The document discusses the health and environmental hazards of plastic bags and containers. It recommends replacing plastic with more sustainable materials like glass, bamboo, and stainless steel for food storage and packaging. Plastic bags contain toxic chemicals like xylene, ethylene oxide and benzene that pollute the air and water if plastic bags are burned or thrown away improperly. These chemicals can harm humans, animals and the environment.
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.
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.
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.
Plastics are polymers that are versatile, durable and inexpensive but also pose environmental challenges. They are non-biodegradable and accumulate as waste, polluting land and oceans. While recycling reduces environmental impacts, plastics must often be of identical composition to mix efficiently during recycling. Individual actions like reducing single-use plastics, reusing materials, and choosing recyclable packaging can help address the growing problem of plastic waste. The document examines both the benefits of plastics and initiatives people can take to protect the environment from plastic pollution.
The document discusses the harms of plastic bag usage and provides suggestions to reduce plastic consumption. It notes that less than 1% of plastic bags are recycled, they take up to 1000 years to degrade, and producing new bags is cheaper than recycling them. Plastic bags harm wildlife when ingested and pollute oceans. Alternatives suggested include bringing reusable cloth bags when shopping and using newspapers instead of plastic to wrap books. The document encourages readers to reduce their plastic use and spread awareness of the issue.
The document discusses a school's campaign to reduce plastic waste by saying no to plastic covers. The school decided that everyone must stop using and buying plastic covers. Instead, students are encouraged to bring bags from home and not throw them away. The school hopes that a continuous campaign will bring about change in the local area.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
