Recycling has been the environmental crusade to reducing the human footprint, with it’s spotlight shining down on in recent years. It was the noblest of causes, recycling being a great idea for the environment and society; but it is being handled poorly. Its modern descendant has turned into a corporate scheme with recycling becoming a business, instead of being about the environment because marketers are using environmentalism as a excuse for overconsumption, recycling products are only being recycled for profit, and cities & big business use inflated numbers to attain media attention. Let’s now take a look at the bread and butter of

Ms. Bynum is a self-referral who agreed to participate in the TPAPN monitoring program. On 11/24/16, Ms. Bynum tested positive for alcohol (ETG - 2510 ng/ml, ETS - 77 ng/ml) and renewed her program with TPAPN. On 2/26/16, Ms. Bynum tested positive for alcohol (ETG - 7980 ng/ml, ETS - 1580 ng/ml). On 4/7/16, Dr. John Lehman conducted an assessment on Ms. Bynum and recommended 90-day inpatient treatment program that Ms. Bynum refused. Additionally, Dr. Lehman stated on assessment that Ms. Bynum is not fit to practice and has a high-risk for relapse.

Your compliance report from Health Professional's Services Program states that on 6/1/17, you had a positive PETH test for ETG and admitted to consuming alcohol on 5/20/17 and 5/23/17. On 6/1/17, you case was staffed with the Texas Board of Nursing to determine continued participation in the program or closure. The Board of Nursing determined that TPAPN should continue to monitor your case. Therefore, your participation in TPAPN will be extended. Your estimated completion is 10/17/18; however, it is subject to change depending on the Oregon State Board of Nursing’s decision to extend your participation in their program.

Just recently, the American Lung Association of Florida awarded Hillsborough County with an “F” grade for air pollution. According to an article in the Tampa Tribune, Tampa had a dozen days last year where the ozone concentration reached “unhealthy” levels, or above 100 parts per billion. The federal threshold for safe breathable air is 75 parts per billion (Tampa Tribune, 2014). Some days there will be what seems to be what looks like haze over Tampa, it is actually the smog from idling cars and transportation systems. With the construction on I-275 lasting for more than 6 years, Tampa commuters have seen their share of accidents, traffic jams and construction detours. All of these factors leading to hundreds of commuters idling on the roadways and their vehicle pumping carbon dioxide directly into the air over the bay. Air pollutants are just the start for pollution challenges in Tampa Bay. As reported by Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful Organization, they removed more than 60,500 pounds of litter, trash and debris from 75 or more locations in Hillsborough County along the different waterways (Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful). Some of the debris listed included shopping carts, beer cans and bottles, and

Municipal solid wastes are leftovers made by the population such as food, plastic bottles, household wares and many more. These items referred by most as “the garage” or “trash”. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2015) In the early 1900’s, incinerators were used to burn waste however by the Mid-20th century, lawmakers enacted the first government regulations in an attempt to address increasing concerns about the environmental impact of unregulated waste management practices. With the first waste management legislation being passed in 1965, brought along the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, thus bringing us into a new world of waste management.(Vault, n.d.)

INTRODUCTION: The act of recycling has been and is very influential around the world for the last decade, where global warming is not easily seen on news headline; strongly encouraged for all people, especially strongly advised to recycle in the United States. Recycling plastic and other reusable materials are a process that takes decades to have at least half of the world's population to get involved; however Nevada started to show advances to recycling, with investments from industries, universities or schools, and individuals. Hotels on the Las Vegas Strip and diverse population of students have promoted recycling exceedingly, which encouraged and still is encouraging out-of-state recycling industries to take a step further in recycling

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a grand, 21st century regional free-trade treaty which was commenced on 2003. It initiated as a trade contract involving Singapore, New Zealand and Chile. Presently, the TPP consists of 12 countries as their members that includes US, Malaysia, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Brunei, China, Korea, Australia, Peru and Vietnam. Other countries like Bangladesh, Philippines, Indonesia, India etc. have also revealed their concern in merging with the TPP trade agreement. In 2011 the Trans-Pacific Partnership countries declared that the TPP is expected to “develop trade and investment accompanied by the TPP partner countries, to uphold innovation, economic expansion and advancement, and to support the formation and preservation of jobs. TPP will undo prospects for American employees, families, businesses, farmers, and ranchers by offering increased permission to some of the greatest growing markets in the world.

I intend to teach at Davis High School (DHS), which is located in Yakima, Washington. According to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), DHS has 2,097 students enrolled, and 77.9% qualify for free and reduced lunch. About 8.5% of the student body need special education, and 18.2 are in transitional bilingual education. The school makeup is 83% Hispanic, 11.3% White, 3.1% of two or more races, 1.5% Black, and other ethnic groups. There is a 21 to 1 student to teacher ratio; 60% of the teachers have at least a master’s degree; and the average teacher experience is 15 years.

Americans have yet to face the unnerving reality of the fact that “in 2008 only 7.1% of the 30.05 million tons of plastic waste in America was recycled” (Linn). This low percentage is shocking, outrageous, and should terrify the American public, but this number can change. Recycling is not just a feel good experience; it is a way to help save energy, space, and money. However, with the enormous amount of trash being thrown out each year, landfills are increasing in size creating numerous issues. The staggering amount of waste increases greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and building up dangerous toxins that sink underground into our soil and water, overflows into wildlife habitats and oceans, and costs a large amount of money to remove. By fining residents who incorrectly dispose of recyclable goods, implementing recycling as a requirement in educational institutions and other business and residential settings, categorizing the

Have you ever wondered how games work,well I’m about to tell you. Well this game called FourSquare,it tells you where you are at and can get you for example get you reservations at a restaurant. FourSquare uses something like Google maps to tell you where you are at. When you are using FourSquare you have to be at the restaurant you tell it your at.

Florida International University (FIU) is a large institution that educates approximately 47,736 students, and provides housing for about 3,600. Although the university provides their students with the education they need in order to pursue their careers, both the university and its students are creating environmental damages along the way. One of these damages are the amount of waste produced. The amount of items thrown away in garages such as: plastic, paper, and organics are a major cause for concern because they are all items that can be prevented from ending up in landfills, but receives minimal attention.

Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography or CTPA is the last choice of method. Patients with a pending confirmed diagnosis and a questionable D-dimer result are deemed candidates (15). Advantages of CTPA include higher diagnostic accuracy, ability to provide a clear result, fast acquisition time, and readily available in most hospitals (15). Patients with renal failure, allergy to contrast medium, possible pregnancy, critically, requires ventilation support and those who suffered from a recent myocardial infarction are contradicted from having a CTPA.

Miami International Airport (MIA) is the international air gate for the Miami area. The airport is situated 8 miles northwest of Downtown Miami, between the cities of Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Miami Springs, and the village of Virginia Gardens. It is the main airport of the South Florida meant to receive international flights. In addition, Miami International is one of 8 U.S. airports able to accommodate the Airbus A380 jumbo jet. Miami International Airport has flights to transfer passengers and cargo to different cities throughout the Americas, Europe and Western Asia. In addition, the airport provides cargo flights to East Asia. In 2011 MIA was ranked first in the United States in serving international flights and second by volume of international passengers. As a result, MIA was named the 23rd-busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic and the 10th busiest airport in the United States. By serving cargo flights, it is the first international airport in the US. (Miami-Dade Aviation Department, 2012)

The air travel market has evolved rapidly over recent years in Latin America. Some industry estimations over 2000 new aircraft will begin service over the next five

Recycling is an essential part of reducing the amount of waste filling up landfills. Recycling materials cannot only reduce waste but pollution as well. Unfortunately the typical recycling programs such as curbside pick-up and recycling centers require significant commitment from the public to be successful which generally leads to low participation. However there may be a solution to the problem. The pollution prevention and reduction program suggests the use of materials recovery facilities. Materials recovery facilities sort out recyclable materials from other waste products such as compostable items. By sorting out the waste at one central location more items get recycled and waste is reduced without public participation. A recent article by Wang (2010) suggests, “The installation of materials recovery facilities (MRFs) can be an alternative solution to the problem of low participation of voluntary household and curbside recycling in fast-growing cities.” Materials recovery facilities can be a viable solution for waste management problems where public participation is an obstacle. This solution also provides less societal impact because lifestyle change is not as critical.
