return it into the soil to be used by new plants. This process of decomposition is nature's way of recycling. 3. What happens to the products that we throw away? When we recycle items like a juice bottle, our wastes don't get thrown into a landfill, but instead are re-used in other products. III Garbage 1. How much solid trash does an American man produce each day? If your habits resemble those of average Americans, you generate about 4.6 pounds of solid trash per day. pounds

international trains were not operating, bus and subway service was suspended and ferries remained in their ports. Hospitals were operating with only emergency staff members. The streets were littered with mounds of trash as a strike at the city’s main landfill entered its sixth day.” The situation is much tensed, but it seemed that the austerity plan was appreciated by markets and speculators, and Europe wants Greece to pursue that plan, “but public support is crucial if the measures are to be carried

Through combustion, methane gas is turned into less potent CO2 and H2O. Examples of such projects include the capture and flaring of landfill gas and of coal mining gas. The second type of project captures methane and uses it to produce either hot water or electricity. Such projects include those that capture and purify methane in wastewater treatment plants or landfills and use it for electricity production or the production of another form of energy. * Figure 11 Carbon Capture and Storage

right now. "We're just waiting on the world to catch up," in terms of having stations that supply liquid hydrogen. Another ad spotlights the fact that more than 50% of the energy used at its South Carolina plant is derived from methane piped from a landfill nine miles away. This campaign will run through the summer, and will preface launches of the BMW 3-Series coupe and the redesign of the X5 SUV. The carmaker is entering new segments, too. In another two years or so, the 1 Series now on sale in

of sewage treatment comprises strainer grid, sand trap and primary sedimentation basins. The grid traps coarse solid matter: plastic, rags, food residues, etc. This matter is continuously scraped off the grid and disposed of separately, usually as landfill. The sand trap is a basin in which coarse separation takes place. It is dimensioned and operated in such a way that sand and other heavy particles have time to settle to the bottom, while fat and other impurities that are lighter than water float

industry. In the UK, packaging waste disposed of by commerce and industry makes up about 3% of the waste stream and a total (household plus industry) of 7.2 million tonnes of packaging is disposed of landfill (Incpen,1999). 12 There is a desire to reduce the quantity of waste going to landfill, that why there is a need to find alternative methods of treatment and disposal. One way to deal this is to ensure that producers of the product that ends up as waste take responsibility for the disposal

Solano et al., 2004; Brix and Arias, 2005), some on storm-water (Walker, 2001), agricultural runoff (Dierberg et al., 2002), aquaculture runoff (Tilley et al., 2002), highway runoff (Shutes et al., 1999), livestock wastewater (Knight et al., 2000) or landfill leachate (Bulc et al., 1997). All these wastewaters have rather low pollutant concentrations (chemical oxygen demand: COD ≤ 1000 mg/L), but as yet, few studies are available on highly concentrated wastewaters (COD > 2000 mg/L), such as liquid sewage

electricity as a sole source or in tandem with other energy sources such as solar panels. iii. Biomass – Biomass is any energy generated from plants or plant derived materials, also called bio-energy. Examples are wood and methane captured from landfills. iv. Hydrogen– Naturally found in many organic compounds, hydrogen can be extracted as a gas and burned as fuel or be used to create electricity. v. Geothermal– “Geothermal resources range from shallow ground to hot water and rock several miles
