nine people are starving around the world? The answer is simple we never learned not to waste food. It’s a shocking fact that a third of the world’s food is wasted each year. The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization […]

Get help with your assignmentFood waste for the past several years has spiraled upward; the United States Environmental Protection Agency recently stated that just the US trashes a whopping “133 billion pounds” almost every year. To put this in a easier perspective that’s the equivalent of about 15,647,058,823 gallons of milk when using the average weight of a gallon of milk. The wastage of our food is negatively impacting a variety of areas but the most affected area is the environment. The major negative […]
Have you ever wondered how much hazardous waste you produce and how much harm it can cause you? Well, let me tell you that each person in the US produces about 4 pounds of household hazardous waste every year. Multiply that number by the global population and you get a really massive number. In fact, just the US alone produces between 20.3 to 29.1 million tons of hazardous waste. Since the world is becoming more industrialized and the population keeps […]
The need for packaging was induced by the manufacturing process and is carried out separately. And at different times, along with the production and transportation of goods produced. The relationship between production And consumption has established itself in packaging. And the urbanized communities and the significance of this connection are growing. As people’s lifestyles have changed, the role of packaging has caused a change in the ecosystem (Rundh, 2009). The packaging industry is growing at a very fast pace. And […]
Research by Maintain America Beautiful, Inc., has actually discovered that people trash due to the fact that: They feel no sense of ownership, although locations such as parks as well as coastlines are public property. They believe someone elsea park upkeep or freeway employee will pick up after them. Motorists as well as pedestrians are typically criticized for litter. There are in fact 7 main resources: House trash handling and its positioning at the curb for collection. Trash is blown […]
“Friend, please don’t toss the waste on the ground. Dispose it in litter bin”. I stated it to my friend. She replied “What are the sweepers for anyway?”. I neglected to whatever she claimed. This is not just situation that I have actually seen. I have been advising every friend of mine to prevent littering but all I get to listen to is, “That cares? There is even more waste on ground, sweepers are below to clean the ground” or […]
Many people believe that climate change is a hoax. They do not know that this is a reality and it is happening right now. In recent years, there has constantly been something in the news about natural disasters happening around the world. These changes started during the “Industrial Revolution” because of man’s ambition for innovation in the world. They have not only changed the world but the climate and the environment. The issue with the new industry was the discovery […]
Trash, especially plastics, can be found across the world’s oceans because of its buoyancy and resilience (Erikson et al.). Because the plastic releases toxins into the environment, researchers have stressed that if they are found in the ocean, they should be treated as hazardous waste. The accumulation of plastic pollution can also be found in bays, gulfs, and seas that are heavily populated along their watersheds and coasts. The impact that plastic pollution has had on ocean animals and plants […]
Have you ever thought how much plastic you use a day? We produce roughly 300 million tons of plastic each year and more than half of it is disposable. Every induvial in Australia uses around 170 plastic bags per year. This means 150 million plastic bags end up as litter, only 3% of them are currently being recycle and 200,000 bags are dumped in landfill every hour. Our world needs to make a change in how things are done, when […]
Plundering of all earths precious resources have gotten, to the point where all that is left over garbage. Humans can’t inhabit the earth any longer and have instead taken to space by somehow getting through the debris cloud that surrounds the orbit of the earth where they are put into chairs and never get out to do anything for themselves. They allow the robots to completely take over all tasks that are now done by humans on a day to […]
North Carolina is home to many ecological problems, such as Pfiesteria, Urban Development, Waste Lagoons, Invasive Species, Dutch Elm Disease, Acid Rain, and Beach Erosion. All these issues are harmful to not only the environment, but to people as well. Humans have one big problem that leads to ecological issues, which is pollution. One of the most environmental threatening issues is Acid Rain. This issue is caused by the burning of fossil fuels in the Industrial Industry, which causes lingering air […]
Did you know that only 20% of plastic gets recycled? People never think about where their trash will end up as they’re throwing it away; but they should start to. That other 80% of plastic that’s not getting recycled is ending up on beaches and in the ocean. According to Scholastic, “at least 5 million tons of plastic ends up in the world’s oceans each year.” Plastic is prevalent in the world today. People eat and drink with it, play […]

I choose this topic because our planet is experiencing global warming and climate change at a rapid rate. Due to our consistent use and abuse of non renewable resources such as coal, natural gas, and oil. Although nuclear energy does create radioactive high level waste it is emission free and saves about 2.4 billion tons of carbon emissions. Our ecological footprint is 8.00 in global hectares per capita. The population of the United States is using twice the renewable natural […]
Nuclear energy, also known as atomic energy, is the powerful energy released by changes in the nucleus of atoms. A huge amount of energy is concentrated in the nucleus due to the extremely strong force that holds the nucleus together (Nuclear Energy 2017). The releasing of that energy stored in the nucleus creates large amount of heat which people have found many uses for, such as creating electricity, powering machinery, and advancing warfare. Nuclear Power Plants and Operations Within Them […]
Ethical Dilemmas of Production, Consumption and Disposal of Plastics The purpose of this paper is to bring to the center stage the numerous environmental problems that come along with the usage and disposal of plastic materials used in packaging, containing and shipping materials. Plastic, a non-corrosive, malleable, water proof, lightweight and mostly inexpensive is used to produce packaging materials in order to keep them protected from the elements and its surroundings during transit from point A to B. Though it […]
Abstract Plastic pollution is one of the largest issues facing the world’s oceans. Plastic, which is not degradable and remains in the environment for long periods of time, is frequently disposed of improperly. As a result, oceans are littered with fragments of plastic, nets, packaging, bottles, and debris that poses a serious threat on marine wildlife. In order to protect aquatic animals and habitats, it is important to not only properly dispose of and recycle plastic, but to develop and […]

In the last ten years, there have been many changes when it comes to recycling and different types of techniques of how to properly dispose of trash. There are many different types of landfills and recycling centers. Ten years ago, when humans would dispose of something that they were done with, it went in the trash and that was the end of it. On top of that, it was all filtering into the oceans and causing the animals to ingest […]
Abstract The Monterey Bay, situated on California’s central coast, is home to a plethora of marine animals, tourism and leisure activities. With a global demand for production of plastics, a great quantity of the earth is thriving with pollution. Ranging from our landfills, streams, rivers, and oceans, the remnants of plastics have been found anywhere human life prevails. This debris produced by people worldwide has imploded great amounts of damage to marine life and potential human health risks. Utilizing the […]
Water pollution is an issue covering the United States that is not taken seriously. Being that water is scarce, only three percent of our country’s water is freshwater, which has to be divided by hundreds of thousands of people. Even though water is a renewable resource, pollution makes the water toxic causing it to be useless. Contaminated water will not only harm us, it will damage our environment and multiple other resources we depend on to survive. Humans are the […]
There is no doubt that nature has given back to mankind. Everything individuals have anticipated that would continue was given by the ordinary world around us: food, water, medicine, materials for shelter, ect. Individuals, on the other hand, have caused issues that will keep on influencing the nature around us, for example, contamination through the improvement and advancement of technology. So, the real question is do we need nature or does nature need us, because as it seems that nature […]
Uganda has registered recent successes in rice production making it a potential rice basket for Eastern Africa (Africa Rice Center, 2013). The remarkable rice boom in Uganda is attributed to good farming practices, premium market prices, and favorable policies that have stimulated large private investment in the rice sector over the last few years. As a result, paddy production jumped from about 120,000 t in 2002 to more than 220,000 t in 2011 (Africa Rice Center, 2013). Rice husk (RH) […]
Introductiion Occasionally, there is an ice age, like the last ice age we had or even the one before. Was there any release of carbon dioxide from humans? No. Ever since the industrial revolution, global temperatures have climbed, but how many people owned cars and how many manufacturing factories were there burning fossil fuels in the industrial revolution? Through natural processes, like biotic organisms respirating, volcanism, etc. greenhouse gasses are created. Gases like nitrates and carbon dioxide are naturally released. […]
Introduction The United Kingdom’s former Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli (1867), once said that “change is inevitable, change is constant.” Although it is true for most of the time, we must agree that there are certain things that have not changed, even after many years. One of them is of course, pollution; a topic that has always been the talk of the town. Just recently, Star News (2018, November 15: 1) published an article regarding how crucial pollution is in Malaysia […]
The practice of recycling has brought a new awareness to society and the importance of the effects on the planet as we see what the careless dumping of trash into sewages and the ocean has done. Many ask why recycling is important, it’s simple, recycling reduces the amount of energy required to create new products. By practicing the act of recycling, we are cutting out unnecessary energy requirements for the mining of new raw materials and it serves as a […]
Our species has lived over two hundred thousand years on earth and in the past year we have created over 2.6 trillion pounds of garbage. That’s over eleven million Royal Caribbean cruise ships in weight. The largest cruise ships built to this day. We just throw away trash and never really think about where it goes. Most of us never see it. Most trash is sent to landfills where it is burned releasing methane and carbon dioxide, which makes up […]
