Do you cringe at the thought of your household items being tossed in a landfill? There are several ways you can do your part to lessen the amount you contribute to the landfill, one of which is to reuse certain items for your garden. Reusing household items for the garden will also help you save money on some of the garden supplies you need. Here are a few suggestions for household items that can be recycled for use in the garden. Empty Egg Cartons Empty egg cartons are great trays for starting seeds. You can use either the plastic or the paper egg cartons, but if you use the paper ones, they can be planted directly into the ground when its time to transplant. When using styrofoam cartons, make sure to poke holes in the bottom for drainage. …show more content…
There are compost bins available a range of sizes, so even if you don't have a lot of vegetable scraps, you can still make a small amount for your plants. Newspapers Old newspapers can be used in a variety of ways, such as adding them to your compost pile or shredding to use as a weed blocker. To use newspaper as a ground cover to block weeds, cut an X in the newspaper and fold it back. Place the plants in the area you cut, and fold the paper back around the plant. Top the newspaper with mulch. Newspaper can also be folded up to make small pots that can be used for starting plants, then transplanted paper and all into the ground. These are only a few of the ways to recycle and reuse household items. Before throwing something away, simple let your creative process go to work and think about ways to recycle the item instead of throwing it away.

In the commercial created by the CDC “Terrie’s ad” a woman is in a hospital bed speaking against smoking cigarettes. Her voice is very difficult to understand, her skin has detrimentally changed, and the imagery portrayed is very disturbing to the audience. Terrie claims she started smoking as a teenager, and it is eventually released that she dies at the age of fifty-three from cancer. The purpose of this commercial is to stop people from smoking, ideally before they start. To reach this goal the creators of the video utilize multiple rhetorical appeals in an attempt to get across to the audience.
Compost bins are ugly to look at although it would be possible to create a natural compost area using timber within the garden space, beneficial for grass cuttings, vegetable peelings and such like.

The townspeople think that wearing that scarlet letter wasn't a harsh enough punishment. They were quick to judge and began shaming her. "... she had..to encounter the stings and venomous stabs of the public contumely... in every variety of insults..."(Scarlet Letter, 63). Some women in the crowd began to discuss Hester Prynee's punishment and began calling her names like a "malefactress", a female criminal. Even the "gossips" condemn her and felt strongly that wearing the letter "A" upon her chest wasn't harsh enough. One of the gossips said her punishment "At the very least, they should have put the brand of a hot iron on Hester Prynne's forehead." (Scarlet Letter, 55). Other women said that she could hide the mark but the sin will always
Many things that all biodegradable and up in landfills the things that take years to decompose. Such as plastic, glass, metals! etc. This problem can be solved by me, with help, using $1000. When people throw away certain things, they don't know that many of those items are organic matter that can be decomposed. When you gather these organic and biodegradable items into a band, they decompose. This is called composting. The mixture inside the bin is called compost.this compost can be used as fertilizer and can help condition land. Things like fresh grass clippings, flowers, vegetable and fruit feelings such as potatoes and orange peelings, vegetable crop residue such as potatoes and tomato plants, herbivore manure, such as horse, cow, and rabbit,
A large amount of household goods are used every day, which are then thrown into the garbage. By reducing solid wastes used on a day to day basis, this reduces the amount of items thrown into the garbage, thus resulting in reducing the garbage that goes to landfills. Reducing, reusing and recycling are the most common methods to reduce landfill waste. By converting into using a glass drinking bottle, this supports in not contributing to the mass of bottles in landfills or in the ocean. Healthier foods do not require much disposable waste in the form of packaging. As an alternative of throwing away old clothes, these can be donated to people in need or to charity chops. Another method of reusing is using old shopping bags and containers for maximum
Paper products are frequently wasted at home and at work. Discarded newspapers and old grocery bags is one example of wasted paper. The solution to saving paper is easy just take all of your old paper products to a local recycling center. Another piece of thrash that is wasted often is glass. Old pickle jars, mayonnaise jars, and jelly jars are thrown away carelessly in the trash when they can easily be washed and reused or recycled. The last piece of garbage that is frequently wasted is plastic. Plastic is wasted very often in milk cartons, soda bottles, and most other containers. Plastic is probably the most wasted thing that we use. Ether washing or reusing can easily conserve plastic. You can also recycle plastic like the other two things. Wasting of glass, paper, and plastic can be prevented if people would take the time to recycle.
All around the world religion is a significant aspect of what impacts the daily lives of humans. Though the root of the one religion may vary greatly from another, there may also be many similarities and overlaps within them. Even with all the differences, many people rely on religion to provide a structure for their lives. Religion is perceived as a guideline for how one should live their life and overall helps define one’s purpose of life. Religion has brought unity within cultures, but differences in religions have also led to much separation and division. It has become a way that people identify both themselves and others and because of these identities, religion makes up a huge part of everyday lifestyles and beliefs. Within this paper I will be comparing the similarities and differences between the religions Christianity and Buddhism, both of which fall in the top 6 most popular religions widely practiced around the world.

There are many reasons why gangs exist. Two prime examples that come to mind are the feeling of belonging to a family and the supply/demand aspect of drugs. If addicts were to receive treatment for their addiction, then gangs would not make nearly as much money as they do from the drug market to fund their lifestyle. Consequently, a lot of these children who do join gangs would presumably have their parents in their lives more to care for them which would deter them from joining gangs for the family aspect. In my opinion, if people did not have chemical dependency’s it would reduce the number of people joining or maintaining their gang status because the drug market would decline and they would have to find another way to make money.
In 2016, Americans elected a new President, Donald Trump. During his campaign, candidate Trump made several promises about the EPA. One of Donald Trump’s campaign promises that I read on www.washingtonpost.com, “the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) might disappear,” reminded me of the “Love Canal” scandal. As a student of biology and geology and a future scientist, the idea that government agencies would no longer assist with the protection of the environment, which includes politicians, was astonishing. According to an Executive Order signed by President Trump and posted on www.epa.gov, the “2015 Clean Water Rule” that protected streams and oceans from environment pollutants was rescinded (2017). The reason the quote by candidate Trump and the executive order by President Trump has any relevance is because these same actions could impact pre-1991 landfills. Landfills built before the 1991 regulations were not required to install barriers that protect the groundwater from carcinogens. There are chemicals that the EPA has determined to cause cancers and presently exist in landfills. Landfills built before 1991 are not required to protect any humans, wildlife or plants, or water from toxins and the new EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt could decide the current regulations are too
I was watching TV just like a normal 11 year old would, my mom was cooking, and my dad was doing yard work. Mom realized that the trash can was full, so she called me over to go and take the trash out. The show was almost over but my mom did not care. “Kinsey!” Mom shouted, “You need to take out the trash!”
Household solid and liquid waste consists of unwanted rubbish, such as inorganic and organic products. For instance, not only disposal of unwanted inorganic products derives from fabric, glass, paper, plastic, metal materials and hazardous waste, but also food scraps and garden debris
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
