Pollution is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. It contaminates the air, water, soil, flora and fauna through human actions. Soil contamination incorporates foreign matter like garbage and toxins, disrupting the physical, chemical and biological balance. Air pollution deposits small particles in lungs over time, increasing cardiovascular issues. Water pollution rises with population growth, contaminating water with microbes, chemicals and waste. Environmental pollution stems from domestic and industrial solid waste, excess fertilizers, burning trash, vehicle emissions, and draining sewage into waterways. Depletion of ozone due to greenhouse gases and human activities threatens life by increasing UV radiation exposure and skin cancer rates.

Plastics are everywhere, in our home, school, work, playground, parks, and beaches. It is such a popular material because it is flexible, lightweight, moisture resistant, and inexpensive. Even if plastics are found deep inland, they eventually find their way to the sea or ocean through rivers and streams. The global consumption of plastic was 260 million tons in 2010. It is estimated to reach 297.5 million tons by 2017.Plastic Pollution and Pakistan

This document discusses litter prevention in Ghana. It notes that littering is a common illegal offense and plastic waste from "sachet" water is a major component of municipal solid waste. Recycling plastic waste could generate over $200,000 per month for Ghana's economy. It recommends a waste management hierarchy of reducing, reusing, recycling, and composting waste before disposal in landfills. Specific tips are provided to reduce waste and promote recycling including avoiding excess packaging and using reusable products.Plastic recycling

The document discusses plastic pollution and recycling. It notes that plastic production has greatly increased globally but plastic is very slow to decompose, with some plastics taking over 1000 years. This causes plastic pollution in oceans, where it kills and endangers wildlife through entanglement and ingestion. The document advocates for more sustainable plastic recycling approaches to address this growing environmental problem.More from Sandra Leonetti (6)

Plastic items are labeled with numbers 1-7 to identify their type of plastic and whether they can be recycled. Numbers 1 and 2, including water bottles and milk jugs, are the easiest to recycle as they can be reprocessed into new items like fleece clothing or plastic lumber. Numbers 3, 4 and 5 are recycled less often due to their low recyclability, while number 6 polystyrene can be recycled into cassette tapes or insulation. Number 7 and unmarked plastics are the hardest to recycle and are seldom collected or recycled by municipal programs.Carboard

There are two main types of cardboard that can be recycled - corrugated cardboard which is used for boxes and paperboard which is used for items like cereal boxes. While not all cardboard can be recycled, it is estimated that 77% is recycled in the US according to the EPA. If cardboard cannot be recycled, it can be reused in the garden or as mulch, or used again as storage boxes. Recycling cardboard saves landfill space and energy compared to producing new cardboard from trees. People should contact their local recycling programs to learn what types of cardboard can specifically be recycled in their community.THE INVENTION OF BLACKBERRY

Blackberry phones were invented for people who needed to stay connected to work at all times. The first Blackberry, invented in 1999 by John McCain, allowed users to browse the internet, send messages, take photos, listen to music, and chat through Blackberry Messenger. Over the years, Blackberry sold over 170,000 smartphones worldwide by providing connectivity wherever users were. The latest Blackberry model, the Q10, features a more comfortable QWERTY keyboard, improved screen resolution, and more storage for photos and videos.THE INVENTION OF ECOLOGICAL CARS

Smart was a joint project between Swatch and Mercedes-Benz to create small, ecological cars for urban use. Introduced in 1998, the Smart City Coupe was just 2.5 meters long and used recycled plastic body panels, powder painted steel that was less harmful than conventional paint, and ran without oil using electricity instead. Though costing between $100,000-$120,000, the Smart aimed to be a sustainable transportation option for cities.the invention of the ball

A ball is a round object that is used in many ball games. Historically, balls were made from materials available in different regions like animal skins or rubber from the Americas. Ball games have a long history and were played in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and by native tribes for enjoyment and exercise. They ranged from simple games of catch to early versions of sports like football.Inventions

The document discusses the origins and design of ice sledge hockey sledges. It notes that two men from Sweden designed the first sledges in the 1960s to allow people with physical disabilities to continue playing hockey. Their original design included skate blades on a metal frame with space underneath for the puck, along with two round poles with handles for sticks. While Paralympic sledge measurements and weights are now regulated, the basic design remains largely unchanged from the original.Paper

- 2. Environmental impact of paper The production and use of paper has a number of adverse effects on the environment. Worldwide consumption of paper has risen by 400% in the past 40 years leading to increase in deforestation, with 35% of harvested trees being used for paper manufacture. Logging of old growth forests accounts for less than 10% of wood pulp, but is one of the most controversial issues. Paper waste accounts for up to 40% of total waste produced in the United States each year, which adds up to 71.6 million tons of paper waste per year in the United States alone. Conventional bleaching of wood pulp using elemental chlorine produces and releases into the environment large amounts of chlorinated organic compounds, including chlorinated dioxins. Dioxins are recognized as a persistent environmental pollutant, regulated internationally by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Dioxins are highly toxic, and health effects on humans include reproductive, developmental, immune and hormonal problems. They are known to be carcinogenic. Over 90% of human exposure is through food, primarily meat, dairy, fish and shellfish, as dioxins accumulate in the food chain in the fatty tissue of animals.
- 3. How paper is recycled: 1. Paper is taken from the bin and deposited in a large recycling container along with paper from other recycling bins. 2. The paper is taken to a recycling plant where it is separated into types and grades. 3. The separated paper is then washed with soapy water to remove inks, plastic film, staples and glue. The paper is put into a large holder where it is mixed with water to create ‘slurry’. 4. By adding different materials to the slurry, different paper products can be created, such as cardboard, newsprints or office paper. 5. The slurry is spread using large rollers into large thin sheets. 6. The paper is left to dry, and then it is rolled up ready to be cut and sent back to the shops.
