Introduction For many years Lebanon has been struggling to find and eco friendly solution for the garbage crisis. Lebanese people started being aware of the pile of garbage dumped on landfills. With the government not finding a good solution protest from Lebanon went on the street asking the government to find a good way to take care of the garbage. The government responded but it was a solution that would harm the environment. Protester

Then, the bottles are sorted and then crushed into small pieces then it is compressed into thin sheets, which are used to create new bottles but, this does not come cheap. Lebanon pays 216 million dollars just to create new bottles but, this does not come cheap. they could build and keep a recycling factory running with only 20-30% of how much they sukleen. Our engineering goals for our project is to create a functional vending machine that citizens would put there water bottles inside to get vouchers which will convince people to recycle more by putting there water bottles inside our vending machine. When people put their water bottles in the vending machine it will drop out vouchers from different stores. We got this idea by simply looking. By looking at the world around us and noticing the pollution are us. Especially Lebanon since the garbage is now one of the biggest problems that we have (us being Lebanese citizens) We realised that we had to find a way to change it. What we hope to achieve during this project is to create a machine that can promote people to recycle by giving them a reward for recycling. Our idea is to create a vending …show more content…

The Indian River Lagoon is a beauty to Florida, and a natural landscape, but, it is at risk from pollution. Chemicals, algae blooms, and harmful things that humans do to pollute it, it also puts the animals living in the lagoon at risk of dying, and becoming endangered. The causes of the Indian River Lagoon take effect greatly. Freshwater is also very important, it is a vital life source. There are harmful chemicals from pesticides, fertilizers, impacts this problem a lot.
This project was a lot harder then my family and I ever expected it to be. At first we thought it would be good and we would feel better about not wasting and not having as much trash. But after a couple of days we noticed that we couldn’t do a lot of things we normally do like wipe our hands on a napkin or use a straw to drink at a resturaunt. We as a whole had to make a lot of changes like making our foods the night before and bringing clean towels with us everywhere we went. This project has really made us open our eyes to see what we were actually doing to hurt our environment just by going through our daily routine.
The thing that I reacted to the strongest about was when the people were able to light their water on fire because of all the natural gas and chemicals in it. Imagine putting that into your body and yet these companies think that it is absolutely harmless to the environment and people. Another thing that caught my attention was how cattle and animals were affected
If officials took no action, they went to local entities asking for change, and if there was still no response they moved to nonviolent demonstrations; however, before they would protest, they would self reflect and prepare themselves for the abuse they would receive and not
Films are a great way of communicating a message to the viewers. One of the most controversial topics conveyed is politics and for this reason, Mr Smith Goes to Washington is a movie that explores the American political system through the life of Senator Jefferson Smith a newly elected politician. He comes out as a radical after realising that he cannot serve the interest of those who elected him to the government. The director of the film explores a radical sense ideological spectrum through a character who maintains integrity in the midst of harsh criticism in the political system. The director is radical trying to anger the political class and then win acclaim from the public.

“Behind every great fortune is a crime.” The nature of the world we live in and the art industry are complex. Being an artist is a tough job. Well-known artists usually get a lot of media attention on any regular basis while some up-and-coming artists, get little or no such attention. Therefore, artist are always competing among themselves to come up with the best work to captivate people, stay on top, make a name for themselves and also a living allowance.
Imagine living in a world where the air is polluted and most people are afraid to step outside their front door, in the near future, this may be reality for Americans. Americans throw out over 200 million tons of garbage a year, yet recycle not nearly as much. Most people do not realize it but recycling is a vital part of America’s society and if Americans do not perform this action, it will backfire on them. People in America are debating whether Americans are recycling enough and correctly. After analyzing the data, one will definitely agree that Americans need to be more educated on recycling due to the fact that most people do not know what happens after they recycle an item, nearly all Americans are recycling incorrectly, and Am To begin,
Many times people forget to take trash bags to the beach or simply cannot find an accessible garbage can to dispose of theirs wastes. A quick fix for this situation is to locate plenty of accessible trash cans on the beach that are labeled and classified into plastics, glass, paper and cans, therefore enhancing the importance of recycling. Ecological contamination could be diminished if the problem was in fact treated at the root. Educating children and students at a young age to preserve their only home, will create a conscience among the rising generations. Environment protection classes should be taught as a requisite in school.
Now we are talking about recycling. So, what actually does recycling means? Turning used materials that are labeled as recyclable over to your local waste facility designated in a disposal container as “recyclable” materials to be taken and reused as material for a new purpose defines recycling . In order to create a new and different product, a recyclable product is turned back into a raw form that can be used. Recycling efforts can significantly reduce additional waste that will not only harm the planet today , but future generations as well.
So, it seems that the only way to save the planet is to save the poorest, and simply using the previously mentioned technology does not seem like enough. So, what our planet needs is for a wide scale project to help reduce global warming and
