How to Save Our Environment

We have one Earth and we need to protect it. We have been ignoring the consequences of pollution for too long. We produce over a billion pounds of waste and 40 billion metric tons of human-made CO2 pollution a year. I work well with others and I plan to use that skill in my career as well. I plan to work with environmental scientist, engineers, and others who have a similar passion about protecting our environment as myself.

Recycling is a very essential and crucial process in our world today. The term recycling means that waste can be converted into new products instead of being discarded. As the population continues to grow, humans are using more and more products. In order to reduce the amount of waste on planet Earth, and to preserve its resources, recycling is significant. Not only does recycling allow the environment to thrive, but it also allows living people to thrive as well. There are many materials that can be recycled. Plastics, electronics, aluminum, food and glass are only but a few products that can be recycled. Recycling can benefit our environment in numerous amount of ways. However, without recycling, negative impacts on our environment can occur. Some of these effects include pollution whether it is air, land or sea, depletion of natural resources and even an increase threat to global warming. Therefore, recycling is extremely important to sustain our environment.

Many people do not live ecofriendly lives or find protecting the environment to be important.

In class, we have discussed that there is a constant battle of protecting the environment, but also wanting

Recycling is the process in which materials, that are no longer needed, are remanufactured making new products in order to prevent wastage of useful material and also to reduce pollution, landfill, greenhouse gases and energy usage.

Recycling is when you convert waste into reusable material. This is like when you drink, or eat something out of a can. That can after you put it in the recycling bin, soon will be brought

Audience Relevance: Recycling is something most people choose to ignore. Recycling helps the world by reusing trash to make new products. As a result, this helps reduce the amount of trash that rot in landfills and pollution.

With these possibilities comes choices. No matter what the circumstance is, there is always a choice. The question then comes down to, will we make the right choice. When it comes to the environment, people seem to make choices that reap in our benefit. “To realize these aspirations, we must decide to live with a sense of universal responsibility, identifying ourselves with the whole Earth community as well as our local communities” (The Earth Charter, 2016). People don’t realize our actions effect more than just us as humans. There are several other mammals, amphibians, reptiles, etc. that live among us. Earth has a give and take relationship. If we give to the Earth it will take care of us and its inhabitants if we take care of it. However, if we take from Earth, and essentially destroy it, it will destroy us. According to the World Health Organization, “it has been estimated that more than 12.5 million people died due to their exposure to an unhealthy environment worldwide, accounting for 25% of the total global deaths in 2012.” This is much like the case studies found in Ecoliterate. There is one case in particular about a father who watches as his daughter crawls towards him on their front patio. A moment that is supposed to be filled with joy quickly turns to anger when he picks her up and notices she is covered in coal dust. This dust came from the coal mining that is happening just down the road. As the child grows older she is

Along with my love for the environment came a pain in watching it suffer around the world as human development encroached onto once untouched regions. I felt powerless and desperate to somehow use my individual influence, no matter how small, to slow the damage to the planet and lessen the impact a growing population was having as we dive deeper for resources.

People need to understand that the environment is everybody’s responsibility. We need to take accountability for providing a green future for future generations. We must act before its too late. We must sacrifice, compromise, and be willing to

What are we doing to our environment? This is a question many people have asked but never quite been able to answer in the fullest way. How do we find out the answer then you ask? By multiple sources. There’s the ‘scare’ tactic, saying what could happen in the future if we don’t change our ways. There’s the ‘inspirational’ tactic which spreads the word of all good that we can, should, or maybe even have done to our environment. And last but not least, the ‘fiction transformation’ tactic which turns something that we would read ourselves or maybe to our children to open up our eyes of what’s going on. Why is this important to even know? Many different ‘eco enthusiasts’ express their research on the environment, this general tactic is called ecocriticism. Ecocriticism is where authors analyze texts that embellish environmental concerns and study the various

Increased recycling means less trash entering landfills. The greatest environmental benefit of recycling is the use of energy and natural resources when old materials are used to make new products. Many consider recycling an easy task. Products that become garbage have an effect on global warming, which makes recycling as a viable option. The phrase ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ was coined to promote recycling and a clean environment. Recycling is a simple way in which people can contribute to making a better world. It takes time and effort to collect, separate and send trash away. Recycling effects every aspect of our environment—homes, schools and hospitals.

We should promote the conservation of our ecologies by reducing the amount of waste that goes directly into the environment and promoting green thinking and living all across the world. For instance, we could protect our environment by reducing the amount of cattle that feed in a certain area and by prohibiting the introduction of alien-invasive species as they deplete minerals and food in the soil for other plants to consume.

These days, our earth has been filled by a lot of waste. There is a lot of garbage, plastic waste, and electronic waste. We always produce it and dump it when we need the new one. Our waste are piling up and continuously accumulating. Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems for us now. And our solution in this problem is recycling. In my opinion, recycling is a way to manage used items into new products. We can reduce, reuse, and recycling (3R) waste management (Peter, 2013). We can reduce our waste clothes with reuse it. There are some reasons why peoples recycle used or unwanted items, which are, prevent wasting unusable materials that still have usage after recycled, reduce the application of raw materials, reduce energy
