Broward County: A Case Study

The current recycling program in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana is insufficient to meet the needs of the community. Many urban populations are taking advantage of technological innovations to maximize the effectiveness of recycling programs. One issue in Vermilion Parish is that there is an insufficient number of locations in which recyclables can be dropped off. Thus, even though the recycling industry in Vermilion Parish is well-established, the availability and feasibility for recycling opportunities is quite low to much of the population. The result is that the recycling program is relatively inefficient in Vermilion Parish. With an annual population growth of around 2% (Prakken & White, 2014), the need for increased recycling

Nassau County, Long Island is a suburban county, completely surrounded by two bodies of water, the Atlantic Ocean and the Long Island Sound. Our four season climate with humid summers and snowy winters is due to the fact that we are a coastal area. Up until the late 1940s, when there was an influx of people who relocated from New York City Nassau County mainly consisted of farmland. By the 1950s, numerous young adults had come to settle down here essentially because the houses were affordable, schools were top notch and it was just a wonderful place to live and raise a family. Many family owned businesses still remained at that time, although in recent years chain stores increasingly opened and forced these family owned businesses to close.

Sarasota County, Florida is located on the west coast of the Florida peninsula (Fig. 3) and has approximately 35 miles of shoreline and a low average elevation (~42 ft.). These physical characteristics make the county susceptible to coastal hazard inundation impacts, such as inland precipitation flooding and storm surge inundation, with ~45% of the county falling within the 100-year floodplain (Sarasota County 2015; Sarasota County and Commissioners 2016). The county has also experienced significant population growth within the last decade, experiencing approximately 16% population increase from 2000 to 2010 (Bureau 2010) and is highly developed along the coast due to the Urban Service Area (USA) delineation.

Just looking at local cities, the lack of recycling effort resident shows impacts drastically around the world. Imagine these local cities, plus thousands/millions more around the world, refusing on doing an ecological act of recycling and reusing materials. These acts might not look bad for one person, but if you sum all the people doing it around the world, it adds up to an enormous number. A lot of those people doing all those filthy acts often believe that global warming is fake and that if they don’t dispose an item properly, they assume that nothing will happen to the ecosystem. Also, the people around the world don’t see the bigger picture that by having a large home/mansion is slowly killing the environment. Why? Because the larger the house the more wood is required to build it, and use more quantity of other products that are not appropriate for the environment.
