The Waste Management Of America Should Be Improved

we’re wasteful. In order to find solutions for our trash problem, we must first admit that we are

Take a moment to imagine the realization that a young boy came to when two of his favorite movies had a large plotline that was somewhat based on the problems of trash. Wall-E, the famous Pixar movie, was based on a small robot that was left behind on Earth’s surface alone. His job was to clean the garbage that the human population left behind when they went into space to escape their problems. Toy Story 3, another Pixar movie, contained a scene with garbage that was vital to the plot, in which the characters are rescued from a trash furnace that was consuming literally tons of trash a minute. These two movies tried to make the American population aware of the ever growing trash situation, however, Americans quickly forgot about the Earth shattering situation that they are causing. The solution to the world’s trash problem is easy; people need to be educated on the problems of trash and given an easy way to fix it. People should be required to visit a landfill, educated on the severity of the trash problem, and should be rewarded for changing their habits to improve the problem.

I agree with everything you mentioned about Hialeah. I know people that live in that city and they have told me how dirty it is. I think the best way to stop littering in that city and all others is to enforce the anti-littering laws. Another problem that you mentioned was air pollution, this problem affects almost all cities in part because most of us drive cars that rely on fossil fuels to work. I live in the city of Hollywood and sometimes the water gets contaminated and we have to buy bottled water but it doesn’t happen as often as in Hialeah. Littering, air pollution, and water contamination will continue to be problems for Hialeah and other cities across the country unless our society learns to respect the environment which won’t happen

When you are driving down the roads of Miami County, all you see is litter. My vision for the future of Miami County is to have little to no litter on the ground because it looks better, is better for the economy, and is better for the animals. Less litter is better looking to the eyes and is less trashy looking. That makes it look very trashy and makes it look like we all don’t care about the Earth and what shape it’s in. Less litter is also better for the economy, for the ground, and also for the water. Litter is very bad for the earth. Litter in the water can kill organisms. Litter on the ground pollutes the soil, which can pollute the plants that grow in the soil or can stop the plants from growing. If animals or humans eat the plants that

Living in Philadelphia, one of the largest and most known cities in America, you see many things going on around you that are just not right. One of the worst things about Philadelphia though is all of the garbage in and around the city. For my research topic I am doing littering as a major problem in my community. I chose this topic because a city that is labeled as so “important” should be taken care of and respected. As the home of the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross, William Penn, and the stomping grounds for the Founding Fathers we have failed our city as a community.

She sorted through the trash of several different categories of waste, trash, paper, plastic, and aluminum. Out of what she collected, “76% was not recyclable and 23% could be recycled” (page 1). In addition, Indiana State student, Matt McColley also did a research project on the waste production in the Lincoln Quads. Jeffery Mervis 2012 states, The United States, for example, produces roughly 12 billion tons of waste each year, of which only 350 million tons are classified as municipal solid waste” (p.668).

The technologies used in our city is drones. The drones do a lot of stuff for us so the city is more safe and the police have helped. They are run on solar power and wind power, have brain chips inside their heads and can only be programmed by the creator to ensure that they are not hacked into and made to do bad things. The drone can be used by the public in various ways as helping when lost and can also provide water bottles to the thirsty. We would have lots of police and

The current waste management in America should be improved. There is trash everywhere, and people do nothing about it. People are destroying our beautiful country with trash. Sure, our garbage and recycled materials are picked up once a week, but no one is worried about the trash that is just sitting there. People look at trash and do nothing about it. They walk by it like it was a squirrel or something. People should help pick it up and throw it away. It’s super simple. Just pick it up, and find the nearest trash can and then put in there. It’s that simple. The current should and needs to be fixed.

Recycling is known very well to most of the United States. It has been a buzzword since my childhood in the 80's. However, many towns and metropolitans, including my home town of Savannah, have trouble getting their residents to actively participate in the recycling programs.  There are many reasons people can site for not participating, some are personal issues, and some are those of the city itself. The first that comes to mind far too often is even though most solid waste can be sorted and recycled, the amount that is picked up is not even half as frequent. From a city stand point, expansion of the program itself may cause a hemorrhaging of money that can't be undone. Landfills have been an environmentally sound option for years, but they all have the same problem of finite space. On the surface it seems simple, but nothing is ever that easy. Both recycling programs and landfills cost large amounts of capital to maintain. With the goal of an environmentally stable city, landfills and their finite space will always be a problem. With vision and drive maybe the tables can be turned.

Have you ever thought about what the Eastern Shore would look like without so much waste? Throughout the Eastern Shore there is garbage everywhere, all because people don’t think twice about where they put their trash. Littering is a very serious problem it causes pollution, which is the reason for global warming. When you litter you’re polluting the air; polluted air is very dangerous for your body. Also when you litter you may receive a ticket that's not really worth it, when you could throw your trash in the garbage can. So, stop littering and help make the Eastern Shore beautiful again by picking up the trash around you.

Pollution of the environment is not just a problem in the United States, but also in the rest of the world, but there are ways of fixing this by starting small with the city of Roseville, California. There are many different solutions to this problem, for example, volunteers can help pick up the trash that is currently scattered across certain parks and areas, workers can set up posts, signs, and trash bins across the city for people to throw away their trash in, limiting the use of certain chemicals, setting up police officers to vigilate areas like parks and sidewalks, increase the littering fee, and finally, and most importantly, setting up advertisements and news reports of what littering is doing to our environment. All these things

Americans make more than 200 million tons of garbage each year, enough to fill Busch Stadium from top to bottom twice a day, that’s over 1800 feet! according to Ballparks. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 75% of the American waste stream is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% of it says Do Something. With the invention of the virtually indestructible material well known as plastic, on top of the rapidly evolving technological world, and the extreme reduction of locations where landfills can be built, it’s hard to believe that 75% of the waste stream in America alone is recyclable, and yet only 30% of it is actually recycled. Recycling is a beneficial solution to many of our increasingly important environmental

The absence of litter from our streets will not only increase society's morale but also will attract tourists along with immigrants. For instance, a city with strict environmental regulations such as Singapore will surely attract more people than a city like Khorramabad. Khorramabad is a city in Iran unknown by many purely because of its lack of littering policies. Conclusively, Khorramabad has virtually no tourists or immigrants but the country of Iran does record about 80 thousand deaths solely because of pollution. In conclusion with tourists and immigrants, our economy will continue to thrive resulting in a better quality of life of all

The average resident produces seven and a half pounds of garbage every day that is buried down in landfills and litters lands costing a great amount of money. Nowadays, people face no more critical trouble than the need to save the weakening environment, mainly in urban areas, where solid wastes are uselessly dumped. It has been observed that cities have no controlled structure for garbage disposal. Each year, millions of dollars are spent picking up litter and more is thrown away in valuable materials that could be recycled. As humanity develops new technology and equipment, the level of waste increases every day. Due to the fact that there is a huge problem with garbage disposal, government representatives must contribute to resolving

In general, one of the most daunting issues facing the world, today, is the rising waste problem, which impairs public health, pollutes the environment and essentially drowns poor, developing countries in toxicity. Experts have asked themselves what the best way to handle our trash is. For example, some claim that landfills are the way to go while others argue that trash burning is the better alternative. Although there are countless other alternatives for garbage disposal, landfills and garbage incineration, specifically, both have their drawbacks. Meanwhile, implementing a zero-waste policy, one where people are encouraged to not produce any waste, would get rid of the need for either of these processes altogether.
