Water-Efficient Gardens: Still Not Convinced - Placer County Master Gardeners...
Water-efficient landscaping employs several design techniques to create landscapes that are water-wise, resource-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing. These techniques include proper plant selection and placement based on their water needs, limiting turf grass areas, using mulch, and maintaining efficient irrigation. While water-efficient landscapes may have some restrictions on plant choices, with creative design and regular maintenance focused on watering only where needed, homeowners can still achieve attractive, low-water yards. Those with community restrictions on landscaping should work with their association to allow for more flexible, sustainable designs.

Garbage
Garbage, also known as municipal solid waste, includes household, commercial, and industrial waste. It can be categorized as biodegradable, recyclable, inert, composite, and hazardous waste. Garbage poses environmental issues such as contaminating groundwater and using up landfill space. Many countries are trying to reduce waste through reuse, recycling, composting, and education programs to lessen these impacts. The United Arab Emirates generates a high amount of municipal solid waste per capita due to factors like population growth and lack of awareness, but is taking steps like privatization and recycling programs to minimize its effects.
Introduction to Garbage Collection
Garbage collection is a form of automatic memory management used in computer programs to reclaim memory occupied by objects that are no longer needed. John McCarthy invented garbage collection for Lisp in 1959. Languages either use garbage collection or require manual memory management through techniques like allocating and freeing memory. Common garbage collection algorithms include reference counting, mark and sweep, and generational collection. The Java Virtual Machine uses different garbage collectors like serial, parallel, concurrent mark and sweep, and Garbage First collectors to reclaim memory in the Java heap.

A team of 7 students conducted a study to analyze the existing solid waste system and identify opportunities for improvement. Through surveys and waste analysis, the team found that the campus generates approximately 567kg of solid waste per day. The waste was then separated into degradable and non-degradable categories. An experiment was conducted to compare composting of degradable waste with and without the use of Effective Microorganisms (EM). The results showed that the compost produced with EM had higher nutrient levels and was a better quality organic fertilizer.
