Solid Waste Management

1. What is Water Pollution?

- Water pollution occurs when harmful substances often chemicals or

microorganisms contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or
other body of water, degrading water quality and rendering it toxic to
humans or the environment.

- It is also defined as the presence in groundwater of toxic chemicals and

biological agents that exceed what is naturally found in the water and
may pose a threat to human health and/or the environment.
Additionally, water pollution may consist of chemicals introduced into
the water bodies as a result of various human activities. Any amount of
those chemicals pollutes the water, regardless of the harm they may
pose to human health and the environment.

2. Give at least 5 risks of Global Warming

a. Sea Level Will Rise 1-8 feet by 2100

- Global sea level has risen by about 8 inches since reliable record
keeping began in 1880. It is projected to rise another 1 to 8 feet by
2100. This is the result of added water from melting land ice and the
expansion of seawater as it warms.

- In the next several decades, storm surges and high tides could
combine with sea level rise and land subsidence to further increase
flooding in many regions. Sea level rise will continue past 2100
 because the oceans take a very long time to respond to warmer
conditions at the Earth’s surface. Ocean waters will therefore
continue to warm and sea level will continue to rise for many
centuries at rates equal to or higher than those of the current
century.

b. Arctic Likely to Become Ice-Free

- The Arctic Ocean is expected to become essentially ice free in

summer before mid-century.
c. Hurricanes Will Become Stronger and More Intense

- The intensity, frequency and duration of North Atlantic hurricanes,

as well as the frequency of the strongest (Category 4 and 5)
hurricanes, have all increased since the early 1980s. The relative
contributions of human and natural causes to these increases are
still uncertain. Hurricane-associated storm intensity and rainfall rates
are projected to increase as the climate continues to warm.

d. Temperatures Will Continue to Rise

- Because human-induced warming is superimposed on a naturally

varying climate, the temperature rise has not been, and will not be,
uniform or smooth across the country or over time.

e. Change Will Continue Through This Century and Beyond

- Global climate is projected to continue to change over this century

and beyond. The magnitude of climate change beyond the next
few decades depends primarily on the amount of heat-trapping
gases emitted globally, and how sensitive the Earth’s climate is to
those emissions.

3. What are the ways of reducing global warming?

1. Purchase more efficient lighting bulbs like LED’s. Recycle the old,
wasteful incandescent.

2. Drive more fuel-efficient vehicles with greater mileages. Diesels.

Electrics.
 3. Upgrade your home with more renewable energies, like solar.

4. Invest in as much weatherization as you can afford. Insulate. New

windows.

5. If you can afford it, upgrade to the most ENERGY STAR energy-
efficient appliances.

6. Plan and take shorter trips to the market, parks, and malls by
combining outings on a more weekly basis.

7. Turn the thermostats up more in the summer and down more in the
winter to save more energy.

8. Wear more clothes at night when you go to sleep if you need to

stay warmer. Socks really help.

9. Reduce as much water -waste as you can. Do less dish loads, wash
loads, lawn and plant watering. Take shorter showers.

10. Try to save, store and eat all the food you buy. Freeze foods if
possible. Consume easier on the environment foods like rice, beans
and wheat. They are all cheap, healthy and environmentally-
friendly. EAT LESS MEAT! Meat, especially beef is creating a climate
crisis all over the world. Our underground aquifers are being
drained and will never be replaced.

4. What are the steps of proper waste management give at least five.

1. Measure your waste

It is easier to manage and track your improvement on something

that is measured. Start by recording the types and quantities of
waste materials generated within your business. This could just be
a quick visual assessment and estimation of amount and types of
waste per week. As you change how you manage your waste, you
can compare and see what difference your changes make to the
amount of waste disposed to landfill.
2. Reduce

To reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, consider: can

waste be avoided or reduced by the way you procure goods and
services or by changing your business operations? does another
local business have a use for the waste materials produced by your
business? what materials can be targeted for recycling?

3. Recycle

Find out what options are available locally for business recycling.

4. Collection services

It is a good idea to find out how levy fees will be managed by your
waste service provider, and find out more about your waste
collection services—how it impacts your ability to recycle and
what options are available to you.

5. Separating waste

It’s important to ensure that waste is correctly separated for

recycling. Putting the wrong waste in contaminates the recycling.
