Why Effective Waste Disposal is Important.pdfIsabella Barry
Some factors, including the protection of the environment, public health, economic viability, and societal well-being, call for effective garbage disposal. The amount and variety of trash produced are rising at a pace that is unprecedented as urbanization and the world population continue to rise.
The relationship between humanity and the environment is a delicate balance. Since the industrial revolution, the world's population has increased exponentially, and with the population growth, the environment has been profoundly affected. Deforestation, pollution and global climate changes are amongst the adverse effects the population and technological expansion has introduced. Included in this category are both subjects dealing with attempts to reduce the negative impact on the environment, and subjects which aim to gain a greater understanding of the environment itself.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

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.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
8. Waste
Waste is the end-product
of poor use of our finite
natural resources.
9. Water
We use water for everything:
growing our food, making our
clothes, building our technology…
We’re using our reservoirs quicker
than they can be replenished.
10. Energy/
Emissions
Fossil fuels are harmful to the
environment and they’re running
low. Renewable sources are
generally cleaner and can continue
to provide for us.
11. Read on for 5 small ideas that
you can consider to make a
difference in your office:
So, what can we do?
13. How far has
this travelled?
Were the ingredients
farmed responsibly?
Bringing your lunch to work
allows you to make informed
choices about the food you eat.
16. Palm oil is in absolutely
everything from food and
household products, to
make-up, soaps and
other cosmetics.
17. 1950
Indonesia is currently the
biggest producer of palm
oil, having produced an
estimated 33,000,0001
tons in 2014.

Radday, M, WWF Germany. 2007. 'Borneo Maps'.
18. This industry is key to
the country’s economy.
The downside, however,
is the mass rainforest
deforestation.
Choose products made with
responsibly sourced palm oil;
save the rainforests and its
endangered inhabitants.

20. Producing meat uses a colossal
amount of water and energy. The
greenhouse gas output from the meat
industry is also extremely high.
21. Going meat-free, even if only a couple of days a week,
will significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

25. Technology is a very energy intensive
industry, both pre- and post-production.
Vast quantities of water are also used in
the production of our tech.
26. Consider also the rarity or toxicity of component
materials and the short lifespan of our devices,
and we realise the importance of knowing our
options before and after purchase.
30. Furniture should last longer, or be
repairable, making it cheaper in
the long run while reducing waste.
31. Buying second hand is often more cost effective, and is
arguably the best way to reduce resource consumption.
32. The benefits of this, however, mean nothing if
you’re shipping it halfway across the world.
33. If second-hand isn’t an option, then prolong the lifespan
of any new furniture. Choose something sustainably
sourced, good quality, repairable, and adaptable.
34. Annually in the UK, more than one billion kilograms of
waste furniture and mattresses are sent to landfill.1
> 1,000,000,000 kg
1 WasteDataFlow (WDF)
35. When choosing furniture, it’s also worth considering
VOCs. VOCs are Carbon-based gases that are given
off by chemicals used to make furniture.
Volatile Organic Compounds
36. Low VOC furniture will increase air quality in the
office environment and will likely be made from more
natural, environmentally friendly materials.
38. Fill your office with plants.
It’s probably one of the easiest
ways to make a difference.
39. Plants filter the air of many pollutants including
VOCs. They also regulate humidity, temperature,
and remove dust from the air.
40. Indoor plants have also been proven to reduce stress,
improve concentration and productivity, and increase
happiness.1
1 Kaplan R. (1992) The psychological benefits of nearby nature
10-15% increase
in productivity
41. Put these 5 things
into practice and you
can make a difference
to your office’s
environmental impact!
