Trish Trash Research Paper

     Hazardous wastes are another problem for the water in our world. These wastes are toxic, reactive, corrosive or ignitable. Most problems come from humans not storing the substance properly or not disposing of it correctly. This can be easily proven in 1969, when the Cuyahoga River, in Cleveland, Ohio, caught on fire and burned for sometime. Since this happened environmentalists have taken extreme measures to reduce the amount of pollution that is coming out of the power plants that are on the river and on Lake Erie.

“The waste dumped into the oceans tend to have toxic substance, which soaks in all the oceans oxygen,” so the oxygen is available to mammals.There are some items of trash that actually improve the found in environment. If it is in the right location, trash can increase rather than damage that’s found in the ecosystems. That may be true but I realized if we don’t clean up the oceans, it can change colors and we won’t have clean water to drink because of all the stuff that’s in the oceans.

Solid waste like bags, foam, and other items dumped into the oceans from land or by ships at sea are frequently consumed, with often fatal effects, by marine mammals, fish, and birds that mistake it for food.

This may sound like I’m trying to earn points with my boss, but it’s really true. Trish Cox has had a great impact on me as a leader. As most of you know, I followed her here to Anthem after 19 years at Schwab. She was the primary reason for me making this change. But I also worked directly for her in two different roles while at Schwab. I truly appreciate Trish’s leadership style and her open and transparent approach. She has taught me that we are all people first and also while things can be mission critical, we can work together to address them in a calm and thoughtful manner, without running around with our hair on

It has came to mind that the Big Sioux River located in the Eastern Part of South Dakota is a very polluted river. It is so polluted that its the 13th highest polluted water source in the United States. Therefore the people around this river, this is a very important to the people around because this is there main water source. People may ask why is this river so polluted and its because of the toxic waste from us humans. Every time you go to the bathroom all this waste ends up going into the river and even when you take a shower all the chemicals that go in your hair or for your body from the soap end up going into the river.

Who enjoys going to a body of water for recreational activities to find the lack of water or that it is too polluted to enjoy? I know I find it quite frustrating. Having Smoky Mountains National Park as my back yard growing up, I enjoyed fishing and tubing on the vast lakes, rivers, and streams. Now, living in Illinois, I still try to enjoy lakes and rivers, but find many of the bodies of water are either depleted or polluted. Like Derrick Jensen shows in “Forget Shorter Showers”, I believe that large scale waste reduction will decrease the damage done to the environment. I do agree to an extent with

Just imagine for a moment, strolling barefoot through silky sand, the warm sun beating down, and the sound of waves rhythmically rolling in. Picture dolphins dancing in the distance, seagulls whistling their blissful hymn above, and children laughing as they dance through the ocean spray. Sounds like the perfect escape, right? Tragically, the future of such a beautiful scene is in serious jeopardy! The quality of our waters is degrading at an alarming rate; the human race contributes to the problem daily, often without realizing it. Water pollution in Florida is reducing pure water sources at a drastic rate, destroying natural beauty, and severely impacting the survival of local wildlife. Human actions are a major contribution to this issue, therefore citizen awareness is the highest workable solution to diminish the threat and improve the degradation of our waterways. Florida cities near major waterways should establish annual community events to raise awareness and positively impact this problem.

The Tuggerah Lakes Estuary has recently been affected by an influx of rubbish into the waterways that has an enormous affect on the multiple ecosystems that rely on the lakes being healthy. This rubbish comes from the general every day litter that finds its way into the numerous rivers and streams that lead to the Lakes and from sediments from building sites with the increased number of dwellings as more people call the Central Coast home (Wyong Council, 2015a).

Water is an important resource that maintains life and is arguably the most substantial resource for the essence of life. As humans, we drink water to stay alive. Shift the perspective to an animal the requires water to live, fish for example, without being submerged in the water it would die. The importance of water is crucial to any ecosystem, and imagine an instance where man-made structures inhibit the natural world and could eventually tip an ecosystem out of control. There is a scientific text, based on research, written by the Western Environmental Law Center that argues how the instream flow of the Spokane River needs to be increased for the survival of the fish. They write to the Washington Department of Ecology

During our class discussion, we were talking about the Newtown Creek. It was interesting to learn about the history of the Newtown Creek because I did not know much about it. Due to large amounts of coal and oil refineries, it caused the creek to become polluted. Many environmentalists claim it leads to health problems which results to death. Of course, industries were to blame because oil spills contributed to a polluted Newtown Creek waterway. Industrial facilities attempted to search for answers as to why the Newtown Creek became like this, but could not do much to fix it. From my perspective, this is a very serious issue because it can get many people sick. I was really glad a coastal guard discovered something was wrong with the Newtown

If this continues to happen as it is, we will continue to lose quality water. We will also lose a large amount of water because of pipes bursting, and these are just vague descriptions of what’ll happen. For future generations, we must fix this problem right away. With our solution, we believe that we can move one big step closer to a perfect watershed; informing students as well as installing more sanitary bins and posters will help them grow up knowing what (and what not) to do to make sure we have a healthy watershed. With funding from Caring For Our Watersheds, we can implement our plan and begin to take real action. Tomorrow is depending on

People contaminate water by adding chemicals and other harmful substances. For example having lead, zinc, mercury, copper, etc. in water can lead to illnesses such as polio, typhoid fever, polyomavirus infection and many more. Water is a very important element on earth and we need to keep it clean. Over two thirds of Earth’s surface is covered in water; less than a third is taken up with land. As Earth's population continues to grow, people are putting ever-increasing pressure on the planet's water resources. Without water there would be no oceans, no lakes, and no rivers. We all need water to survive, so when people throw their trash in and pollute the water, they don’t understand what their actions will do to us in the future and what harm

As most would know, water an essential substance on earth for our survival. We need clean water each day to function properly whether it’s for drinking, bathing, watering, swimming or washing, as well as for our waters to be safe for our environment and marine life. So what would happen if our waters were to be unusable or untouchable for our ecosystem, and for us humans, to be so contaminated with waste that it may be impossible to fix? With this fact in mind, there is still hundreds, if not thousands of waterways, around Australia that are still contaminated and infested with waste. One local area that is known for rubbish pollution that leads to their waters is Brighton Le Sands. They are known for a large ethnic population who have huge gatherings and picnics around the beaches. In comparison, another local area is

According to Lynnhaven River Now “Last year, volunteers picked up over 4,800lbs of trash!” ("2016 River Cleanups."). The problem with this solution is that it's not enough, picking up trash from our rivers and bays does help with curbing bacteria in the waterways yet, stormwater that is dumped into the river untreated also significantly contributes to bacteria growth in our

trash in the water really is. It not only interferes with the aquatic life, it also allows
