A SUSTAINABLE LIFE
Little changes in daily habits can help achieve a more sustainable planet. The "three R's" approach of reduce, reuse, and recycle can be applied at home and in the office. At home, saving energy by using efficient light bulbs and turning off appliances when not in use can help. Saving water by fixing leaks and taking shorter showers also contributes. In the office, setting printers to double-sided printing and refilling cartridges reduces waste.
The Important of Variety of Earth's Resources to Man
The document defines preservation as keeping resources in their original state and conservation as the wise use of natural resources for current and future generations. It then lists several importance of preservation and conservation such as preventing environmental destruction, maintaining nature's balance, and protecting flora and fauna from extinction. The document also provides ways to carry out preservation and conservation like reusing materials, recycling, reducing resource use, educating society, and enforcing laws. It further discusses the three R's - reduce, reuse, and recycle and provides examples for each.
What happens to our trash?
Trash and garbage are collected and taken to landfills for disposal. At landfills, some materials are separated for recycling. Plastics, metals, paper, and glass can be recycled, while organic waste and other materials break down over time. However, some materials like plastic bags and bottles may take hundreds of years to degrade. Recycling helps reduce environmental impacts like cutting down of trees, reduction of water sources, and loss of land to garbage. People can help by reducing disposable items, reusing materials, and choosing products with less packaging to create less trash.
Solid waste reduce, recycle and reuse
This document discusses waste management strategies focused on reducing, reusing, and recycling (the 3 Rs). It notes that as a nation we are generating more garbage and running out of landfill space. The 3 Rs approach aims to reduce waste at the source, find ways to reuse items to prevent waste, and recycle materials that can't be reduced or reused. Specific examples are given of items that can be reduced, reused, or recycled to help address the growing waste problem and its threats to health, safety, and the environment.
It Is Easy Being Green
Reducing consumption, reusing items, and recycling are the most effective ways to help the environment. Reducing means using less and avoiding unnecessary purchases which saves money and natural resources. Reusing prolongs the life of items and recycling converts used materials into new products. Together, the three R's can significantly decrease waste sent to landfills and reduce pollution from production of new goods. If everyone practiced reducing, reusing, and recycling, the amount of waste produced globally would be greatly diminished.
Save environment
The document outlines an environmental policy for an organization that focuses on:
1. Conserving energy through reducing usage and keeping the campus clean.
2. Properly disposing of waste in an environmentally friendly way such as burning or dumping.
3. Using biodegradable and recycled materials where possible.
It also provides tips individuals can take to help the environment such as switching off computers when not in use, using both sides of paper, taking shorter showers to conserve water, and using public transportation to reduce emissions.
