The current situation of solid waste management in Syria faces many challenges. Cities produce large amounts of solid waste daily that exceed their abilities to manage. Existing landfills are generally unregulated dumps and require rehabilitation. There is a lack of financial resources, proper infrastructure, and trained staff for effective solid waste management. Some cities have worked with international organizations on projects like transfer stations, composting plants, and landfill rehabilitation. However, more comprehensive and sustainable solutions are still needed across Syria to properly collect, treat, and dispose of solid waste.

Kievan Rus′ was the early, mostly East Slavic state dominated by the city of Kiev from about 880 C.E. to the middle of the twelfth century. People speaking East Slavic dialects were known from the ninth century as Rus (also referred to as ancient Russians or Ruthenians). Later, they diverged into three major nations—modern Belarusians, Russians, and Ukrainians, and also into several minor ethnic groups, including Carpatho-Ruthenians. From the historiographical point of view, Kievan Rus' is considered a predecessor state of three modern East Slavic nations: Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The reigns of Vladimir the Great (980-1015) and his son Yaroslav I the Wise (1019-1054) constitute the Golden Age of Kiev, which saw the acceptance of Orthodox Christianity and the creation of the first East Slavic written legal code, the Russkaya Pravda.

A VISION FOR FUTURE SLUDGE MANAGEMENT IN ALEXANDRIA ( Egypt)Helalley Helalley
After full operation of secondary treatment at the East and West treatment plants, the future production of sludge from these plants and from Amriya and Agamy secondary treatment plants in addition to the rest 14 secondary treatment plants all around Alexandria is expected to exceed than 1200 m3/d by 2015 thus the capacity if the sludge disposal site should exceed. Therefore, the future sewage sludge management represents a critical environmental issue in Alexandria, this management includes sludge dewatering, handling, transportation cost to the disposal sites and the final product marketing.
As the capacity of Alexandria sludge disposal system will be limited by the increase in sludge production and the current management system, there is an immediate need to investigate ways to establish a future management system and to demonstrate successful operations at higher sludge producing rates.
Currently, Site 9N the sole disposal site in Alexandria include a composting plant established when the site was initially developed as a dedicated disposal area for sludge. Consequently, land spreading of the sludge on the dedicated disposal area has ceased and all of the current production of raw sludge is now being composted using the turned windrow technique.
The present study aims to evaluate the current efficiency of the sludge management system and adopt a future vision for the Alexandria sludge system and recommend modifications to protect public health and environment.

The dandora dumpsite in nairobi city; status, challenges and way forwardcaxtonk2008
The Dandora dumpsite handles all the wastes generated by Nairobi City, East Africas’ largest and most populous City. It is located 8 KMs from the citys’ central business district. The dumpsite measures 26.2 Hectares and has been in operation for over thirty years. The dumpsite receives over 1500 tonnes of waste on a daily basis of which forms a less than half of Nairobis’ total generated waste.
Started in the 1970S’ by Nairobi City council, the site was initially a quarry. It was therefore established with the intention of filling up and eventually rehabilitating the quarry. However the dumpsite has been in operation for a period that far exceeds the ten to fifteen year limit set by international laws for the use of a dumpsite. It has thus ended up becoming a humanitarian nightmare especially for the surrounding communities, although it is considered by a blessing by those who depend on it for a living.
The dumpsite is surrounded by various residential estates including: Dandora, Baba Ndogo, Kariobangi and Korogocho of which is Nairobi Citys’ fourth largest slum. These estates harbor a population of over a million people and this is growing fast fuelled by among other factors the high urban immigration common in Africa.
Dumping at the site goes on due to lack of an alternative site and the interest of the dumpsite beneficiaries who are totally against its relocation. Attempts to move it has been strongly opposed by those benefiting from it. Attempts to move it to Ruai on the outskirts of Nairobi was strongly opposed by the community around the area who felt this was an attempt to dump the problem on them. Various solutions have been suggested including establishment of a semi aerobic land fill currently being piloted and establishment of thermal electricity generation plant among others.
The Dandora dumpsite continues to pose great threats to humanity. This is due to the fact that that the dumpsite has outlived its lifespan and overpassed its capacity. The activities in the dumpsite are not effective or efficient in dealing with the high amount of waste generated by in its source area. Attempts to address the situation continue to hit dead ends despite the many existing opportunities and developed plans.
Despite the many challenges that abound an alternative site needs to be urgently identified and modern recycling methods put into use. The plight of the separators operating at the dumpsite also needs to be addressed to ensure that solutions adopted don’t marginalize them and negate their great dependency on this malpractice. The participation of the people in the process of better waste management is also imperative
Strategic Analysyis Of Alternatives For Waste Management In Valle De Aburrá 2008Enrique Posada
Strategical analysis is proposed as a tool for correct solid waste handling planning in a large city, such as Medellín. Four alternatives are compared and the ones favoring recycling and education are shown to be more beneficial, even from the economical point of view
There is significant increase in solid waste generation over the last decade in Jamaica; this is largely as a result of population growth and to an extent economic growth within the country. The per capita municipal solid waste generation is approximately 1 kg across the island. Municipal solid waste generation on the island has increased from 240,748 tons in 2011 to 290,501 tons in 2012. This can be ascribed to changing lifestyles, food habits and change in living standards.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

The administrative state
for solid waste management
There is no limited administrative division for solid waste
management in Syrian units ,
Damascus governorate has formed specialized directorate in
managing solid waste while waste management in ( Aleppo,
Homs , Lattakia ,Hama , Tartous ,and others cities ) is done by
cleaning department follow to the president of city council
directly or to health affairs directorate .
14. 14
Technical state
of solid waste management
Produced quantity of solid waste varies according
to the population and the economical activities in
Syrian units.
Damascus and Aleppo are considered the most
generated cities for waste , each city produce
more than 1000 tones daily.
Each person in Syria produce about ½ k.g daily.
Almost waste are collected through more than one
shift daily.
22. 22
Landfills state
in the Syrian administrative units
The common way to get rid of solid waste is to throw
it irregular landfills .
Some cities cover wastes by soil.
There are fences around landfills of Damascus ,Homs
, and Idleb only.
.
43. 43
The financial of solid waste management
The administrative units depend on cleaning fees to finance
solid waste management ,
this fees are ( 75 – 500 ) s.p per house.
All this fees cover only a small part of collecting and
disposing of the waste budget so this units almost depend on
there common budget
