Ocean Dumping Method

This method is the easiest out of the many methods in waste disposal but, its also the most hated by people especially environmentalists. Dumping waste in the ocean is clearly destroying many aquatic lives. Sure the ocean is vast but soon enough, this kind of method will come to haunt us. Who knows what those chemical wastes can do to aquatic lifeforms. It can either kill them or much worse, mutate them into horrible beasts we see in movies.

Not so lucky fisherman.
As a businessman, I can't really blame them for doing this kind of waste disposal although, I'm not saying I support this method in which I really don't. If you think about it thoroughly, you would be inclined to do it. No expense whatsoever on your part is pretty enticing to a businessman. Most companies fire employees just because they don't have the finance to pay them, how much more if its about dumping waste materials. Money is always the main objective for all companies and that is a fact of life.

Going back, this method for me, is just plain awful. I don't care how they perfectly they did this method, throwing waste in the ocean is a bad idea. I take it back, its a very bad idea. There's just so much to lose, not for those companies but for those small families that feed off the ocean or fishermen. Hopefully with the advancements of technology, this method will be further studied and processed in a way that it cannot harm the ocean and the many creatures that live within it.

Incineration Waste Disposal

The world is ever moving forward and nothing can stop that fact. Moving forward means a lot of changes. Some are good and of course, some are not so good especially in technology. Yes, they are a great help for all of us yet, they also have something that can destroy us in the future. I'm talking about garbage and how waste disposal isn't used properly.

Big companies are now on a fast pace production schedule and that means more trash going our way. Those companies are doing all they can to limit their waste to a minimum using different methods of waste disposal. In Japan, they use incineration as a means to counter waste. Give them a lot of credit, they are quite the innovative.

Incineration Process



When this process was coming out, it still had a negative effect on waste disposal. When the incineration method begins, a huge quantity of energy along with carbon dioxide is released but the smoke along with the pollutants still harmed the environment. If this continues, we will be looking at a great environmental catastrophe. Technology isn't perfect in the beginning, every new thing at any time will have their bad effects. That's just the way it goes really but, in time they were upgraded to versions that are less likely to harm the environment. 

Today, incinerators are built to help the environment although, it is still not 100% clean smoke but that is better than hazarding the environment in a big rate like back in the old days. Although, the burning process still remains the same. Now they added filters and scrubbers. These two make sure that there will be no leakages of poisonous substances, acidic gases and pollutants are released in our atmosphere.

Incineration Process

Hoping the companies doing this method are prioritizing safety above all else. Waste disposal should be taken seriously since it greatly affects us.

Something Out Of Nothing

I've forgotten who said this quote: "A good man can make money from something while a great man can make money from nothing". This is quotation is so true. William Feather stated that "Wealth flows from energy and ideas", this has the same meaning as the first one. People tend to think within the box that they can't see or produce ideas that can generate money.

Take garbage for example, its smelly, dirty, horrible and there's a whole lot more words that can describe it but, thinking of the word profitable along with those nasty words is what a great man is capable of. Don't let the word great ever hinder you, being great at something is what all of us can attain. Famous individuals with a lot of money were not great in the beginning, like everyone else they were struggling people in search of ideas. Check out this guy:



Now, back to the topic at hand. Garbage can be made into a profitable thing. Disregard the garbage collectors since that in itself is already a business. I'm talking about segregating and collection garbage items which can still be recycled and sold to people. The saying that "A persons garbage can be another persons treasure" is the key quote here.

With that in mind, one can make assumptions about how they plan on doing this. That my friends will be your task. All I can say is that you need to keep things in perspective. Not too fast yet no too slow. Let this image be your inspiration.

Proper Waste Collection

Cleaning up your home is quite easy, especially for those people who are neat freaks that can't even stand a speck of dust underneath their furniture. Trust me, these people are the special ones or should I say the gifted ones. Anyway, garbage isn't quite choosy since it doesn't care if you are in the rich class, middles class or low class people, they are all the same when they deal with garbage. The waste collection process stays the same. The process is to clean and collect garbage, categorize them according to type, and throw in the trash. The last part is just for namesake. Like who doesn't know how to throw the trash away. The style remains the same even with all the advancement in technology.


♦Clean And Collect♦


Simple as it may seem, this would be the toughest out of them all. You need to carefully collect everything from behind the fridge, under your furniture and even underneath your rugs. Most notably, one must clean out dust as it may cause sickness in ones health. Proper waste collection has always implicated the removal of dusts in a persons home. Good thing there are tools that can help you out on this process.

♦Categorize♦


This part is quite important since you are categorizing them according to their type. It will greatly benefit the environment if you do this with utmost precision. Plastic go with plastic and so on and so forth. Do this well and you'll be helping the environment in a great way.

I don't have to explain the last part since its already a given. Just make sure that those waste collectors or garbage collectors segregate them accordingly. Some don't do it properly.

Importance Of A Clean Home

To clean the environment, one must clean their houses first then go do something about the place around the house. I have always followed a style wherein the cleanliness is of high quality. To start things off, one must begin in the most dirtiest place in the house.

Kitchen


Yes, this is the dirtiest part of the house. People usually expect it to be the bathroom. At the beginning I thought so too but studies showed me a different result. You can't imagine how many germs there are in your kitchen. Take note that in this place, you are cooking your meals so its important to keep it clean at all costs.

Bathroom



The next would be your bathroom. Thorough cleaning is required for this place since germs of high caliber live here and the such. Better to check the water just in case. We don't want our water to be polluted.

Bedroom



The place that we spend the most time should be cleaned in a way that it feels safe to just lie around in your bed all day long without having to worry about germs and bacteria.

Living Room





Other than the bedroom, your living room should be a top priority for those inviting type of family. The type that shows off their house to friends, relatives and the sort. Make sure to clean the sofas, remove the dusts that ruins it.

All in all, remember to place all the garbage and dust in a container of some sort and place them in a way that the waste collection truck or garbage truck will be able to see and collect them on the spot.

How To Recycle Part 2?

Before I begin, I want you to know that garbage isn't a problem. Taking better care of your home first is the key. If you can't then you can just get some waste collection company to do it for you. Now, part 1 of this kind of explains the importance of recycling. There I stated some objects that should be recycled properly. Namely glass, papers, and plastic. Here's something just to add from my last post.


Cardboard - People know that this is quite useful. Recycled card boards have been used by people of all classes. One has to bale and bind them of course. See your local municipality for the size and weight restrictions for recycled cardboard.

Yes, glasses can be recycled but light bulbs, mirrors and sheet glass requires a different and complicated type of recycling due to the fact that they are not accepted at recycling plants since they have different chemical compositions.


 Cans - Aluminum and copper are quite used by people. Food and beverage cans are being used in various ways through recycling. Separate each of them but don't crush them. Sort them out. Make sure to separate paint cans from other metal cans.

How To Recycle Properly?

There's no need for any sort of explanation if we talk about recycling. Its a given fact for most people. Now, recycling isn't just about knowing where to place things in garbage cans. There's also doing things to certain objects that makes the recycling process go smoothly.

Like the picture states, you have to be precise with each of the objects that you are going to recycle. This are just three of them so pay attention.


Plastic Bottles -  Most of them have Polyethylene Terepthalate which is common to plastic bottles. With the technology being as it is today, it is possible to recycle PET plastic for the use in modern fabric used for clothing. Although, you have to remove the caps before placing them in recycle bins.



Glass - Glass is recycled by color. Usually green, brown or clear. You can label them as you like, those glass jars and bottles. Its a known fact that each glass bottle one recycles saves enough energy to light 100 watt light bulb for 5 hours.


Papers - First of all, newspapers should have their own bin. Yes, you should recycle them since each foot stack of newspapers you recycle, you are saving an equivalent 10 feet of fir tree. Other types of papers like magazines, junk mail inserts, flyers, postcards and envelopes should not be combined with any of the newspapers. You can combine them together just without the newspaper.

Now, having learned this information, one can make their homes that much healthier. This knowledge of waste collection should be passed on to people. The more they know, the better it is for the environment. Remember, recycling is the key to success.
