The Waste Land

of fly ash disposed of on our own property will range from 500 to 700 tons. According to our recent research and analysis, pelletizing our fly ash waste and selling it to the public as low-grade fertilizer would rid us of approximately 500 tons a year. However, we do have the capacity to dump this harmless fly ash on our back 40 acres, an area of land that was classified as a Type III landfill in 1979. Due to a crackdown on the general public and their free dumping on our lot, our forty acres were

Luckily, we have the technology to start using cleaner energy and therefore repairing the damage that we have done to our environment. The solution is nuclear energy. The United States needs to use more nuclear power because it creates less waste both in our land and air, it uses less space than other energy sources, and it is much safer than other energy sources. The discovery of fission occurred during World War Two with the creation of the atomic bomb. After that, scientists were eager to use

Waste Nation Trash. What is considered trash? Trash, is a subjective term. For some, it’s the whole, “waste not, want not”, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, etc. We’ve all heard these age old adages, but how much do we, as concerned Americans truly take this to heart when it comes to food waste? Some may argue that an expiration date is some magical sign to throw food away, which, does have some truth to it. No one wants to eat food that’s expired, and therefore, will make one sick.

Imagine a piece of land around 24 times the size of California dedicated to farm crops and food. Now imagine all those food being thrown away and not eaten by people who are too full to care about the people going hungry every day. Not only does society ignore the problem of food waste, it constantly contributes to it. According to an article, “Curbing Food Waste Is Good for Business, the Environment, and Society”, 2.5 billion acres of land used for farming to grow food are wasted every year (Lewis)

that approximately only 70 per cent of urban towns have access to safe drinking water. The minimum per capita supply of water required in urban areas varies from 70 lit/day to 130 lit/day, and this requirement of water supply varies according to the land use classification of the towns. The sources of water supply, purification, pumping of water, storage and distribution varies from place to place. In Tamil Nadu, out of 744 towns (including corporations and municipalities), 145 towns are not fully

Nuclear is an innovation of modern technology. Nuclear science comprise the natural sciences and technical sciences in the second half of the 20th century, it is embody the strength of a country in the world. Nuclear is burning to produce uranium, uranium was discovered by Martin Klaproth in 1789, who is a German chemist (World Nuclear Association, 2015, May). There are nine countries have nuclear technology in the world, which are China, the United States of America, Russia, the United Kingdom,

especially the Mojave Desert of Southern California, is the human being. Humans are responsible for damages caused by off road vehicles, pollution, and industrialization. Each of these contributes to the damage, and destruction of natural desert lands, but off road vehicles is a major contribution. We see off road vehicles all over the place, but the one are that is impacted the most, is the desert. With places like Glamis, Ocotillo Wells, Dumont Dunes and Johnson Valley, we see some major destruction

massive earthquakes or volcanic activity are still a possibility in the area around Yucca Mountain, and that such disasters would inevitably cause the proposed massive storage container to leak radioactive waste into the land and water supply. This is why Dr. Nawaraj suggests keeping the radioactive waste in aboveground containers located throughout the country. Dr. Nawaraj justifies his solution by saying that such facilities “maximize the autonomy and decision processes of future generations…it would

This is known as item thrown away or no longer useful by the owner. Waste is generated daily, if it is not properly manage it

environmental sustainability there are two strategies are conducted, namely Energy, Materials and Waste Strategy, and the Water Management Strategy. Energy, materials and Waste strategy undertaken in several ways including energy efficiency through reducing the use of energy from renewable sources, the use of solar energy as an effort to reduce the non-renewable resources dependency, implementation of the waste management system as well as re-use the existing materials. Water Management Strategy is conducted
