Text about waste management
What do you know about global warming? We often speak about extreme weather like hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods… and discuss some possible reasons that cause them. We spoke about poor African countries and we all understand that clean water is as much a human right as voting in an election. But people still cut down forests, pollute the environment, use natural resources without economy. Let us see a small presentation about environment pollution and after that we will speak about some strategic plans we can do to save our planet.

What exactly is "waste?"
Waste is anything we throw away or get rid of, that doesn’t get used.

How can you help?
You can help by learning about and practicing the three R's of waste management: Reduce, reuse, and recycle.






Reduce/Reduction: to make something smaller or use less, resulting in a smaller amount of waste.
•             First and foremost, buy and use less! Buy only what you need and use all of what you buy. Or when you don’t need something, pass it to other people who can continue using it.

•             Start making wise "package" selections. Plastic is a material that is difficult to recycle. So when you buy something make sure it comes only in one package or box. 






•             If you drink from plastic bottles you won’t help the planet. Drink juice from a glass bottle.
•             A homemade sandwich is better for you and for the environment.
•             Start a garden. Food that you grow yourself does not have to be "processed" or "packaged", and no fossil fuels are needed to get it to the shop and then to your house.
•             Start a compost to transform your household garbage (food wastes, coffee grounds, etc.), into a rich earth-like material that can be added to a garden to help plants grow. Grass, leaves, paper, and some other types of food can naturally turn into compost. 





• If you have a bath you will use about 90 litres of water but only 30 litres when you have a shower.













Your recycling mission is not impossible! In fact, it is very simple:
Don't throw away anything that can be recycled!

Here is a list of things you may be able to recycle
  • Aluminum cans 
  • Cardboard
  • Electronic equipment
  • Glass (particularly bottles and jars)
  • Magazines
  • Metal
  • Newspaper
  • Paper
  • Plastic Bags
  • Plastic Bottles
  • Steel Cans
  • Writing/Copy Paper
  • Yard Waste (leaves, grass)
