Although both passages introduce good arguments, I am undecided about witch one I shall agree with. The first one seems as if the GatesburgGoGreen Initiative is a very good ideal. As the second points out all of the major flaws in the Initiative. In my person opinion the initiative is a little ridiculous, and heres why. The fact remains that we already recycle. 95% of lead and 70% of steel. If you ask me then I think we are doing a dman good job. The entire initiative seems like its being forced, you will be given 3 trash bins for different items. Who wants to have 3 trash cans in there home to sperate the trash. And on top of that, as I take a statement out of the second article, what happens when someone makes a mistake and puts the wrong
In order for environmental change to happen society needs to see the significance of trash. To make sense of that recall a time were you forgot to take the trash out and days later were reminded by the rotten stench? Now multiply the stench of that 1 bag 2 million times. To help you further understand let’s put this in mathematical terms. Let’s say on average 1 garbage bag weighs 20Lbs. that equates to 1bag=20lbs x 2,000,000 = 40 million putrid bags. This equation has opened my eyes. Rogers’s argument that Landfills should be in public places is a good one. Society is sheltered from Landfills: so they are out of sight therefore out of mind. If we can’t see the pollution we can’t change our carbon foot print.
It will make it easier for everyone who lives in the community.Less street cleaning will be done. The flyer states "According to the Enviromental Protection Agency, the average American produces more than four pounds or trash each day and recyles only about a third of that amount. Those daily pounds of trash add up. They result in tons added to unnecessarily to our landfill each year." This piece of evidence states that Americans have built up trash in our enviorment that adds up and isn't good for our landfill. The trash that is placed on the ground adds up and if we recycle it can easily save our landfill.
Recycling is more than just a great idea, it is and must be a way of living. The way we take care of our environment is how our environment will treat us. If we do not take care of our environment, not only will our home look unfit to live in but it is unethical to leave the environment we live in unhealthy for our future. I do agree with the GatesburgGoGreen idea and reading through you will see my evidence as to why.
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
Robert Bork was nominated by President Ronald Regan on July 7, 1987 to replace Justice Lewis Powell Jr. who was retiring that year. Bork was rejected by the Senate and Anthony Kennedy replaced Justice Powell. He was defeated by 58 (against) to 42 (for), which is noted as the largest margin in history. There are many reasons why Bork was rejected because of his views on certain topics, his controversial articles, and other things.
Both articles discuss a different point of view on recycling. The writer of Going Green for Gatesburg wants to reduce the amount of waste added to the country landfill by 90%. The writer of No Recycling Laws for Gatesburg thinks recyling is a good for the enviroment but also opposes the idea because of the extreme and unnecessary laws that will follow.
As you mentioned passing the bill became possible “with the help of all the advocates.” Former presidents for generations tried to improve the health care, and finally President Obama took the last step and signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to give people “basic security when it comes to their health care.”
The GatesburgGoGreen Initiative is a proposal to reduce the countries landfill amount by 90% over the next 5 years. An example of who uses this initiative are cities like San Francisco and Cleveland with much larger populations than Gatesburg. Some people believe this initiative is no more than an unnecessary and radical law. According to multiple sources, Americans already recycle at a high rate, which is about 95% of lead-acid batteries and 75% of steel cans and newspapers. In some people's opinions, this law only puts a burden on citizens who are already recycling at a normal rate by adding complicated rules such as different colored bins for certain items. If the law
The GatesburgGoGreen Initiative is an absolutely horrible idea in my opinion. The citizens of Gatesburg already recycle, why take things to the extreme? The thought of increased taxes, criminalization, fines, and utter invasion of privacy over trash is revolting.
The GoGreen initiative is a poorly thought out plan and while I understand why this idea was put forward the problems that it raises are more harmful than the potential benefits. First of all it's expensive, and it there is no way to enforce the law that isn't extremely invasive. On top of that citizens already recycle the majority of their waste.
Going Green for Gatesburg idea is the right decision to make if there is any hope of saving the environment from the natural disaster of the human race. With making your own compost and recycling the way that's explained in the text, you can redue the amount of waste added to landfills by 90% over the next five years, you'll save moeny in the long run, you won't have to open an entirely new landfill, and you will vastly improve upon the environment.
One of the most prominent issues in the American society is not an economic or social problem, but the lack of recycling in America and the effect it is having on the environment and the people. This lack of recycling can be found in businesses and schools across America who could benefit from some sort of recycling program installed. The benefits of a well placed and organized recycling program can be endless from scholarships to the benefits it can have on the environment by saving trees and reducing the space need to dispose all the trash. South Caldwell High School is one of these schools across the country that is at a loss because of its lack of a recycling program and many other schools and businesses in Caldwell county are not reaping
Transition to 2nd Main Point: I have just finished talking about the problem. Next I will talk about the causes of not recycling.
Wired telephone services have come as close to 100% reliable as is practical. Their network has substantial power backup, redundant circuits and years to get it right. Alternatives are improving but their networks can vary significantly. Cell sites and other communications nodes have a limited amount of backup power. In an extended power outage, such as after a hurricane or snowstorm, the service may not work, leaving you with no service. Corded phones work in power failures. Cable phones also have a lower level of reliability.
My main concern about waste disposal is toward poverty. In every society, for it to work effectively the waste disposal has to be handled properly. The lack of proper waste disposal can contribute for the underdevelopment of the community. For instance, in poorer community that does not have resources to dispose of the trash properly create a series of problems. For example, when there are a lot of trashes in a community, it will prevent investors to invest in a community, the housing market, schools and stores will decline, in consequence the houses will loose its value. This will create a ripple effect because people will start immigrating toward a better place where it is much cleaner. Families will try to move to a better place where their kids can have a better future. I ask myself who wants to live in a dirty environment? I hope nobody. That’s why I believe that the government should help the poorest communities about the ways to handle waste disposal, and better educate them about recycling.
