Selective Collection of Garbage

Selective Collection of garbage

The types of waste are divided into colors, so it is easier to distinguish and separate each material.

• Blue - Paper / Cardboard
• Yellow - Metal
• Green - Glass
• Red - Plastic

Then we separate all kinds of garbage to facilitate recycling so we can have a sustainable life.

Recycling Basics

Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling can benefit your community and the environment.

Benefits of Recycling

• Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators;
• Conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals;
• Prevents pollution caused by reducing the need to collect new raw materials;
• Saves energy;
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change;
• Helps sustain the environment for future generations;
• Helps create new well-paying jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries in the United States.

Steps to Recycling Materials

Recycling includes the three steps below, which create a continuous loop, represented by the familiar recycling symbol.

 Step 1: Collection and Processing

There are several methods for collecting recyclables, including curbside collection, drop-off centers, and deposit or refund programs.

After collection, recyclables are sent to a recovery facility to be sorted, cleaned, and processed into materials that can be used in manufacturing. Recyclables are bought and sold just like raw materials would be, and prices go up and down depending on supply and demand in the United States and the world.

 Step 2: Manufacturing

More and more of today's products are being manufactured with recycled content. Common household items that contain recycled materials include:

• newspapers and paper towels;
• aluminum, plastic, and glass soft drink containers;
• steel cans; and
• plastic laundry detergent bottles.

Recycled materials are also used in new ways such as recovered glass in asphalt to pave roads or recovered plastic in carpeting and park benches.

 Step 3. Purchasing New Products Made From Recycled Materials

By buying new products made from recycled materials you help close the recycling loop. There are thousands of products that contain recycled content. When you go shopping, look for:

• Products that can be easily recycled, and
• Products that contain recycled content.

Here are some of the terms used:

• Recycled-content product. This means the product was manufactured with recycled materials, either collected from a recycling program or from waste recovered during the normal manufacturing process. Sometimes the label will tell you how much of the content was from recycled materials.
• Postconsumer content. This is very similar to recycled content, but the material comes only from recyclables collected from consumers or businesses through a recycling program.
• Recyclable product. These are products that can be collected, processed and manufactured into new products after they have been used. These products do not necessarily contain recycled materials. Remember not all kinds of recyclables may be collected in your community so be sure to check with your local recycling program before you buy.

Some of the common products you can find that can be made with recycled content include:

• Aluminum cans
• Car bumpers
• Carpeting
• Cereal boxes
• Comic books
• Egg cartons
• Glass containers
• Laundry detergent bottles
• Motor oil
• Nails
• Newspapers
• Paper towels
• Steel products
• Trash bags

Problems have solutions: everything is conscience and citizenship!

        It is present in most Brazilian homes, serves to temper in some locations, in others to fry, but its end is usuallythe same: the drain of the sink or trash can. The villain of the environment which we speak of is the oil.

Vegetable oils, although many people don't know, cause much damage to my environment when disposed of improperly. Unfortunately is common in Brazil people to throw waste oil on the kitchen sink, but what these people do not know is that the oil is a great villain for water treatment and cleaning case boxes sewer not frequent, the flow of sewage barred by the back fat can residências.O liter of oil can pollute 1 million liters of water, and the quantity mean consumed in each family is 1.5 liters of oil per month. Ideally, we should separate waste oil e put him into plastic bottle for collection, because the waste oil can be reused in production of soap  stone, detergent, glass mass, biodiesel and even components for fertilizers. 

        Some cities in Brazil are investing in an appropriate destination for oil. Example that this gumption is working is the premiation of search about production of biofuels from waste oil, of University of São Paulo (USP). With the project "Jovens Embaixadores Ambientais", that envolve college students, schools and corporations, approximately 100 tons of waste oil one more time have a production destination: turning on a 100% renewable fuel.

Company recycling waste oil.

       Think about this and help the enviroment! Do your part by separating and encouraging others to separate waste oil!

Recycle, Reduce, Reuse

    Practice the three R's: First, reduce how much you use, reuse what you can, and then recycle the rest.
    Then, dispose of what's left in the most environmentally friendly way.

Reduce

• Buy permanent items instead of disposables.
• Buy and use only what you need.
• Buy products with less packaging.

Reuse

• Repair items as much as possible.
• Use durable coffee mugs.
• Use cloth napkins or towels.
• Reuse boxes.
• Purchase refillable pens and pencils.
• Donate extras to charity instead of throwing them away.

Recycle

• Recycle paper, plastic, glass bottles, cardboard, and aluminum cans.
• Recycle electronics.
• Recycle used motor oil.
• Compost grass and other yard clippings, and dead plants.
• Buy recycled products and products that use recycled packaging. That's what makes recycling economically possible.

It is important to remember that we as humans are part of the environment. With over 6 billion of us on Earth, our combined actions also have a big impact on the environment. However, at least we are aware of that impact. We can do things as individuals and we can find ways to work together to lessen the detrimental impacts of billions of people. Environmental science fair project ideas explore such topics as air quality, water quality, the effects of climate change, and many others.

Explore ways to reduce the impact we have on Earth with these environmental science fair project ideas. http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/Intro-Environmental-Science.shtml

Plastic Bags

Plastic bags: Understand the controversy, criticism and defense BH stopped pouring into the environment about 160 million little bags, according to researchTabitha Martins - Estado de MinasPosted: 25/06/2012 14:36 ​​Updated: 25/06/2012 17:20The sling has caused much controversy in plenary policies, on the internet and in Rio +20. But ultimately, the reason of so much discussion in relation to plastic bags? After a year and three months ban such material came into force, it is possible to present an overview of the changes.According to information from the Mining Association of Supermarket (Amis), Belo Horizonte stopped pouring into the environment 160 million units of disposable plastic bags in a year. If tied to each other, form a plastic strip of about 36 thousand kilometers long, almost enough to give one back on Earth, which has 40,023 km.A survey conducted in April this year by Amis shows that in Belo Horizonte using the disposable plastic bag became final consumer choice. Also according to the survey, 95% of the population that carries purchases at supermarkets uses returnable bag (made of TNT, for example), and others 2% use cardboard boxes to transport the goods.According to the Paulista Association of Supermarkets (Apas), the measure still had significantly reduced impacts on cities such as clogging of culverts, with consequent benefits for the population, especially the poorest layer impacted by the floods.ReviewsHowever, a recent study on global pollution shows that at least 80% of the detriments launched in the ozone layer are the responsibility of industries. This is one of the arguments used by those who criticize the measure and consider the law expressionless face the biggest polluters of the environment.On the internet, there are several videos of angry netizens who consider the law and an abuse and a form that supermarkets found to increase profits. Another argument discussed in the web is that the measure excludes only the bags, but did not prevent the use of packaging products also made of plastic. Watch it here.DefenseArnaldo Godoy, author of the bill banning the use of plastic bags in trade of mining capital, says that the main criticism came from the plastics industry, which has been trying to create arguments to counter due to declining profits. Godoy says that despite this, many manufacturers have tried to adapt to the bag biopolymer.To get an idea, the bags biopolymer, if disposed of in composting chambers, take 90 days to six months to disintegrate, while those from oil may take 300 years.But it is not only the disintegration process that damages the environment. The fact that the bag be biopolymer made from plant material, reduces the need for consumption of products derived from petroleum, a major pollutant of the Earth.To Godoy, these questions come from people are positive, because the debate can generate significant changes in the industrial and in different spheres. For 2014, it is expected the new law on solid waste and waste disposal that promises to move around industrial body.The Amis also highlights that with the IMPLEMENTATION of the law, there were economic benefits to the population as to reduce to a minimum the use of disposable plastic bags, the consumer has allowed supermarkets were spared the costs that had to acquire and distribute plastic Disposable packaging purchases. The little bags that were used before the law, and they were banned, had a unit cost of $ 0.01 to $ 0.03.Many supermarkets have come to use this economy to expand capacity to compete, especially in promotions. Data IPEAD / UFMG show that the basic food basket in Belo Horizonte cost R $ 263.70 in March 2011 (one month before the law of little bags) and in March 2012 (a year later) came to cost U.S. $ 260.32In some European countries, the proposal has achieved results even more significant for the environment, because the whole economy of the supermarkets must be reversed to a research fund in this regard.
