Post Consumer Waste

In France, 1813, lithography, a mechanical planographic process in which the printing and the nonprinting areas of the plate are at the same level, was popular. On April 1816, Niepce

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.

The Beginning of the End of Rome In 160 A.D, Rome stands supreme, the lone super power of the world, at the height of its power, the empire was large, stable, and relatively peaceful. The beginning of the empire was running out, the peace and prosperity lowered the empire into a dangerous compliancy. The age of military expansion, had given way and Rome’s enemies sensed its weakness, by 476 A.D, the western half of the Roman Empire, socially, military, and economy collapsed. When Caesar Augustus created the Roman Empire, it was one of the most powerful empires in the world. Caesar would not have guessed that within 500 years that his mighty empire would be destroyed.

If I were to choose one last place to eat, I would go to Mexico Viejo. Whenever there is a birthday in my family, we go out to eat at the birthday person’s place of choosing. I would always choose Mexico Viejo. Recently, I started working at Mexico Viejo and I really enjoy it. When I’m there, I feel as though I have a second home with the welcoming vibes.

To conclude, plastic is better than paper because it saves energy in production, is durable, can be recycled, and can be transformed into energy. I rest my

Offset Printing: This type of printing is commonly used for higher quantity (over 500 prints)

During the 1900s, Americans realized the amount of waste they produce and the damage that comes along with it. Average people see recycling as a simple process. Placing items such as glass, plastics, aluminum, and paper on their curb or dropping them off at recycling centers takes part of their weekly routine. However, many lack knowledge as to what happens to their products after this step. Intricate, but crucial, recycling helps improve our environment.

Surprisingly, there is another, more profound process paper has to go through, the manufacturing of the forest trees into chips, which is done in Pulp mills. The steps after the main pulpier, remove imperfections in the mixture, to remove oversize pieces of wood, and then to bleach the fibers to make the paper white. Bleaching is a hugely debated part of the process, involving chlorine or chlorine compounds, Chlorine has significant risk to our environment and humans, to illustrate how serious the health concerns are “Chlorine bleaching was used as a chemical weapon during World War I". (http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/em/chlorine.shtml)(2015) Additionally, Bleaching water waste contaminates our air, water, and soil. Environmental groups in favor of banning plastic bags argue, the manufacturing, ingredients, and the decomposing factors of plastic are harmful to our environment. Moreover, paper bags are a natural resource, such they have the ability to be replenished by planting more trees. In addition, plastic microscopic particles can take up 500 to 1000 years to break down and many animals, on land and sea are ingesting the plastic and dying. Another claimed is plastic is an eyesore, plastic is ending up on our National Recreation Areas, and taking over our landfills. (EPA.org)(2014) Additional arguments include the harmful ingredients use to process plastic and the health issues associated with them. Such as

It's time to think green. To be a responsible citizen, you need to shift from the conventional consumerism method of throwing everything away and start recycling and reusing materials. You can start by cardboard recycling, which is one of the most used products, and it is also one of the most wasteful ones.

The biggest source of waste is paper, every time a letter is opened, the envelope is thrown away, and when printing goes wrong the paper is thrown away. Ink cartridges from printers and photocopiers are thrown away when empty, as are multiple pens when they run out of ink.

“Now, to me, the choice is not to eliminate print because it’s dirty, but rather to clean up its production and then use print in ways that only print can provide,” this was said by Susan S. Szenasy at the American Institute of Graphic Arts in 2003 and still rings true to this day. The print industry as a whole has the image of wastefulness, some to which in unwarranted, but other parts accurate. With more people looking for sustainable, environmentally friendly, options in day-to-day life, the print industry has some catching up to do. Back to the quote by Susan Szenasy, print provides something that today’s electronically centered world does not. Print provides a multi-sensory experience that our computer screens cannot replicate completely, for this reason the print industry needs to keep up with consumer wants for economically friendly products.

When working with others, I perform best when supporting the lead. The strengths I possess help more with maintaining the group cohesive while others guide the group towards a goal. I am collaborative when it comes to sharing resources, and expect for others to do the same for another. For me it is important for all members of a group to make both significant and meaningful contributions, so that each individual benefits from aiding the collective. When presented with a dilemma, ideas for possible solutions come in abundance, however, it requires an extended period of time for me to formulate these thoughts. At Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI), I have built strong relationships with co-workers. This is largely due to the fact that we all value education, family, and equity.

The letterpress printing is a relief printing process, a movable type that basically applied raised metal type and engravings to imprint words and designs on a page.The letterpress is the oldest printing method that was originated in the mid 1400s, specifically by a German blacksmith and printer Johannes Gutenberg in 1455. In the 15th century, the letterpress was the dominant and primary printing technique for more than five centuries, and it had been known to be the classic Gutenberg printing process to spread communication. Prior to printing process, it required craftsmen to carve full pages of text or an image into wooden blocks. Once carved was the object, a manual composition of the text take place before printing, it involves selecting the different type

The benefit of recycling on the environment is endless even if you are just recycling paper products it can be beneficial. According to a website on recycling paper and other products recycling a single run of the Sunday “New York Times” would save seventy five thousand trees. The amount of wasted land that is left behind by those seventy thousand trees. could have been a strong environment that was destroyed just for a single run of the “New York Times”. According to the same source recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator. This energy used to burn the plastic is payed by the American people’s tax dollar that money could be saved by you just by simpling recycling. In the same source it says that approximately one billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the United States this paper thrown away is sent to these giant landfills and cost millions of dollars to dispose of as where if it was recycled we could save money by not having to pay for the paper sent to landfill and save money by not having to have it burned down or stored. The average American uses eighty five million tons of paper a year; about six hundred and eighty pounds per person according to the source earlier

Printing can be great for a variety of different reasons. I know I print out everything for school, including reading materials and papers. Printing can make life easier, especially when it comes to school and work. However, on the flipside, printing can also be extremely un-eco-friendly and harmful to the environment. Consider is this way, you're using paper which comes from trees. These trees were cut down using gas and fuel. You're also running a printer on electricity, which uses energy. So the next time you go to print something out, check out these green tips to save energy and paper. Print Double-Sided Until I started paying for my own printing paper in college, I never really understood how quickly the cost of paper could add up.
