As CEO of a small manufacturing company, if an employee has dumped toxic waste in a nearby stream, I would seek help from the hazardous waste supervisor within the company first. The supervisor should be knowledgeable enough to get the situation under control. Toxic waste is a serious safety and health problem and it is my job as CEO to prevent any further danger to the work environment and the surrounding area. While getting assistance from within, I would call both the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as state departments of environmental protection.

The American people can be easily swayed into buying whatever they are told, and throwing away anything it replaces. This fatal flaw in society is proved by Vance Packard in his book “The Waste Makers”. He tells how corporations tricked the American public into living a wasteful life where they use something once and throw it away. A concept that had previously been unconceivable, but now was the way of living. He also proves how people had succumbed to buying things for convenience alone and nothing more. These companies did anything in their power to trick the consumer and improve their profit margins. Sometimes to their own dismay they would over sell their products and hurt themselves. Then immediately trick the public into believing another lie. Packard’s findings on the wastefulness of the American economy is irrefutable and unequivocal.

She’s sitting in a cold and dark room looking outside. If the world knew about the consequences of their actions, she would have a different view. The impact of new technology and lack of proper waste management has been drastic on our home planet, planet Earth. Technology has been evolving greatly, and as technology has been evolving, another issue has arisen, the lack of proper waste disposal. Improper waste disposal is when items which belong in a certain area, are incorrectly being disposed of. For example, a plastic water bottle being thrown out in the garbage instead of the recycling. Advancements in technology and improper waste disposal both have harmful causes on the Earth, negatively impact human health, and cause an effect on the economy.

The modern-day issue of pollution is no exaggeration. To put things into perspective, the WHO has estimated that, in 2012 alone, an estimated 12.6 million people died from living or working in unhealthy environments, riddled with air and trash pollution alike—accounting for 1 in 4 of all deaths in total, killing more people yearly than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. And adding salt to the wounds, society’s most vulnerable members—the children, the poor, and the elderly—are impacted the most. They are the ones who suffer most from the chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, lung cancers, infectious diseases, and water contaminations brought upon the world by air and trash pollution. The purpose behind this project is to innovatively purify the planet's air through the use of trash, serving as both a private and public air cleaner to maximize its utility. Its design criteria include five ideals: the ultimate device must be predominantly sourced from trash, effective in its purification function, portable for travel, and easy to operate. In addition, four “Cleansing Chambers” housing the filter layers (three with different types of fine filtration layer and one control with no fine filter). A four-criterion aggregate score (with a maximum of 12) has been designed to gauge the overall efficacy of the device, including the filtration efficiency, smoke and odor removal, outputted airflow, and affordability (scores given by rank 0-3 each; 0=worst, 3=best).

Consideration shall be given to options that have higher waste reduction than the alternatives (if economical to do so).

Hazardous waste considered as an undesirable substance which characterized by ignitable, infectious, corrosion, explosion and toxicity(Environmental Protection and Heritage Council, 2010).

What are the dilemmas with Waste or Urbanization and Farming? Before we can begin to discuss this topic we first must look into the impact of waste and waste management, but more importantly what types of waste we produce. Most people really do not care about the environment until it impacts them or their family directly. How many times have you been driving down the road and watch someone throw trash out the window. Think about what you thought at that very moment. Now that you have the right mindset let’s look into what waste we produce.

When I first went to the university, I knew nothing about environmental science but as I became familiar with the program it became more and more exciting. The complexity of the course and discovering that everything in the world is related to the environment was very fascinating to me. I further did a master degree in sustainable development with specialties in environment and natural resources management. My thesis was on waste management especially medical waste management. That is where I became more interested to study environment and health, patients go into the hospital with less illness and come back with bigger health issues. scavengers mostly children are exposed to contaminated syringes and cloths and are of high risk of been infected by HIV and Hepatitis B. This is due to improper waste management in these hospitals. I thought to myself if only this aspect of medical waste can be this harmful to the health of the population what about other aspects of the Environment. How will they affect the health of the population? It became clear to me that I should study more about the environment and our health and how I can help to reduce untimely deaths in my community and country.
