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.
