Future City Narrative : Welcome For Green Liberty !

According to some experts and their investigations such as McCabe (2016), there are some possible and effective alternatives or solutions to this current problem. In terms of reducing the environmental impact, a ‘circular economy’ should be applied, transforming food remains and garbage into biofuel, bioenergy, fertiliser or biogas, using an anaerobic digestion technology called ‘co-digestion’, as well as thermal recovery

“It is hard to focus when you are worried about getting knocked out by ceiling tiles,” said student Keith Ogua.”

Paper recycling, on the other hand has been around for much longer. Pulp and paper plants in Canada have been using recycled material for more than 60 years (Bourdages, 1993, para. 4). One of the most obvious environmental benefits of using recycled paper materials, is that it will help to reduce the amount of trees being cut down for production of new paper. Overall, it is evident that there is an established recycling effort in Canada, featuring both positive and negative aspects.

In Junkyard Planet by Adam Minter, in chapter 1: Making Soup, the author talks about how and where our trash ends up at. The author visits the Walmart-sized space Waste Management facility located in South Texas, which he describes as Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. He talks about how the conveyor belts separate the trash like papers, plastic bottles, cans, etc. Minter then talks about how all that trash ends up in countries like China for money. China buys our trash and uses it to produce new products from it, which they later sell it for money. Minter also mentioned why poor people are better at recycling compared to rich people. Junkyard Planet is an eye-opening and inspiring text for people including me who do not

Plus Mango Tango will set a goal of RECYCLABLES MANAGED, NUMBER OF WILDLIFE HABITAT PROGRAM, WASTE-BASED ENERGY PRODUCTION, NUMBER OF ACRES PROTECTED, FLEET EMISSIONS. But as you can see Mango Tango mayor and workers take their job serious from finding out the problem and finding a solution. Our future city has also zero problems with “waste

The idea of getting our city to be perfect will be no easy task. We would build advanced garbage systems, and they would be the most advanced in the world. There will be no landfills anywhere to be seen in our city. Also a bonus for our city is that when you throw away garbage it won’t smell. It will smell like absolutely nothing. Now no one will have to gag or plug their noses when they throw their trash away. We would use drones to pick up our trash and bring them to our area where the trash would be put, and it would be great.

Worldwide we are seeing a devastation of our forests due to paper production. Consumption of wood products has risen 64% since 1961. Globally, pulp for paper, has risen from 40% in 1998, to an expected 60% over the next 50 years. The industry expects that demand to double by 2050. The U.S. consumes 200,000,000 tons of wood products annually, increasing by 4% every year. U.S. paper producers consume 1 billion trees each year (735 pounds of paper for every American). U.S. at 5% of world population consumes 30% of world’s paper. Only 5% of virgin forests remain in the U.S.

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,

I think the United States can also build biophilic cities and integrate more nature into urban design and urban planning. Building biophilic cities is of great important for cities, residents, and the nature. Unsustainable urban sprawl damages open space and disturbs the function of the nature. Biophilic cities help us solve many environmental problems, such as climate change, air pollution, and decreasing biodiversity. For example, if we integrate more nature into the urban fabric, there will be more trees, animals, and rivers in cities. The urban heat island effect can be relieved and more air pollutants can be absorbed by trees. Rivers can help solve increasing floods and droughts.

Our residents have trash bins that they load their trash into then they put it out in front of their house on a certain day of the week. Then we have trash men that

A sustainable city is when harmony is reached between the environment, economy and society. Environmentally, sustainable cities are ecologically friendly by using alternative sources of energy such as solar or wind power. Economically, governments should share a similar decision-making process with institutions and with the public by having a common belief in what should be done by improving sustainability. Sorensen, Marcotullio, and Grant (2004), find that a good decision making process consists of planning and control at the municipal and national political levels which would allow local level functions to become reinforced. Socially, sustainable cities are classless, meaning that there are no social divisions which serve as limits; leading to a more equal society. One of the many ideas would be using mixed housing to remove the class divisions between people. Also, city streets would be walkable, with businesses and services located at close proximity to promote a healthier lifestyle and serve as an alternative to using cars for transportation. The writers differ in their analysis when examining the approaches to improving sustainability in cities. This section will analyze four important ideas on how cities can become more sustainable.

and more garbage will go to landfills until they all get filled up. If that happens, where will the

There are some reasons for the problem. The first reason is that the effects of the thrown rubbish are very dangerous and extremely harmful. According to Miller (1987), global industrial organizations produce over 80,000 different chemicals (para. 5). Basically, garbage is old, dirty and wet, so that it is a perfect place for bacteria and other viruses to stay in. Rubbish growth in cities has been a problem all over the world for centuries. Landfills have always been regarded as sources of illnesses and unpleasant smells. The harmful wastes from the garbage spread through the ground from paint, chemicals, petrol, batteries, and other toxic materials that have been thrown away into the garbage. The toxic chemicals get into the water pipes and spread through the people’s drinking water. Another reason of that problem is that people have created all these disasters, which are connected with environmental pollution. The more modern technologies are created, the more unbelievable become wastes and remains of what is produced. From this, man is responsible for what he or she created and for the following consequences. Anxieties about the environment have made people more aware of their environmental footprints or the kind of waste they leave behind during their existence. The difficulty is that an average person leaves an incredible amount of wastes in his or her lifetime. According to Lovejoy (1912), all biodegradable substances, contained in

My main concern about waste disposal is toward poverty. In every society, for it to work effectively the waste disposal has to be handled properly. The lack of proper waste disposal can contribute for the underdevelopment of the community. For instance, in poorer community that does not have resources to dispose of the trash properly create a series of problems. For example, when there are a lot of trashes in a community, it will prevent investors to invest in a community, the housing market, schools and stores will decline, in consequence the houses will loose its value. This will create a ripple effect because people will start immigrating toward a better place where it is much cleaner. Families will try to move to a better place where their kids can have a better future. I ask myself who wants to live in a dirty environment? I hope nobody. That’s why I believe that the government should help the poorest communities about the ways to handle waste disposal, and better educate them about recycling.
