Trash Should Be Illegal

Implementing Laws to criminalize violations its complicated rules. Citizens should not be fined just for throwning the cans,newspaper, or any other item in the wrong recycle bin.

In my opinion,Making a law for recycling is ridiculous. Americans already recycle at a high percentage rate.I, myself do recycle on a regular basis. I try to encourage others to follow my footsteps. It's not rocket science to figure out where each recyclable item goes.It's common sense. Some people thinks it's not important to recycle.They have there own opinion on why they don't want to recyle. Enforcing a law for recycling would be a big headache for us taxpayers and lawmakers. People don't want to be watched by surveillance cameras or ticketed by the trash police.I know I wouldn't want to be watched . I would feel violated. Just because you put something in the wrong recycle bin. You would get fined. That makes no sense to me. Why make

There are many programs but too little enthusiasm. ”Recycling programs abound, but people are often lackadaisical about putting plastic,paper, glass and metal into those bins”(“How Do You Encourage Recycling”). The world has enough programs but it need more people. People need to think about how recycling helps everything and everyone around them. ”They asked people to think more abstractly about why recycling contributed to the community, air, land, and water resources “(“How Do You Encourage Recycling”). When people recycle they need to remember why they are doing this and what it helps. The world needs to look at what it can gain or lose when recycling and not recycling. ”Marketing professor Kate White of University of British Columbia shared studies that looked at two kinds of messages:those that highlight the negative consequences of not recycling,loss framed message, versus those that emphasize the positive consequences of recycling,gain framed message.”(“How Do You Encourage Recycling”). These messages will address what people can gain and lose. Motivating people to recycle could make a huge change in land pollution even solve the problem with

To begin, one reason why we should conserve is because almost everywhere in Sioux City has trash somewhere. We could work together and make a program that will help clean up Sioux City. This makes us only a couple steps away from reaching our goals. Not only would it clean Sioux City but also it would teach parents/students the reason why it is important to recycle/conserve. I know that as of right now we have bins everywhere over Sioux City. However, I am noticing that many people do not use these recycling

I don't think I should recive a fine just because I throw old food in the garbage. No Recycling Laws for Gatesburg states that, "Americans already recycle at a high rate, which is around 95% of lead-acid batteries and 70% of steel cans and newspapers." Which I personally think is wonderful. So why force people to do even more? Many people will be so used to doing things one way, that if you make it a law to do it another you are setting them up to break the law and be fined. And I don't think that is fair at all. Not only would it be unfair to fine people for not composting or recycling, but it would also increase taxes to pay for all of the services and personnel as stated in paragraph two of No Recycling Laws for Gatesburg. Therefor I do not agree with the Going Green for Gatesburg flyer. I beleive they have the best intentions but I don't think any community is ready for laws requiering citizens to compost or recycle. Maybe at some point in the future it will be as good idea, but as of right now I do not think it

By cleaning up the trash in the community is one way of giving back and will change them dramatically by thinking that people do care about it. It could be really helpful because we would have so many trash in our yards, highways, streets, parking lot, schools, and

An educational campaign should be launched to inform and encourage new behaviors. All consumers should be shown the benefit of composting versus traditional disposal methods. Once consumers have been properly educated, encouraging participation is key. This would include providing a composting method for waste to be properly composted. The food recycling program would provide the means for all associates to begin composting donations rather than disposing via trash receptacles. Food compost bins should be provided in any food service industry to allow for proper disposal of waste. Companies should locate composting facilities and begin distributing food waste to said facilities rather than traditional trash disposal services. If possible and practical, companies should work to create their own composting stations.

People are constantly throwing trash outside their window when they are driving down the street or throwing trash on the ground when they are walking. As minor as littering is, there are long term effects. Trash that ends up in the storm drains, eventually make it’s way into the ocean. Once the trash is in the ocean, it can eventually make its way into a whales blowhole, or can be consumed by an animal; which could harm them. Also, trash that makes it’s way into lakes and oceans is very difficult to remove. If you cannot remove the trash, how are you going to prevent these animals from getting

Statistics show that over 1.5 billion more tons of garbage ends up in the ocean each year than is actually thrown away. Not only does this contribute to the amount to fish reported dead every day, but it takes around 11.5 billion dollars every year to help treat the mess. Even so, the litter is building up at such a fast rate we can not even begin to make progress. People of ages 18-34 tend to litter much more than others. If a method is found to target this crowd and make it more convenient to recycle, a large part of the problem could be

Well first off i'm all for recycling more but making it a law would be going to far in my option. The three tash can idea is to much if you ask me. Food an normal trash should be in one can and recyclables she be in another. If its a law and someone messes up then they get a ticket for putting the wrong thing in the wrong trash can. Because if you have three cans that will probley end up confusing for some poeple, like older men and women.

The best way to protect our environment is to develop a public education program and pay for additional maintenance person to pick up trash. I would center these things around public areas especially the park, a common area of many visits. The public education program

This is a very hard goal, considering the average person produces 4.4 pounds of trash a day, or 135 pounds a month, which is equal to two full-grown Australian shepherds, or one newborn giraffe. People can prevent this, just by making their own things and eating only non-packaged things. Also, people can just make their own things, like Lauren. Lauren Singer makes her own stuff, like washable toilet paper, toothpaste, deodorant, and more. She does this so she doesn't have to buy them in plastic containers. Lauren also uses the 5 R's, reduce, reuse, recycle, refuse, rot. These help Lauren to remember not to throw away things, because people can use any of the following R’s. She also states going waste-free not only help the earth, it makes her happier, and feel like she has more energy. Just because Lauren is eating healthier, it gives her much more energy than eating chips everyday will. People will also save money, by not buying all of these things. People also get to change anything they don’t like, such as if they don't like the smell of their shampoo, they can't change it, but if they make it themselves, they can add a different scent. Another way people can change and go waste-free is by looking in their trash to see what they're producing the most. For example, if a lot of plastic containers are in someones trash, cut back and use less plastic containers. So, waste-free has many benefits, according to Lauren everyone should

People Need to Recycle In the United Sates, where the population is inflated every year. The amount of space for landfills decreases every day. The need for recycling should not be asked, it should just be done out of habit. Everyone in America needs to recycle, to help the lamdfill problem, help the environment, and help produce new products from recycled goods. In America there is about two-hundred and eight tons of residential and commercial trash generated a year, 4.3 pounds per person a day (Prichard 1A). This is an overwhelming amount of trashed produced yearly. When people recycle this number can be drastically cut. But many people do not practice and use

When someone litters on land it affects our water. This is because when it rains your garbage slowly floats down the sidewalk or through the park and heads straight for the water drains. Think about the garbage you threw on the ground and all of the other people who carelessly do the same, it all goes in the storm strains and clogs it, causing the water to flow in different directions because its not able to go down the drain. Another thing is animals. Littering can affect them and make their life not very easy to live. Many animals are injured, become ill, and die each year due to human carelessness with litter and pollution. Animals can swallow or get entangled in many of the litter items people leave in the environment. Now you wouldn 't want to harm them would you? Another example of what is affected by garbage around the earth is the injuries it can cause, it sounds funny but is very true. Littering on earth can cause vehicle accidents and injuries, smother plants, start fires and harm or kill animals. It also attracts rats and harmful bacteria. The last reason I demand people to stop littering is because it affects the lives we live. When trash it carelessly spread around the earth it affects us, it can make many people sick and that would also spread making a good majority of your town sick. Now I get that sometimes there isn 't always a close garbage can or

recycling campaign. The only way to do that is to help make recycling appeal to more of the vast student population that currently attends our University. How might this be done? The University already places a recycling bin in every dorm room around the campus; anything more would exceed the current funding for the recycling project. Perhaps the institution of a recycling center at the Russell House could cause the impulse to become a habit. But, that would take too much money--with the salaries of workers and the annexing of what would amount to a new wing of the building--to consider for too long. Another solution could be to have the students elect a "recycling committee" to evaluate the problem and decide on the appropriate solution. However, I feel that with the current lull in our recycling campaign, even that would be ineffective. As an altrenative to these two solutions I propose that we, as students and faculty united, institute a plan that is so simple it is already in place in many of the high schools around the state. I propose a system of rewards.
