The document discusses the 5R's of waste management - Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle. It provides examples of actions for each of the 5R's, such as bringing reusable shopping bags, writing on both sides of paper, reusing containers, and recycling paper, glass, plastic and electronics. Implementing the 5R's can help reduce waste sent to landfills, conserve resources and energy, create jobs in recycling industries, and lead to a cleaner environment with less disease.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
3. Need of 5R's
Reduces waste disposed off in landfills
Saves energy and natural resources
Creates livelihood by recyclablecollection
Wealth recovery
Recovery of energy, compost, biogas,etc.
Clean environment, less disease
4. Refuse
Do not buy or use plastic
Resist excess consumption
Do not use disposable tableware (paper plates, chopsticks,
paper cups, plastic silverware)
Refuse to buy or accept products that can harm you and
theenvironment.
Don't buy products with unnecessary packaging.
Refuse to use polythene bag, use paper bags instead.
5. Reduce
Limit the amount of time you drive, if possible walk
Use high efficiency light bulbs to conserve energy
Do not waste paper and things to reduce trash
Save water & energy
Eat at home
Think before purchasing, buy only necessities
Buy durable products
Avoid single use items
6. Reuse
Bring your own shopping bags to the store
Reuse bottles/containers as flower vases or pen holders
Write & photocopy on 2 sides of paper
Use rechargeable batteries
Slowly replace any single use items with reusable ones -
likereusable water bottles and mugs.
Reuse packaging material (pallets, drums, bubble wrap or packaging
peanuts).
Reuse shipping containers (boxes, inserts, cartons).
Reuse printer cartridges and have them refilled.
7. Repurpose
Take something and use it for something else.
Repurpose scrap paper for taking notes.
Repurpose metal cans, buckets for creative plant containers.
Repurpose wood crates into benches or shelves.
Repurpose old tires into fences.
Repurpose steel drum as compost bins.
8. Recycle
Breaks material down to its main component and produces new
products.
glass and beverage containers;
aluminum and steel cans;
Newspaper, cardboard and magazines;
Car Parts
Printer Ink, Computers, cell phones
Cans
plastics; white paper for businesses;
nickel cadmium and lead-acidbatteries etc.
9. Importance of 5r's
Waste has become a big challenge for the environment and humans in
modern times. Our water bodies, our grasslands, our fields, our public
spaces; all of them are being affected by the waste we discard. It is
important to take steps for Refusing, Reducing, Reusing and knowing
about Recycling at a young age. It is important to know what we
actually need and what we just want.
