...Pollution in Its Many FormsOne of the most serious problems facing the world today is pollution, that is the contamination of air, land and water by all kinds of chemicals such as poisonous gases, waste materials and insecticides. Pollution has upset the balance of nature, destroyed many forms of wildlife and caused a variety of illnesses. It occurs in every country on Earth but is most prominent in industrial countries.Breathing polluted air is very common to most people, especially those living in cities. In heavily industrialized areas, fumes from car exhausts and thick smoke from factory chimneys can be seen darkening the atmosphere. This would reduce visibility and make the air unpleasant to breathe. Large scale burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, in homes and industries also produces a wide range of pollutants. This includes sulfur dioxide which damages plants, destroys buildings and affects health. Other known pollutants are carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and dirt particles. The fumes produced by car exhausts and factories would normally disperse in the air, but sometimes they are trapped by air layers of different temperatures. The result is a fog-like haze known as smog.The motor car is a major source of pollution. In densely populated cities where there are millions of cars on the roads, the level of carbon monoxide in the air is dangerously high. On windless days, the fumes settle near ground level. Fumes from car exhausts also pour out lead and nitrogen...

...Selective collection of rubbish in Russia as a key to welfare (SLIDE 1) Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I want to present you my report. The topic is “Selective collection of rubbish in Russia as a key to welfare”. (SLIDE 2) I want to attract your attention to an undoubtedly global problem of today’s fast-moving world. I am absolutely sure, that you’ll recognize yourselves in this common day-to-day situation. Just recall it: every day you hurry to work or to studies and don’t have spare time at all. As usual, you just take your keys, grab your bag and run out into the street. Then you throw your rubbish into the dustbin or even leave it at your entrance. So, the problem is successfully solved and nothing else detracts you from your daily routine. (SLIDE 3) Meanwhile, every day one person produces 2 kilos of rubbish. This fact means that Russia has to utilize about 300 000 tons of rubbish daily. Obviously, all the attempts to hide these endless rotting rubbish mountains seem at least ridiculous as we just don’t dispose of infinite space nor needed amount of incinerators (machines for waste burning). (SLIDE 4) As a result, keeping a dump in Russia is extremely profitable as it doesn’t require any great efforts or big sums of money as a fixed capital. If you want to become a dump owner, you just need to buy a forged license (for the transportation, processing, storage, disposal of waste and waste destruction) and a godforsaken plot of land. Then you have to buy technical...

Enough resources Any suitable junk hauler has the right resources for work regardless of the type of waste or the location. These include labor force, vehicles and forklifts.

...towns, Nottingham) The most important role of a council is the services they provide for citizens. County and Metropolitan councils are responsible for services across the whole of a county or city, like education, transport services, planning, fire and public safety, social care, libraries, waste management and trading standards for their area. Parish (Borough) councils cover a smaller area, often a town or rural area, and are usually responsible for services such as rubbish collection and recycling, council tax collection, leisure services and housing. Unitary authorities are councils that provide one tier of local government and provide all services. This is confusing as they can also be called city councils or borough councils or just councils! The responsibilities of Local Government are: * Education * Transport * Planning- land, housing, commercial building projects * Fire and public safety, social care, libraries, waste management and trading standards * Rubbish collection * Recycling * Council tax collection * Leisure services *...

Waste can be reduced by about 80% for the average household or business if effective recycling efforts are in place. Body A. Recycling protects the environment Recycling is important for the simple reason that it helps eliminate waste which is having a negative effect on our natural environment.This is where recycling process comes in. This sounds relatively simple but can contribute enormously to preserving the environment for the future and for our future generations. One being that less of our rubbish ends up in landfills and littered around the streets which ultimately ends up in the ocean. This prevents animals from eating and getting caught in the rubbish. It also means less land needs to be cleared to make way for garbage dumps. Recycling helps to conserve energy, so less greenhouse gases are emitted. It also reduces our dependence on landfill. With less materials going to landfill, less harmful emissions like methane gas are released into the earth's atmosphere. Recycling products such as paper means that...

...complex technical challenges. They also pose a wide variety of administrative, economic, and social problems that must be managed and solved. The primary sources of solid waste include waste generated in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial activities. Certain types of wastes that cause immediate danger to exposed individuals or environments are classified as hazardous; these are discussed in the article hazardous-waste management. All nonhazardous solid waste from a community that requires collection and transport to a processing or disposal site is called refuse or municipal solid waste (MSW). Refuse includes garbage and rubbish. Garbage is mostly decomposable food waste; rubbish is mostly dry material such as glass, paper, cloth, or wood. Garbage is highly putrescible or decomposable, whereas rubbish is not. Trash is rubbish that includes bulky items such as old refrigerators, couches, or large tree stumps. Trash requires special collection and handling. The problem of solid waste management in major cities has acquired alarming dimensions in Brgy. 19 Sampaguita St. especially during the last year. The present system of solid waste management in the said barangay, is fraught with many inadequacies in terms of following techniques. Improper segregation of solid waste is a major problem of...

...to earth with the help of WALL-E. They then begin to repopulate earth. However, if you look underneath the 'cute' layer, you will find many references to religious stories. The two I am going to discuss are the tower of Babel and Noah's arc. To begin with, I will note the similarities with the 'Noah's arc' story. I am sure you will be familiar with the story, so here is an outline. God tells Noah that the world will flood for 40 days and nights, and that he should build a large boat and round up two of every animal to survive the flood. Noah does so, and then after he is finished, the world floods, from a lot of rain. After 40 days, the rain stops. So Noah send out a dove, which is called 'eve' in some stories, to retrieve a twig from dry land. After it returns, Noah determines that the earth is livable again, and begins to repopulate earth. The movie WALL-E has many similarities with this story. First of all is 'god', being the company 'buy n large', telling humanity to leave on massive ships, to survive while the earth is cleaned up from the massive pollution caused by human kind. After 700 years exactly (255,500 days), a probe they sent out comes back positive. This...

... many houses and other structures have been build by stones that were present there and over history, if the place wouldn’t be touched by human hand, it may could look differently shaped and formulate naturally, but it didn’t. Today’s modern houses that are built on those lands are made from different resources and aren’t necessarily taken from the land itself but from somewhere else; like quarries. Long Mynd doesn’t consists of many types of rocks and today the steep and narrow valleys are covered in a thin layer of soil, with a low pH, able to support only strong grasses, rushes, and heathers. Beneath the soil the evidence of the ancient and chequered past can be seen, and the rocky outcrops and scree slopes are excellent places to view the different layers of ancient rock. Wildlife at Long Mynd doesn’t have as much variety as Yellowstone park and doesn’t thrives with breath taking beautiful animals, but some life is present there and the only animals that live there are ponies, sheep, bats and wild birds including the rare Ring Ouzel. Wildlife there have been carefully catered for by local farmers and National Trust but, because outsiders(hill walkers) that are having a peaceful journey through the lands, sometimes forget how or...
