When will Lebanon ever be at peace? As one problem is dealt with another rises and many places Lebanon are in trouble again. The latest problem we, as Lebanese, are faced with is the garbage problem. Living in a country without a president, for over a year, Lebanon has tried its best to strive forward and become a better place; however this has not been possible. Dumping garbage is not new for Lebanese, but over the summer it had increased drastically, developing into a crisis with no solution until

reciprocals need areas with high concentrations of plastic that could be picked up later. The next step is to find an environmentally friendly ay to dispose of the collected plastics. One of these methods if called pyrolysis and works by turning waste into oil and other energy forms without using combustion. This process could account for 85% of the plastic currently in the Pacific Garbage Patch. Furthermore, a pyrolysis system could be mounted on a ship and taken directly to the garbage patch

non-excludable and rival good, is actually being polluted every day by three main causes— industrial waste, natural contaminants and littering. Consequently, water pollution already has solutions that require a whole process in order to make the water clean and fresh again. First, industries, besides treating the water to make it drinkable or for any other use, are polluting it not only by throwing away the waste, but also by increasing the pH of water so remarkably that it is even affecting potable water

everything you do will produce some type of waste. While recording my trash that I have accumulated these fast three weeks I have noticed a trend. The trend is that every day that I drive to school I end up buying some type of food while I am at school. Most of this trash consisted of paper based products, which can be recycled but in most of the establishments do not have a recycling option because most of the things that can be recycled are covered in food waste so they are viewed as trash. During the

Americans use over 500 million plastic straws every single day—that’s enough to circle the earth’s circumference 2.5 times (Ives et al 2017). By 2050, there will be more plastic debris in the ocean than fish (Kaplan 2016). These staggering statistics are unacceptable and it is our duty to find a realistic, sustainable solution to the issue. Plastic pollution is one of today’s most pressing problems, and minimizing the use of straws is a feasible and realistic step in the right direction. Although

is asked, where does the food go? Does the topic of food waste come to mind every day, every week, or even once a year? The typical person would answer no, food waste does not concern most people, but that needs to change if people like the world they live in. People and especially Canadians need to realize that food waste has an environmental impact, people are still going hungry and there is a significant loss of money because of food waste. I wonder how people would feel once they knew exactly what

In, the Marshland all the houses are made of mud and reeds which is really cool.The Marshlands were a Wentland until 1980's a man called Saddam Hussein make some man-made canals.All the canals drain the water from the Marshlands.10% of the Marshlands shrunk in size and the Marshlands population dropped from 250,000 to only a few thousand.The Marshlands were a green beautiful land, but when Hussein built the canals instead of keeping it the way it was since the canals drain all the water the Marshlands

Firstly, I will be assessing the benefits of good citizens to the public services in respecting equality. A good citizen has many benefits for their community and society. Volunteering is something people do because they care about good citizenship. They want to help and better their community and do not expect anything in return. Some volunteer roles include Community support officers, St. John ambulance staff, lifeboat volunteers and people in the Territorial Army.1 All of these jobs are unpaid

The Great lakes are we sure they are so great?? Hello I am Rokhaya, I am a 20 year old, qualified Marine Biologists by the University of California, Los Angeles: Marine Biology Major. I live in Kitch-iti-kipi Michigan. Over 19 years I have studied the Great Lakes(I started studying in 1949) I have noticed a major difference from the 1950s to 2017. Pollution in the Great Lakes is a big problem and it is very serious. Water pollution affects health of the living organisms in the lake, and soon

Why Your Sump Pump Could Fail If your home is in an area that is at risk of flooding in the basement, having a sump pump can help provide some needed protection from rising ground water. Of course, you’ll need the pump to remain functioning if you want to avoid getting water in your basement. Here are several reasons why it could fail. You Lost Power If the sump pump doesn’t have power, it’s pretty useless. Unfortunately, the times that you may need your sump pump the most are during power outages
