During the 19th century Industrial Revolution, several key innovations were made in both the technology and science fields. Even with these advancements, many cities were still pressed with an important issue: the disposal of waste. Cities often tossed non degradable waste from factories and homes directly into streets and rivers. This made for unsanitary living conditions and eventually led to diseases spreading rapidly. For a big city like Cairo, this issue persisted well after the industrialization period. Recycling was slowly turning into an issue that needed to be addressed, as waste was present in virtually every part of the city. Although Egypt’s population is predominantly Muslim, it was ultimately a group of Christians known as the Zabaleen that helped put an end to the issue of waste management in Cairo. Despite their differences in religious ideologies, the Zabaleen helped the city by collecting trash from door to door and recycling everything that they could. Even though the government did not support this system, the Zabaleen continued to work in the best interest of their community. Together, the Zabaleen and the citizens of Cairo have worked together to create what is recognized today as one of the world’s most effective waste management systems.
The Zabaleen were originally a group of Coptic Christian migrants that settled in Cairo during the late 1930’s. With no experience in waste collection at the time, they sold pork to tourist establishments (Hessler 2).
The purpose of this journal was to inform scholars and readers about the country of Egypt and its origins: the Ancient Egyption civilization and how it was built upon nature itself. The value of Hansen’s journal gives the perspective of a whole new world and geographical features. Egypt is surrounded by harsh unlivable climats, but the civilization was able to last over 500 years by using their geographical resources to their advantage to create faith, protection, and life as described by Kathy. Kathy has a PHD that she gained from Union University and is an associate publisher of Quintessential Careers. Despite the highly informative ideas, a limitation of the book is that it was written to describe Egyptian environmental aspects for readers to learn more about Egypt and maybe the desire to someday travel to Egypt. The book may have the perspective of a sort of travel guide showing a small bais while, trying to persuade people to travel to
Recycling and composing initiatives should be adopted and put into practice in communities throughout the United States. Recycling helps improve the enviorment we live in.By recycling we can make the enviorment a much neater place. In fact recycling can help save money.
Recycling is presently one of the most controversial topics, considering that while most individuals put across their support regarding the act the number of individuals who actually do something in order to recycle is much smaller. Many people are currently unable or unwilling to recycle properly because the process often requires a series of changes in one's life. It is thus essential for the authorities to provide educational programs meant to assist individuals in understanding why recycling is important and in learning how to recycle effectively. People need to accept the fact that the benefits of recycling will reflect on the future and that conditions are currently critical as a result of the fact that the masses are generally unacquainted with the importance of this process.
Amongst the turbid and dysfunction that is the Middle East lies the nation of Egypt. Egypt, a major country of the Middle East, is habitually considered stereotypical of Middle Eastern civilization, but further research guides one to the conclusion that Egypt is far from a generic Middle Eastern country. Egypt has a strong tradition of nationalism that has been formed during its history, giving it a national unity that is often non-existent in other Middle Eastern nations (1). This, as well as other advantages that Egypt has gained during its past, has allowed it to rise above the problems plaguing the rest of the Middle East and to form basically its
Egypt’s population is mostly dominated by one culture with (94%) following the Sunni Islamic faith. The rest of the population is made up of a Coptic Christian faith following (6%) (Commisceo Global 2014). With such a dominant presences of Islamic faith in the community, day to day business is conducted heavily around their customs. In Geert Hofstede’s comprehensive research into national values throughout the world we can see the many difference and similarities between different cultures all around the world.
Going green its great for the Country and it should be by choice not by law.Americans already recycle at high rate, we do not need a law pushing us beyond what we are already doing.
Moving into high school, a lot of my peers always talked about how much they were struggling with their classes. They all had their own way in coping with their stress, many had extracurricular that got in their way of getting their school work done. Plato’s Republic believed poets and artists should be outlawed, compared to what I said, he’s saying schools shouldn’t have the arts programs enforced; this is wrong. The idea high school must possess vigorous faculty, an easy manageable schedule and a variety of extracurricular activities; this is needed because the students need faculty that will come to work ready to work so that they are encouraged to come to class, the students need a schedule that is easier to manage so they can take the classes they want to take without limits, and the students need extra clubs and groups so that they have motivation and possibly even career related activities.
Household waste management is a growing problem in the United States and many other parts of the world. “The U.S. creates a lot of household solid waste per day per person. If there is a huge population of millions of people in a small area, household garbage can easily accumulate to 100,000 pounds per day. A few years ago, residents made a million tons of city waste per year and a billion tons of industrial solid wastes. In 2006, the U.S. residents generated half of 251 tons million tons of municipal solid waste per year and about 8 billion tons of industrial solid waste. This tremendous amount of waste includes both hazardous and nonhazardous waste. (Massawe, et.al, 2014)” A better understanding of household behavior is needed to assist
Recycling should be practiced for all states because of the waste that we pile in other societies. The lack of care to the earth and our homes will surley overcome and preduce mor garbage than we throw out. like said in the passage, landfills will overflow with the unending amound of garbage and un recycled product, wich then the higher powers of the state will try to despose of it in an unjustifyed space that could be overpopulated with trees animals and fresh resorces of water. Maybe in time some mistakes will be made and be agreed on by dumping some of this un recycled waste in the ocean, thinking that it will just sink to the sea floor and not do any harm to the species that are inhabeted in our great oceans. Without thinking of the

The general argument made by Zeina Karam in her work, “Lebanon’s Trash Crisis Worsens Amid Rising Heat”, is that the permanent closing of Beirut’s main landfill has created many different issues with both the environment and those who live in the city. More specifically, Karam argues that steps need to be taken to remove the garbage, which the government has not been doing. She writes, “‘Shame on them (politicains) and shame on us if we accept to live like this,’ businessman Antoine Samaha said”, suggesting that she agrees with the comments that those who live in Lebanon have made about the trash piling up with no actions being taken to remove it. In conclusion, Karam’s belief is that the government needs to solve the issue quickly, and stop
Without a doubt, recycling can be a costly suggestion for urban communities, a characteristic that makes it powerless against the hacking piece. Plastic recycling costs New York $240 per ton, twice what it expenses to simply discard it. Recycling costs shift by the city as indicated by an arrangement of variables, including closeness to landfills, work costs, sum and strategy for recycling and land costs. Years back City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed an 18-month ban on recycling plastic in destitute Gotham. Since then, environmentalists are worried that Bloomberg's arrangement, which will spare the city an expected $57 million, could serve as an outline for other city pioneers hoping to cut things from their financial plans. According
This book is suitable for an Egyptian who has lived the life of a cotton farmer or for a person who has no real idea of Egypt or the many cultures that fill the country. Yusuf Idris paints a portrait for the mind that makes one feel like they
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
Like any other sector of the market, the industry of recycled merchandise has undergone a range of changes in Australia, just like anywhere else in the world. For example, one of the biggest changes involves the creation and evolution of new technology and network development, such as the concept of eBay and the online flea market arena. For example, eBay in Australia has been around for just 13 years, and has undergone a complete evolution from the time that it first began to the type of things its selling right now at the greatest level of popularity. Ebay began as an online marketplace strictly for collectible toys and hard to find items from Americana or yesteryear: "'The weird and wacky is what eBay's bread and butter was for many years.' Now the biggest-selling categories are similar to what you would find in a shopping centre clothes, homewares, consumer electronics and motors, which is 'a really big category particularly in Australia'. The most expensive item sold on eBay Australia was the last-ever Holden Monaro to come off the car-maker's production line. It was auctioned for $187,600 in February, with all proceeds going to the Leukemia Foundation" (news.com, 2009). Ebay is not the only website for the online shopping of used materials that has become popular. For example, a website like recycleaustralia.swapspace.com allows people to post pictures and descriptions of their old items so that they can swap or exchange them with other
