How to be more ECO (Polonia) - Lemoni y Aleksandra
Millions of animals and plants die every year due to environmental pollution caused by the uncontrolled production of plastics, greenhouse gases, and water pollution, threatening the long-term habitability of the planet. Small changes like using reusable shopping bags, filter bottles, bee houses, and public transportation, buying secondhand clothes, and recycling can help reduce environmental impact. Going vegan is one of the biggest ways an individual can lower their carbon footprint by up to 73% since beef production causes significant environmental damage and uses far more land and water than other foods. Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle, not just a temporary diet, is important to understand how animal products affect health, the environment, and humanity.

How salt free water softener systems are eco-friendly
Salt-free water softener systems are more eco-friendly than traditional salt-based softeners for several reasons. Traditional softeners discharge salty wastewater, release salt into the water supply which can harm plants and appliances, and need frequent salt replacement. In contrast, salt-free systems eliminate wastewater discharge and salt contamination of water and land. They also do not require replacement of electronics and parts like traditional softeners do, and their cartridges only need replacing every 3-6 months instead of a constant salt supply. Additionally, salt-free softeners maintain beneficial minerals in the water unlike traditional softeners.
contamination
The document discusses the environmental impacts of single-use plastic water bottles and calls for switching to reusable bottles. It notes that plastic water bottles take over 1,000 years to biodegrade, 80% become litter, and their production requires over 1.5 million barrels of oil in the US alone each year. This harms both the environment and aquatic wildlife. The document advocates for reusable bottles as a safer alternative.
water
The document discusses the importance of safe drinking water for public health, especially in developing countries. It notes that water needs to be accessible, adequate, and free from contamination. It then provides background on water, describing its molecular composition, the different forms it takes on Earth, and where it can be found. The document outlines some key reasons why water is needed, including for bodily functions, industry, agriculture, and more. It recommends daily water intake amounts and notes that certain beverages like coffee should be avoided. Finally, it provides some tips for conserving water in homes, gardens, agriculture, and in general.
Making an impact
The document discusses ways individuals can reduce waste and their environmental impact. It notes that the average daily waste per person is 450 grams, reaching 620 grams in large cities. Short-lived climate pollutants like methane contribute to air quality and health issues. The document recommends individuals reduce meat consumption, carpool, digitally share files, reduce plastic and water usage, and properly segregate waste. It stresses that individuals should not feel their actions do not make an impact and that everyone must take steps to address climate change for the future of the planet.

Bottled water
Plastic water bottles have significant negative environmental impacts as 80% are not recycled and can take up to 1000 years to decompose. Americans use over 4 million plastic bottles per hour, contributing to the 46,000 pieces of plastic debris found in every square mile of ocean. Bottled water production requires significant resources like oil and generates greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to millions of cars or transatlantic flights. Tap water is more strictly regulated and tested than bottled water and has a much smaller environmental footprint. Choosing tap water over bottled water can help reduce one's water footprint and plastic waste.
Dangers of drinking bottled water
The document discusses the dangers of drinking bottled water. It notes that plastic water bottles contain chemicals that can leach into the water when stored, including antimony which is linked to health issues in high amounts.

Water conservation
Water conservation is important to address water shortages from drought or changes in water policy that limit supply, especially in areas dependent on water from other places. Drought is defined as an absence of rain in a region for a long period of time. The best way to conserve water is through rainwater harvesting since rain is the primary source of water on earth and covers 75% of the planet, though salt water filtration is not practical as desalination is expensive.
Water Conservation ppt presentation
Diti M. Jagawat of class VII C gave a presentation on water conservation. She explained that water conservation aims to reduce water usage by people, companies, organizations and governments as the fresh water on Earth is used faster than it can be replenished naturally. Some simple ways to conserve water included not letting the water run while washing dishes, only running the clothes washer and dishwasher when full, and upgrading appliances that waste water. If water is not conserved, it could lead to drought, desertification, disease and conflicts over water resources. The advantages of conserving water are that it ensures clean water, good aquatic life, cost savings and better health.

BRM
Plastic production has significantly increased over the last century and half of plastic produced is used only once and thrown away. Virtually all plastic ever made still exists today in some form. Plastic waste accounts for 10% of all trash and plastic production uses 8% of the world's oil. Small pieces of plastic pollution from degraded products can be found on beaches worldwide. Some compounds in plastics have potential human health effects by disrupting hormones. Reducing single-use plastics through reuse of bags, bottles and utensils as well as buying fewer packaged products can help reduce plastic waste.

All Rights Reserved Extending the Life of Produce According to the World Economic Forum, up to 50% of the food grown or produced for consumption is lost or wasted along the supply chain. With this in mind, Stephen Gould set out to create packaging that would be more sustainable, while extending the life of produce. Our trays are engineered to balance water absorption, needed to wick away excess moisture, and water retention, which is necessary to maintain the lushness of the produce. Compostable fiber solutions deliver farm fresh produce Veggies, Tomatoes and Berries, oh my! Unlike plastic, which can trap accumulated moisture and providing a place for bacteria to grow, our produce trays are manufactured to control moisture content, absorption and transmission. In addition, our biodegradable and compostable fiber trays are better for the environment. They reduce plastic consumption and improve common LCA metrics. “Our resealable fiber trays, allow consumers to see the freshness while eliminating up to 70% of the plastic used to package your product.” The secret to extending the life of produce is in maintaining the correct moisture conditions In accelerated testing environments, our most moisture resistant trays were able to withstand water soaks three times a day for over 8 weeks without fail.
