College Students Should Be Given Information On Composting

To begin, one reason why we should conserve is because almost everywhere in Sioux City has trash somewhere. We could work together and make a program that will help clean up Sioux City. This makes us only a couple steps away from reaching our goals. Not only would it clean Sioux City but also it would teach parents/students the reason why it is important to recycle/conserve. I know that as of right now we have bins everywhere over Sioux City. However, I am noticing that many people do not use these recycling

Eighner has written an article called “On Dumpster Diving” were he talks about the life of dumpster diving and about all the valuable things people throw away. In his article, he mentions college student and all the things they throw out. Mainly how they throw out fresh food and things they just don’t need anymore. Many college students do tend to throw out fresh food when the semester is about to end or when they are going on break, they also throw away things they don’t want their parents to see. Eighner makes his points reasonable when he talks about college students and the items they throw away, but it seems like he was being a bit harsh on his points, making college students seem selfish and like if they only go to college to act wild.

Pollution is an issue that could potentially cause damage and recycling conveys an important role. An issue we currently phase is trash segregation, students aren’t recycling or separating trash as they should. As mentioned earlier, mindset is just as important as action - they have careless, ignorant mentalities. What my project proposes, are two main part the action and the mentality transformation. The action idea is to develop as community service recicle trashcans with that from the outside look the same as what its entering in them, an example could be a trash can full that physically look like a plastic bottle, so students only troth there there plastic

Have you ever walked around a school campus just minutes after the lunch break? Well if you have, you may have observed the absurd amount of wasted food spilling out of trash cans and scattered around the concrete floors. It makes you realize how much food we waste daily, and how preventable that is. With that, it is mandatory that Mills High School should be required to have composting and more recycling bins around campus, this would be beneficial to our planet and the upcoming generations.

From that “. . . cheese with a spot of mold” to that “. . . half jar of peanut butter” (64). Furthermore, I think that if people read this essay they may realize that some of the stuff they call trash is actually not trash at all. This essay personally made me become more thankful that I don’t have to dumpster dive just to be able to eat. Likewise, I began to understand that I and others “throw away perfectly good stuff” that really shouldn’t be in the trash (64). By making an effort to reduce my waste, I will reduce my ecological footprint on the earth and ultimately leave more resources for further

An excuse that many people have involves composting, “ I would love to compost, but it will just get in the way.” When an individual or group uses a compost it is a barrel or bin. Individuals can start composting by simply getting a bin and putting it somewhere that no one can see, that way it’s not “in the way.” As a matter of fact, groups or organizations can also use composts. People simply put leaves, grass clippings, or certain food into the compost bin, and after a few days, or weeks it turns into fertilizer. Organizations can do this so they can save money on landscaping when they already have the materials for themselves. For example, churches can have a compost bin, and the food that is left over from, say their fellowship dinner they can put in there. They could put leaves that fall from their trees, or even grass clippings from mowing into the compost so they have fertilizer for their garden beds, or flowers. Composting can replenish the

Many things that all biodegradable and up in landfills the things that take years to decompose. Such as plastic, glass, metals! etc. This problem can be solved by me, with help, using $1000. When people throw away certain things, they don't know that many of those items are organic matter that can be decomposed. When you gather these organic and biodegradable items into a band, they decompose. This is called composting. The mixture inside the bin is called compost.this compost can be used as fertilizer and can help condition land. Things like fresh grass clippings, flowers, vegetable and fruit feelings such as potatoes and orange peelings, vegetable crop residue such as potatoes and tomato plants, herbivore manure, such as horse, cow, and rabbit,

The institution does a fabulous job on making sure they have recyclables in one area and garbage in another area. Franklin and Marshall College lacks on instructing students on what goes where in regards to recycling and composting. Making signs more visible on campus for students to easily read and instructing them to appropriate trash cans for certain items. Creating an information session during orientation for all 1st year students and transfer students on “How to make F&M Go Green” could benefit the college in educating students on being more aware of resources they

First, I think that we should be composting for area school and all around use. But some would disagree around having composting in the school.There are different reasons why we should have those types of things in grade school, middle school and even high school. It could help with making this easier on everyone and not always having waist time on each day and this could also me could just being use just being in the house hold and your having to be a stay home mother and cooking a lot of food for family and friend all around the place. I will being going to tell different things on how thing would save time and also people would that this would be wrong.

I personally feel that we have been conditioned and trained since elementary school to pick up our own trash. We already have table washers at lunch and if we spill anything we go get a mop and wipe it up. If we add an extra 15 minutes a day doing these simple things that we already do, it’s just a waste of instructional time lost in the day. These 15 minutes really add up

My third reason for believing something should be done about the trash on campus is that trash can cause very unhealthy environments, especially in schools. My first source was the survey I sent out. Two of five people said that trash can pollute environments and carry germs. I think this is very bad! This means that trash doesn't pollute one environment, it can pollute most of the environments around it! My second source for trash polluting environments was www.ducksters.com. This site said that “land pollution can be one of the most visible types of pollution. You see trash outside of buildings or on the side of the road (that part made me think about the trash on campus). You may see a large landfill or dump. This type of land pollution

So all the pieces of the puzzle exist, but they need to be put together, and Spring Arbor needs to do so in order to set an example for students and the world. The moral obligations have been implied throughout this paper and should be rather obvious, but by dealing with its waste in a responsible way that does not end up in a landfill, Spring Arbor is caring for the earth. Also, in order to promote a counter-cultural, “sticker” generation, Spring Arbor needs to show students how they can invest in the place that they are in, as opposed to the cultural “boomer” that strips a place of its natural resources and then moves on once he or she is able to make the move upward (Baker, 2015). Also, while administrators may be worried about the profitability of a composting program, they should remember that SAU is a

The downside of using community day as a solution is that kids are not reliable. As Paola Passafaro claims, “attitudes might play some role in affecting such kind of behavior,” she understands that there is much more to littering than a conscious decision (16). As a professor of social and developmental psychology Passafaro understands the difference between “active littering” and “passive littering” (16) because our behavior reflects such thought processes. When applied to the problem, the school within the neighborhood is Eisenhower Middle School. Kids at this age, between 10 and 13, like to believe that they have lives that are more important than the environment. Thus, if put to work in the program their results would be counter productive

recycling campaign. The only way to do that is to help make recycling appeal to more of the vast student population that currently attends our University. How might this be done? The University already places a recycling bin in every dorm room around the campus; anything more would exceed the current funding for the recycling project. Perhaps the institution of a recycling center at the Russell House could cause the impulse to become a habit. But, that would take too much money--with the salaries of workers and the annexing of what would amount to a new wing of the building--to consider for too long. Another solution could be to have the students elect a "recycling committee" to evaluate the problem and decide on the appropriate solution. However, I feel that with the current lull in our recycling campaign, even that would be ineffective. As an altrenative to these two solutions I propose that we, as students and faculty united, institute a plan that is so simple it is already in place in many of the high schools around the state. I propose a system of rewards.

As an avid gardener and as someone who is conscientious of my environment, I purchased a compost bin several years ago. I have an abundance of yard and lawn clippings that I am not willing to dump into our already stressed landfills. In turn, my efforts for composting benefit me greatly because I can use this finished material to improve my soil texture, the soil's ability to hold water, and as a fertilizer.
