Recycling saves resources, energy, and prevents pollution. Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for three hours. In 2013, Americans recycled 87.2 million tons of materials, equivalent to removing 39 million cars from roads. Jefferson Parish offers single-stream curbside recycling weekly and drop-off sites for additional items. Recycling participation rates have increased across Jefferson Parish routes between 2016 and 2017.

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.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
2. Why Recycle?
Recycling:
Saves resources
Saves energy
Prevents pollution
Aluminum recycling saves 95% of energy that would be
used if the aluminum was made from raw materials.
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run
your television for three hours. Source: Keep America Beautiful
3. Recycling Facts
Recycling one ton of paper saves up to 17 trees,
7,000 gallons of water, and 3.3 cubic yards of landfill
space.
In 2013, Americans recycled and composted 87.2
million tons of materials. This prevented emissions
from being released, equivalent to removing 39 million
passenger vehicles from the road for a year. Source: EPA
11. What does China have to do with it?
• Operation Green Fence
• Banned imports of 24 kinds of solid waste
• Nearly half of Americas recycled bottles were sent to China
• No longer a market for plastics #3-7

Hello and thank you for joining me today. My name is Rachel Skowyra and I am the recycling coordinator at Waste Connections. Waste Connections is the garbage and recycling hauler for Jefferson Parish.
Our trucks pick up your curbside recycling and bring them to the MRF (materials recovery facility) in Metairie. The MRF is owned by Republic Services. The materials are sorted by machine. A big turbine with large slots spins all the materials. Plastic, metal, and other small pieces fall through the holes. Paper and cardboard are caught and separated. The other materials, which fall through the holes, drop onto a conveyor belt. The materials all pass under a large magnet that attracts the metal. The rest of the materials continue to a picker station. Several workers are lined up to pull the recyclable plastic from the line. The rest of the material lands in a dumpster. The dumpster, once full of trash, is transported to the landfill.
Paper, cardboard, and paperboard are recyclable. Wax board is not recyclable. Wax board is used mainly for cartons (orange juice, soy milk, etc.) This is not recyclable because the wax is unable to be separated from the paperboard.
All water and soda bottles are recyclable. Gatorade bottles are also recyclable. Milk jugs and MOST laundry detergent bottles are recyclable. Aluminum cans, tin cans, and all other metal is recyclable.
Paper towels, napkins, tissues, toilet paper, and paper cups are not recyclable. Some of these items are compostable. If you are interested in composting, please let me know, and I will be happy to put you in contact with somebody knowledgeable on that subject.
Styrofoam is not recyclable. Though it has a recycling triangle on it, it is not accepted in New Orleans. There are only a handful of facilities in the U.S. that recycle Styrofoam. It can, however, be reused. Some packing and shipping stores will take your Styrofoam, packing peanuts, and even those are bags. Visit www.epspackaging.org or ask me for more information.
Glass is not recyclable in this area because there is not a MRF that accepts it. Glass can break and contaminate other recyclable materials. It can also be very dangerous for the drivers and hoppers to handle.
China has acted as the “world’s recycler” for the past 20 years. When China exports products the America and other countries, those empty shipping containers are then filled with bales of recyclable materials, which China would use to produce new products. China imported 7.3 million tons of recyclable materials in 2016 alone. Due to the poor quality of many of these bales, and the fact that trash was from their own residents was beginning to build up, the Chinese government created “Operation Green Fence.” The regulations were actually drafted back in 2011 and some shipments had been rejected from that point until 2018. However, beginning January 1, 2018, the regulations started to be enforced more strictly. China now bans the import of 24 kinds of solid waste (including unsorted paper and the low-grade polyethylene terephthalate used in plastic bottles). The recycling market here in America has been greatly impacted by these regulations. Many processing facilities around the country now have parking lots full of baled recyclables with nowhere to go. The MRF in Metairie no longer processes plastics #3-7. We will pick them up from your household and bring them to the MRF, but once they go through the machines and the pickers, these materials inevitably end up in a dumpster and are shipped to the landfill. There is no value in these materials at this time. Waste Connections must continue to take these materials due to our contact with Jefferson Parish. Legal measures must be taken in order to amend the contract.
