PROJECT - SAY NO TO PLASTIC BAGS DRIVE
Utkarsh Star Mitra Mandal (NGO) and the Ministry of Environment are collaborating on an environmental awareness campaign to distribute 1 crore cloth bags to citizens of Mumbai. The bags will be crafted by tribal communities in Maharashtra to provide them employment. Plastic bags are harmful as they release toxic chemicals into the soil and are often eaten by animals, killing over 100,000 each year. The campaign aims to educate people on alternatives to plastic bags like using eco-friendly bags and proper disposal of plastic waste to reduce pollution.
Say no to plastics
The document discusses the negative environmental impacts of plastic pollution. Plastics do not biodegrade and end up polluting oceans, waterways, and soil. Marine animals often ingest plastic bags mistaking them for food, which can kill them by blocking digestion. The production and disposal of plastic also uses large amounts of non-renewable oil resources and releases toxic chemicals. The document calls for reducing plastic use to help address these problems threatening ecosystems and human health.
Ban Plastic Bags
The 7th grade Breakfast Club at Davisville Middle School proposes banning plastic bags in North Kingstown to reduce their environmental impact. Through a program called Global Nomads, the club learned about plastic pollution issues and chose to address plastic bags for their community project. They conducted surveys that found most residents and stores support alternatives to plastic bags. The club suggests banning plastic bags, exempting some uses, educating residents, and implementing reusable bags to improve wildlife and the environment while reducing dependence on oil. They are willing to help educate the community and businesses to make North Kingstown the fourth town in Rhode Island to ban plastic bags.
Say No To Plastic!!
Thousands of marine animals and over 1 million birds die each year from plastic pollution. Approximately 380 billion plastic bags are used in the United States annually, more than 1,200 bags per person per year with less than 1% recycled. It costs $4,000 to process and recycle 1 ton of plastic bags which then sells for only $32. Using reusable bags can save hundreds of single-use plastic bags per lifetime and has significant environmental benefits as reusable bags are non-toxic, washable, and last for years.

Go Green Campaign (No Plastic Bag)
The document discusses a "Go Green" campaign to encourage reducing plastic bag usage. It notes that using reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags can save thousands of bags from being used and entering the environment over a lifetime. The negative effects of plastic bags are described, such as harm to wildlife from ingestion and entanglement. Solutions proposed include individual actions like using reusable bags, campaigns to raise awareness, stricter laws on companies, recycling, and reforestation efforts.
TRVST the last plastic straw. Chose eco-friendly straws or just say no to sin...
We create a huge amount of plastic each and every day a great deal of which is discarded. According to UK waste management body, WRAP, we get through 100 million tonnes of the stuff every year. That’s a 50% increase since the 1950s.
Certainly, straws are only a small part of the problem. Not least they are lightweight and small. However, they’ve also come to signify quite how wasteful we can be. Most of the time we don’t really need straws. The convenience of not having to bring a cup to our lips is certainly something that we could do without. There are of course exceptions, especially in certain physical and medical circumstances.
The thing with plastic straws is that they are not easily recycled. Their lightweight means that the big processing machines often don’t actually end up processing them even if they have made it into the recycling bin. They also often end up blowing out of bins or landfill into the surrounding nature or our oceans.
It’s said that we get through a staggering 500 million plastic straws in a day in the US. All those takeaway meals and cocktail served complete with plastic straws all add up.
Marine life is also negatively affected by our plastic straws use and disposal. The UN reports that more than 800 animal species are affected by marine debris.
Things are changing, however. The EU is banning single-use plastics by 2021. Even McDonalds are rolling our paper straws. So it’s time to finally bid the plastic straw farewell. There are now viable alternatives and choosing eco-friendly straws just makes sense. We have a lot more to do than simply worry about straws. All the same these highly visible single-use plastic suckers help raise awareness of plastic waste. And of course, each less straw washed up on our beaches or harming marine life is a good thing!

Banning plastic bag & bound shahriar july-2016
ESDO is a non-profit environmental organization founded in 1990 in Bangladesh dedicated to environmental conservation and advocacy. It launched the nation's first anti-plastic bag campaign, which involved nationwide awareness efforts and support from organizations and leaders. In the 1990s and 2000s, ESDO's campaign grew substantially and helped influence the government to recognize the issue and eventually ban plastic shopping bags in 2002 through new regulations. Today plastic waste like bags remains a major global problem, as trillions are used each year, many ending up as marine pollution harming wildlife and ecosystems. More solutions are still needed like reducing production and promoting reusable alternatives.
Plastics
This document discusses the growing problem of plastic pollution globally. It notes that over half of all plastic produced is single-use and outlines what happens to plastic waste: only 9% is recycled, 12% is incinerated, while 79% is dumped in landfills or the environment. This plastic pollution has dire consequences, with 100,000 marine animals killed by plastic annually. The document advocates reducing single-use plastic production and increasing reuse and recycling efforts to ultimately achieve the goal of having no plastic in the environment.
Plastic pollution & animals
Plastic pollution kills animals in two main ways: animals often mistake plastic for food and eat it, which can cause injury or death, and animals can also get trapped in plastic debris like six-pack rings, restricting their movement and potentially killing them. The health of the oceans is critical to all life on Earth as the oceans regulate greenhouse gases and provide food. Reducing single-use plastics by refusing top sources like bags, bottles, and straws and opting for reusable alternatives or supporting brands with recycled packaging can help address the plastic pollution problem.
Anti plastic campaign
Plastic has significant harmful effects on the environment. Over 100,000 marine animals are killed by plastic every year, either becoming entangled in plastic debris or mistaking it for food. Plastic is very slow to decompose and can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, accumulating in landscapes and oceans. The proliferation of plastic poses severe threats to wildlife and ecosystems.

It began in 1970 in the US, in response to increasing environmental damage, and has since grown into a worldwide event. The first Earth Day sparked major environmental reforms by mobilizing large protests and successfully advocating for new laws like the Clean Air and Water Acts. Today, Earth Day continues to promote environmental citizenship and encourage sustainable actions.
Beat plastic pollution-New 2018
World Environment Day 2018's theme is "Beat Plastic Pollution". Plastic is ubiquitous and has benefits like being lightweight and inexpensive but causes major pollution problems. India generates a large amount of plastic waste and it affects many species like birds, fish, turtles and coral reefs by ingestion, entanglement, or blocking sunlight. Plastic pollution also transfers toxic chemicals into the food chain and human health. Individual actions like refusing single-use plastics and encouraging alternatives can help reduce plastic pollution.

Ban on plastic
Plastic pollution is a major global problem. Hundreds of billions of plastic bags are consumed yearly but less than 1% are recycled, and they persist in the environment for centuries. Plastic kills and harms wildlife, pollutes oceans and waterways, and poses health risks. Many countries and cities have implemented bans and taxes on disposable plastics to encourage alternatives and clean up efforts.
Single-use plastic: how to combat?
Single-use plastic pollution has become a huge concern and requires attention world-wide. We need to fight plastic pollution starting from the individual level by changing our attitude. Here are some tips to combat single-use plastic pollution.
The Dangers Of Plastic Bags
Hundreds of billions of plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year, with less than 1% being recycled. Plastic bags end up polluting oceans and landscapes, harming wildlife. Over 200 sea species are known to die from ingesting plastic bags or becoming entangled in them. To reduce plastic bag usage, many countries and cities have implemented bans or taxes on plastic bags, which has led to dramatic usage decreases as high as 90% in some places. Reducing plastic bag consumption would help decrease dependence on foreign oil.

Plastic bags have a significant negative environmental impact. They are derived from petroleum and their production and disposal damages ecosystems. Less than 1% are recycled, as it is more costly to recycle plastic bags than produce new ones. Discarded plastic bags can be deadly to over 100,000 animals per year who ingest or become entangled in them. They persist in the environment for up to 500 years and accumulate in ocean garbage patches like the North Pacific Gyre. Alternatives to plastic bags exist but are more expensive, so reducing plastic bag use through regulations and personal choices can help mitigate their ecological effects.

Project 4 yushan shi
Plastic pollution is a major problem worldwide. Over 500 billion plastic bags are used each year, and it can take plastic bags up to 1000 years to degrade. Plastic waste ends up in oceans, where it is ingested by various marine animals and bird species, causing injury and death. A market-based solution of charging a nominal fee per plastic bag has been shown to significantly reduce plastic bag usage in places where it was implemented. While plastic bag bans aim to address the issue, they fail to solve the root problem and may shift production to other materials like paper bags that also have environmental impacts. An effective solution needs to discourage wasteful plastic bag use while not banning them outright.

plastic awareness.pdf
Plastic poses significant threats to the environment and human life. It pollutes oceans and beaches, kills over 100,000 sea animals annually who mistake plastic for food, and takes up to 1000 years to degrade. Its production involves toxic chemicals that can cause cancer. Exposure to plastic during recycling can cause health issues. While governments work on solutions, small individual efforts like using reusable bags and recycling plastic can help address the problem.
Boot the bag
This document discusses the negative environmental impacts of plastic bags. It notes that plastic bags are made from non-renewable resources like petroleum and take up to 1,000 years to degrade in landfills. Each year, thousands of marine animals die from plastic pollution, including over 1 million birds that ingest plastic bags which break down into toxic pieces. Using reusable cloth or recycled bags instead of plastic bags can eliminate up to 6 plastic bags per week and over 1 trillion plastic bags in total if more Americans switch to reusable options.
PLASTICS POLLUTION.pdf
This document discusses plastics pollution and the history, production, and effects of plastic. It notes that plastic is made from polymers derived from petroleum and coal and is very slow to degrade. The document outlines the chemicals involved in different plastic types and products. It describes how plastic pollution harms wildlife and the environment when littered or burned. The document also discusses the health impacts of plastic production, use, and disposal and proposes awareness campaigns and clean-up efforts to help address the issue of plastic pollution.
Plastics
Plastic poses significant environmental problems. It is made from polymers that do not degrade and can persist in the environment for centuries. When plastic litter ends up in oceans and waterways, it kills over 100,000 marine animals every year either through ingestion or entanglement. Plastic bag litter also pollutes landscapes worldwide. While recycling aims to reduce plastic waste, the recycling process itself can release toxic fumes and harm workers. Small actions like using reusable tote bags and reducing single-use plastic can help address this global issue. Government regulations and individual responsibility are both important to lessen the environmental impact of plastics.
Bizymoms Plastic Bags
Plastic bags have severe negative environmental impacts on land, sea, and sky. Over 500 billion plastic bags are used globally each year, and they can persist in the environment for up to 1000 years. Plastic bags pollute oceans and lands, harm wildlife, and damage ecosystems. However, small actions like refusing plastic bags and opting for reusable cloth bags can help reduce plastic bag usage and environmental damage. Everyone must work to solve the global plastic bag pollution problem by changing individual habits and choices.
Bizymoms Plastic Bags
- Plastic bags have become ubiquitous globally with an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion used each year, but they persist in the environment for up to 1000 years, accumulating as litter and pollution.
- Plastic bags have severe environmental impacts on land, sea, and sky by entangling and being ingested by wildlife, clogging waterways, releasing toxic chemicals when burned, and damaging ecosystems.
- Many countries and jurisdictions have implemented policies like bans, taxes, and fees on plastic bags to reduce consumption and encourage reusable alternatives like cloth bags.
Plastic pollution
The document discusses plastics, their history, types, and environmental impacts. It provides details on common plastic polymers, how plastics are made, and their uses in various industries. The summary discusses the negative effects of plastic pollution, how plastics do not degrade and release toxic chemicals when burned. It also notes that only a small percentage of plastics are recycled due to the labor intensive process.
PAFdraft2
Plastics became popular after World War II due to increased production. In the US, 50 billion plastic bottles are used every year while worldwide, 1 million plastic bags are used every minute. However, only 5-10% of plastic is recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills, as litter, or in the oceans. In the oceans, plastic accumulates in gyres and harms wildlife that ingest it or gets entangled in it. Plastic production and waste is an issue that needs individual and policy solutions to reduce plastic use and increase recycling and bioplastics.

ALTERNATIVE AND EFFECTS OF PLASTIC
Plastics are synthetic polymers that are durable, lightweight and inexpensive materials. However, they persist in the environment for centuries and have caused widespread pollution. Only a small percentage of plastics are recycled each year, with the rest accumulating in landfills and oceans. This poses threats to wildlife through entanglement and ingestion of plastic debris. Reducing plastic use and improving waste management strategies are needed to curb further environmental damage.
Building sciense task 1
1) The document discusses a group project created by architecture students on the topic of global warming. The group created a reusable handbag made from recycled plastic bottles, caps, and fabrics to raise awareness of plastic pollution's contribution to global warming.
2) The handbag is durable and functional as a reusable bag to promote the environmental message. It is made from various plastic bottle parts as well as fabrics for the handle to utilize all parts of discarded plastic materials.
3) The students' reflective essays discuss learning about plastic pollution's role in climate change and realizing how individual daily choices impact the environment. They felt the project increased their environmental awareness and commitment to sustainability.

What if ? - Mind blogging science questions
The document discusses hypothetical scenarios of what would happen if the Earth stopped spinning, had no moon, was square-shaped, or lost oxygen for 5 seconds. It states that if the Earth stopped spinning, days would last a year with 3 months of darkness, and strong winds would sweep everything away. Without a moon, tides would decrease and seasons and day lengths would change. If the Earth were square, gravity would pull all water and air to the centers of each face. Losing oxygen for 5 seconds would cause sunburns, dark skies, ear explosions, concrete turning to dust, and ocean evaporation.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

International plastic bag free day
- 1. International Plastic Bag Free Day was created by Bag Free World. It was created as a worldwide initiative for the purpose of getting rid of the single-use of plastic bags around the world. It is all about promoting environmental conservation by encouraging us all to stay away from the use of plastic bags and instead look for more eco-friendly alternatives.
- 2. Do you know – According to Zero Waste Europe “If the world does not stop production altogether, in 30 years' time the weight of plastic bags thrown into the seas and oceans will exceed that of all creatures living in them.”
- 3. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) was invented in 1953. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) was invented in 1953 by Karl Ziegler and Erhard Holzkamp. Since most plastic bags are now made from HDPE, this was a major step forward in creating the modern plastic bag. Ziegler was even awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize for Chemistry because of this invention!
- 4. Plastic bags were first introduced in 1965.
- 5. On average, plastic bags are used for 25 minutes and 1 million plastic bags are in used around the world every minute.
- 6. It takes between 100 to 500 years for a plastic bag to disintegrate (depending on the type of plastic).
- 7. The average European uses about 500 plastic bags per year yet Europeans support a ban on single-use plastic bags.
- 8. 80% of marine litter is plastic.
- 9. 3.4 million tonnes of plastic carrier bags are produced in the Europe every year. Equals to the weight of more than two million cars!
- 10. Plastic Bag Free Day is a global initiative that aims to eliminate the use of single-use plastic bags in the world. As Single-use plastic bags are: BAD FOR THE PLANET: They take 100s of years to degrade and they not only pollute the environment but actually directly harm many living organisms. UGLY & EXPENSIVE: Producers don’t take responsibility for the impact of their product. Plastic bags are cheap to produce but very expensive to clean from the environment. MADE OF CRUDE OIL e.g. finite resource. GET INTO THE FOOD CHAIN: in the form of pulverized plastic waste in the sea gets into the food chain
- 11. Let’s take a pledge to ban plastic around the world.
- 12. THANK YOU
