Do you hate seeing litter on the streets, or seeing and smelling heaps of garbage sitting, and rotting away? Humans recycling more will help to reduce this. We throw many things that can be recycled. Recycling glass, plastics, paper, and metals will reduce solid waste dumped into the ecosystem daily. “96 percent of U.S. plastic, and 50 percent of its paper, goes into landfills. Mexico, not exactly a bastion of environmental awareness, recycles more glass than the U.S.” (Alice Horrigan 1). That’s 96 percent of the millions of tons of plastic, which will outlive most of us in a landfill that we could recycle and keep it out of our landfill. Paper is made from trees, if we recycle it, we can decrease our rate of ugly deforestation and the destruction of animal habitats. When paper gets to the landfill, it is guaranteed to get wet. The wetness and decomposition of paper atracts mold spores, which produce an odor and are potentially bad for your health. Also k...
When most people hear the word recycling they think of plastic water bottles, milk jugs, or even old paper that they can reuse, but this is not necessarily the case anymore. Scientists and researchers have discovered a new form of recycling that is going to help better the environment and it can even help make people money! Smokers around the world do not think about recycling their used cigarette butts, but this new form of recycling has changed some of their minds on this subject. Recycling has been a major environmental issue, but most people have forgotten about it or they just do not care for it anymore. Paper recycling dates back to as far as 400 B.C. Some people even say that the early Romans recycled their bronze coins so that they
Generation of household waste has become an issue of serious concern for urban areas in recent years. In response to this issue, recycling is one of the most practiced waste management methods (Tchobanoglous et al., 1993). The McGraw Hill Recycling Handbook (2000) mentions recycling as a process to separate a given material from waste and process it so that it can be used again in a form similar to its original use; for example, newspapers are recycled into newspaper or cardboard. Furthermore, recycling is the method of separating, collecting and reprocessing or converting used or waste products into new materials (EPA, 2010). There are many states and federal efforts to increase recycling rates in the United States which are briefly discussed below.
To implement a recycling program requires a collection process that includes the containers to gather the materials, the trucks to transport them to the processing site, and the manpower to manage the program. Unfortunately, recycling is more of a business than an attempt to save the environment. The value of the material being recycled overshadows the negative impact of dumping items into the landfill. At a point in time, the demand for recycled paper declined, so recyclers stored the material in hopes that values would increase. “The hope is that eventually the markets turn around and that the materials is sold, but I have heard of instances where it gets landfilled, because a community doesn’t have the demand or the space or the company to deal with it, “ says Gene Jones, the executive director of Southern Waste Information Exchange (Westervelt,

Donna Dubinsky worked at Apple, Inc., as the Director of Distribution and Sales Administration throughout the mid 1980’s. She had been extremely successfully during her first couple years at the company and was in charge of six warehouse, inventory, distribution, and costumer relations. Nevertheless, problems started to arise when the company’s president and General Manager of the Macintosh Division, Steve Jobs, proposed changes in the distribution system to be replaced by the “just-in-time,” method. This change was threating to Ms. Dubinsky job, mainly because it proposed to eliminate the six distribution centers that were under her control. This is where problems started to arise.
Why is the United States doing arms deals countries that we go to war with? We have been doing arms deals with countries for many years. We have done arms deals with Iraq, Libyan Rebels, and Affiliates of the Mexican Cartels, Egypt, Bahrain, and many Persian Gulf States. We sell these countries tanks, ammunition, assault rifles, F-16 Fighting Falcons, and V-22 Ospreys. Why are we doing arms deals with these countries that have terrorist issues. Are we indirectly enabling murder? I feel that we are arming these counties for all the wrong reasons. The United States lead the invasion of Iraq to bring down Saddam Hussain and the Al Qaida regime. United States Special Forces were able to capture Saddam Hussain and bring him to justice. Saddam Hussain was later found guilty of crimes against humanity and was sentenced to death. After the fall of Saddam Hussain, Al Qaida still had a very strong prescience in Iraq. Iraq was interested in doing an Arms deal with the United States. Why would the United States be interested in such a deal? The United States was in the middle of a war in Iraq. Why would the United States want to put weapons on the streets of Iraq, even if deal was meant for the Iraq Army? These weapons could end up in the wrong hands and be used to kill United States soldiers. The United States has lost more than 4,000 soldiers in the War in Iraq. I think that we should be removing as many of the weapons as possible. I know that this can be contradiction because the Iraq Army needs to be armed to defend the Iraqi people. Although I feel that, the Iraq Army may not be strong enough to defeat Al Qaida alone. Thus meaning the weapons will be left in the terrorist hands and used against innocent civilians.
Kareem is a talented undergraduate student who I have had the privilege of working with in nuclear science research over the past year. We have worked on two separate neutron activation analysis projects together. He has also taken my upper level course in Nuclear and Particle Physics (UTPA course # PHYS 4309) with honors during the fall semester of 2013 and has expressed interest in my participation as his honors thesis advisor. It is a pleasure to offer this letter of recommendation for the DOE SULI program.
