The day was sunny, a little chilly but nice. Going by the LRC I picked up a newspaper; and to my humbling surprise was an article about a waste plant being built in Tulare. These words meant so much to me because I’m from Tulare County. I’ve smelled the waste water, I’ve seen the waste water, and I’ve worked in the waste water. Every county should be required to invest in a waste water plant, no matter the cost. Tax payers can help should help.

My friends and I would have to work at the waste water plant when we were just getting in our teens. Every time we got in trouble that was our punishment from the Courts. Every time we would go up in front of the judge he or she would send us to the waste water plant. See twenty years ago that was the dirtiest work in the valley as far as I was concerned. From the point I got into the plant, I really wanted to learn about the way it worked, what process it was taking to make everything run smoothly.

Since I was going to spend the whole summer working for the county for free, it was time to get something out of this county jail time. We all set our minds to it and started to ask question; about everything; how it worked, why it worked, and why did we need it. This was the only way to find out about waste water, ask question; after we started finding out more and more it became so interesting we stared to read more and more on the subject. It was so fascinating to learn something about Mother Nature, how it work with waste water. The more we learned about waste water the more I wanted to learn what it did for the valley itself. If there isn’t a place to put the waste water; not good we would be like foreign countries, having our waste running down the street, our through their back yards,...

...k that covered ethics and malpractice; total quality management. Also relating to clients relationships, communications skill, (Roper, et. all.).

The way the waste water is these days I feel every county should have a wastewater protection program plan in order, or in the near future, on the desk of a County Supervisor as soon as they can. Feeling good about this program is just the surface of the problem, this program should go nation wide; possibly world wide.

Furthermore, to gains national attention, the Kettleman community produced a short documentary in order to expose the illness and death that the landfill is creating. To extent to which the community created a documentary, reveals the motivation and desperation of the small community to gain public support against a corporate giant such as The Chemical Waste Management. Ultimately, the frustration of the residents can be seen as they consistently express, “Why us?”. While the case of Kettleman City awaits the results of toxic analysis to shows that in fact the facility is causing negative health effects in the community, this case is indicative of how even the smallest communities can bring create change and more importantly it shows that low-income communities are currently opposing waste in their communities.

    Velazquez focuses on the unfair treatment of the poor community by large corporations. Because of this focus, she ignores the fact that in this distribution of waste-transfer stations, it can bring enormous economic values for this country’s development. Velazquez conveys that large corporations dump lots of waste and she has “personally never see a waste-transfer station on the upper East Side of Manhattan, or in the Hamptons” while almost forty percent of New York City’s waste-transfer stations are in her district (766). As a representative of her district, it is reasonable for Velazquez to be outraged by the waste-transfer stations’ distribution from her district’s residents’ points of view.

  • Canadian Waste in Michigan

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    As of January 1, 2003, the Canadian city of Toronto, Ontario started to ship one hundred percent of its garbage into the landfills of Michigan.  In 2003, Toronto exported garbage at a rate of 7.2 tons per minute.  Garbage trucks from Toronto run seven days a week twenty-four hours a day, so at the rate of 7.2 tons per minute it works out to be that Michigan imports 10,368 tons of Toronto's garbage per day.  But it wasn't always like this, Governor John Engler and his administration turned garbage into a growth industry.  The state lowered the liability standards for landfill owners and also provided tax-free financing for new facilities.  The result of these changes lead to too many landfills and not enough garbage to fill them.  So the landfill owners lowered their prices and searched even harder for garbage. Today, Michigan's private landfills charge ten to fifteen dollars per ton to dump while other landfill owners in neighboring states charge twenty five to fifty dollars per ton.  Toronto did the math and realized that it is cheaper to haul its garbage 300 miles and dump it in Michigan then it is to dump it close to home. And on top of that, Michigan has eliminated funds fo...

  • Personal Narrative: Life Lessons Learned In My Life

    It was my job for two summers, and was a great, exciting first job. One of the aspects that was very neat about it was the fact that I started it once school got out for the summer, and then once school started back up at the end of the summer I stopped working so I could put all my focus into school. I was primary weed eater for my first summer, simply because I was the newest guy on the job and also the youngest. I didn’t enjoy this near as much as I did mowing, but it taught me a lot about what hard work. We mowed a really big trailer park every other week, and I was in charge of weedeating the whole thing. I had to weedeat around all the pipes and poles sticking out of the ground, and although there was a bunch of those I didn’t really mind that part of the job much. However, the part of this that I absolutely hated was that I had to weedeat two or three decent size hills that were too steep to get a mower on. The worst part of this was that it was a job that couldn’t be done in the morning because the steep hills would be too slippery from the dew, so usually I would have to wait until the extreme heat of midday. This was one of the hardest things I had ever done before, and I truly hated it. However, because it was one of the hardest things I have ever done, it taught me what hard work really was. It taught me how to work hard, and showed me the rewards of my hard work through my paycheck

  • The Need for Recycling

    1211 Words  | 3 Pages

    People Need to Recycle In the United Sates, where the population is inflated every year. The amount of space for landfills decreases every day. The need for recycling should not be asked, it should just be done out of habit. Everyone in America needs to recycle, to help the lamdfill problem, help the environment, and help produce new products from recycled goods. In America there is about two-hundred and eight tons of residential and commercial trash generated a year, 4.3 pounds per person a day (Prichard 1A). This is an overwhelming amount of trashed produced yearly. When people recycle this number can be drastically cut. But many people do not practice and use recycling. Consumers and businesses should use the three R’s; recycle, reuse, and recharge (Prichard 1A). Consumers and businesses are producing more garbage than ever before. As a result, we are rapidly running out of landfill space. In 1979 America had close to 18,500 landfills, and by 1991 that number was nearly cut in half (Prichard 10A). Kentucky, Ohio, Minnesota, and Illinois will reach their maximum limit on landfills by the year 2005 (Prichard 10A). This whole garbage problem has forced us to try other options. Many of these options have been very unsuccessful. People have tried burning their garbage, that cause pollution to the environment. Some states even resorted to dropping their trash in the ocean, only to have the very same trash float ashore later. Dumping it on other states leads to feuding neighbors. Indiana passed a law to block imports of out-of-state trash, but a federal court ruled the law illegal (Prichard 10A). Instead of trying to find new ways to dump our trash, we need to find b...
