Garbology Report

For many years now humans have been deceived that cow’s milk will provide many health benefits.

Inside the container were several empty plastic bags, additional plastic bags with a white crystal like substance inside, plastic bags containing multiple prescription medication pills, a digital scale, and a glass smoking pipe. Lying on the floor next to the bed in the back bedroom was a tupperware container containing a green leaf like substance with the smell coming from it consistent with the smell associated with

Garbology has a connection in my life in a way that no one can understand. Humes, started out his book by telling stories of hoarders and how they never got the opportunity they needed to improve on their life and start fresh. In

Food waste is an environmental, economic, and ethical problem that can lead to less calorie intake and unnecessary damage of our assets. Individual behavior can redesign food waste at home and lead to bigger changes in the ecosystem. The problem is Americans throw out more food than glass, paper, and plastic. Also about 25% of food grown, processed, and transported in the US will never be consumed. When food is disposed in a landfill it rots and becomes a significant source of methane— a potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.

Looking at the Impacts of Food Waste, In general by wasting food that’s mean we are wasting our money but in different way. . At the same time it is impacting us financially it’s also playing a huge role in the problems we see happening to our environment. The US Environment Protection Agency said, “Generating food waste has significant economic as well as environmental consequences. Whether you’re an individual, family, or business, chances are a considerable portion of your budget goes towards buying food — either for you, your family, or your customers. And since we now throw away more food than anything else, that means we are throwing away a lot of our money.” (“Basics,” par. 2) They went on to say that wasting food does more than impact our economy; it also impacts our environmental severely. We need to look at other countries and see what they’re doing with their food waste mistakes and do them same in our country the

Throughout our lives we have been told that milk is good for our body and helps to toughen our bones. Drinking milk started when people domesticated animals for food, which happened around 7500 years ago in the central Balkans and central Europe. By that time consuming milk was not as common as it is today. It was only farmers in some specific regions that were using cow’s milk. Milk’s market grew the mass production of meat in the 15th century. Afterwards in the 17th century, the idea of eating out and going to restaurants was born and fast food industries, started using animal’s meat for producing their meals. The rate of milk users grew with the rate of meat users and milk’s market got bigger and bigger every day. Mothers

The finial chapter of Garbology starts out like just as almost all of the previous chapters where Humes focuses on one individual except this chapter is different because the topic of this chapter is Bea Johnson who is not a like most of the others. Bea Johnson and how she had no for the amount idea how much stuff she actually had until her family moved from a large house into a small apartment. When she and her family moved they had much more respect for how much waste they actually had and they realized that in a smaller sitting they where able to keep there house much more cleanly, more organized. Humes talked about how the word NO has so much power, and is the key to getting to near zero waste lifestyle. This is something that is hard for

The pickers work amongst garbage and filth. The pickers might have gotten used to it but it was hazardous to their health. They were exposed to rotten food and garbage. When the pickers went through the garbage looking for recyclables, their hands became dirty and a lot of bacteria must have gotten on them. Their clothes were filthy and unclean; they could have been exposed to diseases. Vik and everyone who worked on the film exposed themselves to these conditions. Suelem once said that she sometimes ate food that she found within the garbage; this is threatening to her health since she could sick at any time she eats it. The food she ate could have been expired or infected. The film exposed the extensive poverty that exists in Brazil. Suelem paid $8 in rent a week to live in a small room that had rats run around at times; she did not have a sink to wash her hands or her teeth. Suelem’s children and her mother lived in a small home without a mattress of suitable use and the house did not have a completely functioning bathroom. Her children walked around with almost no clothes on; they did not wear shoes and were walking amongst dirt. The difference between the pickers’ homes and Vik’s home and studio in Brooklyn is

Garbology can be beneficial when studying the waste of a certain group of people. I studied the trash of two different Indiana State students; the first was an environmentally aware student that lives off campus, while the second was a student who has no environmental concern. First, I asked them to complete a survey on their use of waste from Global Footprint Network, this would calculate how much land area their lifestyle will take to support, and helped me determine how environmental aware they were of their actions. Then, I asked each group to collect all trash they use during the entire week (other than certain unsanitary

The results in this lab showed that suspect 2 was a match for the DNA found at the crime scene. This was determined by DNA fingerprinting. In this lab, the samples of DNA from two suspects and the DNA from the crime scene were cut with two different restriction enzymes and then the DNA was run through gel electrophoresis. The different restriction enzymes cut the DNA in different places, so when the DNA was run through the gel, the gel showed two fragments for each sample based on their size. The fragments shown are known as bands of DNA. These bands of DNA for each suspect were analyzed and compared with the bands of the DNA from the crime scene. The bands of DNA were compared based on the distance they traveled through the gel from the wells.

Breastfeeding is not only a lifestyle choice but also an important health care choice. Any amount of time that a mother can do it will help both her and the baby. Many benefits of breast milk are noted for mothers, babies, and others. Breast milk has disease-fighting cells called antibodies that help protect infants from germs, illness, and even SIDS. Infant formula cannot match the perfect chemical composition of human milk, specifically the cells, hormones, and antibodies that fight disease. The private practice of lactation

Because of all the healthy components to breast milk, there is significant research showing that children who are breastfed have reduction in diseases, healthier bodies and mouths, and long-term health benefits as well.

In our homes waste caused because we don’t pay attention; we are inattentive and ignorant. For some of us, it just isn’t important. (Jones, Dive!)

This is because in this perfect amount of milk, there are tons of protein, carbohydrates, probiotics, healthy fats, and antibodies. All of these and more work together to help the immune system more easily fight off infections and prevent diseases. Such are ear infections, diabetes, asthma, respiratory infections and digestive issues. These benefits start from infancy and continue into adulthood.

This analysis provides a historical context to investigate domestic occurrences and customary behaviors in western culture during the 18th century. Through the study of the daily chores and hygiene practices of people during this time, I will gain an in-depth understanding of practices, which developed over time, serving as the foundation of our culture in present day. The purpose is to gain in-depth understanding related to gender expectations, responsibilities, social class, health care customs and personal upkeep within a domestic culture are the focus. Finding will determine complexities in the nature of the lives of those who managed these dwellings, by studying preserved artifacts, journals, and documented practices from the 1700's.
