The majority of Americans admit to littering in the past 5 years. Billions of tons of litter end up in oceans each year, with plastic bags taking over 20 years to decompose and aluminum cans taking hundreds of years. Littering is illegal but can be controlled through community involvement like starting anti-littering clubs in schools, making posters, and educating others on recycling and the dangers of littering to the environment.

CDEC - poverty symposium, 27 June 2014
This document discusses poverty in the UK and education for global learning. It notes that poverty has doubled in British households over the past 30 years, with 1 in 3 people unable to properly heat their homes or eat healthily. The director of CDEC advocates for global learning in schools to build understanding of interdependence and empower students to take action on poverty. CDEC's EU-funded project aims to increase teacher confidence in global topics and student understanding of links between Europe, developing regions, and poverty's causes to motivate collaborative action for a fairer world.

educology powerpoint
This document discusses the concept of "educology," which applies ecological principles to education. It argues that current levels of educational attainment and resource consumption in developed nations are unsustainable. Some key points made include:
1) Classroom learning can distance children from nature; environmental education teaches respect for the environment.
2) The exporting of developed world education models strips away local languages, cultures and relationships with the environment.
3) Educational systems could learn from ecology by avoiding production line models, thinking globally but educating locally, embracing cooperation over competition, and embracing technologies for their educational value rather than as ends in themselves.
4) An educological perspective values wasting no learning, learning slowly,

It emphasizes thinking boldly about possible futures and outlines next steps to develop a North Star output.
Stop littering & Clean India
Littering is improperly disposing of rubbish without consent. The main causes of littering in India are laziness, lack of awareness, and not caring about the environment. When asked, common excuses for littering include that the area is already dirty or the trash cans are full. The consequences of littering include attracting vermin, endangering wildlife, and costing taxpayers money to clean up. While some blame the government, individuals need to change their mentality and stop littering to improve the cleanliness of India. A pledge to not litter can help drive positive change.
Pre littering
This document discusses solutions to littering. It proposes making recycling fun and appealing through technology like bins that play sounds when litter is deposited.

Littering Isn't Healthy
Littering is bad for both human and environmental health. When litter ends up in storm drains, it can pollute nearby rivers and oceans, making the water unsafe for drinking and recreation. The city spends millions cleaning up litter annually. Individuals can help address littering by properly disposing of their own trash, encouraging others not to litter, and picking up any litter they see. Non-profit organizations like Greenpeace work to confront environmental issues and champion sustainable solutions. Celebrities Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have supported recycling efforts through housing projects and donations.
Litter
The document proposes two ideas to reduce litter at the school. The first idea is to place colored and numbered bins in each classroom and record the amount of different types of rubbish collected each day to award the class with the most points a prize at the end of 5 weeks. The second idea is to replace the bins around the school with animal-shaped bins to make rubbish disposal more appealing to students and fundraise to pay for the new bins.
Environmental Management Module 1
The document discusses environmental management and provides definitions. It defines environmental management as the management of human interaction with and impact on the environment. It also discusses carrying capacity, environmental resources, pollution, and environmental management systems. Specifically, it defines an environmental management system as the management of an organization's environmental programs in a comprehensive and planned manner. It also outlines the 17 requirements of the ISO 14001:2004 standard for environmental management systems.
Work Study
Work study involves analyzing work methods and equipment used to perform jobs in order to design optimal work methods and standardize proposed methods. It aims to systematically analyze current work processes to develop more efficient methods that improve productivity and reduce costs. Key techniques of work study include method study, work measurement, time study, and motion study. The overall goal is to establish performance standards and design work systems that maximize efficiency and minimize waste of resources.

Planet aid annual Report2012
In 2012 Planet Aid celebrated its 15th year of operation.
When we started back in 1997 we had just a few dozen or so drop-off boxes in the Boston area, collecting several thousand pounds of clothes a week. Today, our operations
reach across 22 states. In 2012 alone we collected 110 million pounds of clothing from 18,000 collection bins that we own and operate. Our growth is a testament to the hard work of our staff and the help received from our many supporters.
Every day, more businesses, schools and community groups choose to host Planet Aid bins, helping to make recycling more convenient for all and saving valuable resources.

This document discusses the environmental problems caused by plastic pollution in oceans. Some key points:
- Human consumption of plastic is high and causing pollution that harms ocean ecosystems and enters the food chain. The packaging industry produces the most plastic waste.
- Scientists estimate billions of plastic straws pollute coastlines worldwide. Over 320 million tonnes of plastic have been produced that is projected to double by 2034. This excessive pollution creates dead zones in the oceans.
- Marine life such as fish, birds, whales, and turtles ingest or get entangled in plastic causing injury and death. Plastic transfers up the food chain and has been found in one third of fish for human consumption.

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.
What Comes After Shopping
The document discusses strategies for reducing waste and fighting climate change in New York City. It notes that NYC generates 6 million tons of waste per year but only recycles 17% and aims to divert 90% of waste from landfills by 2030. However, the city is facing challenges in expanding recycling and organics collection. The document advocates addressing these issues by bringing industry stakeholders into the solution, aligning policies with waste reduction goals, and encouraging New Yorkers to reduce consumption and share resources through items libraries, tool sharing, and other community initiatives.
