Why is recyling and reusing important?
because otherwise HUGE landfills of earth would be covered in rubbish piles .
How does garbage affect earth?
Garbage can have harmful effects on Earth by polluting the environment, harming wildlife, contaminating water sources, and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions when it breaks down in landfills. Improper disposal of garbage can also lead to soil degradation and health hazards for humans.
What are the benefits of recyling?
It cuts down on the amount of garbage that otherwise would have gone to landfills, and it reduces the amount of fresh material that has to be extracted from the Earth.
How do recycleable items help the earth?
Recyclable items(that have been recycled) help the Earth by not increasing the amount of waste in landfills thus not creating precious land to be polluted and wasted on garbage. Also toxins like PCB aren't added to the air when trash in landfills are burned
Compare rock layers to a landfill how are they alike and how are they different?
Rock layers and landfills are both composed of stacked materials over time. However, rock layers are formed naturally through geological processes, while landfills are man-made deposits of waste materials. Rock layers provide valuable information about the Earth's history and can contain fossils, while landfills pose environmental and health risks due to the decomposition of waste. Both can be studied to understand past events and human impact on the environment.
How can people pollute the earth?
There are a lot of ways. First way to pollute the earth is by littering. Throwing garbage on the floor. Also not recycling. If we did not recycle then there would be more landfills in garbage plants. STINKY. Also by throwing things or chemicals in the sea water,lakes,rivers, and ect. The fish will die. There are more ways.
Can large areas be covered with layers of sedimentary rocks?
Yes, massive areas of Earth are covered by sedimentary rocks. A good geology map will tell you what rocks are in your area.
Why do you separate garbage?
We need to separate our garbage because in that simple way we can help our society to reduce our global warming. We people in this planet are the reasons why we suffer all this things so we also assign to solve it. By recycling and reducing the footprint of the landfills, we are taking better care of the environment and the earth we live on.
Why are landfills good?
They take up lots of space, and makes the land smell terrible. Water runoff can contaminate nearby land, waterways or water tables. Organic matter decomposing in the landfill can emit methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
How much earth is landfills?
Landfill is just another name for rubbish dump, or garbage tip. Just about every town in the world has one, and many cities have several. A few places have incinerators to burn their garbage, but unless they are very modern and efficient, incinerators just pollute the atmosphere instead of the ground.
Where would they put the garbage when the dump gets full?
Most cities in the world today are facing this problem. Traditionally garbage collected is dumped in low lying lands and are then covered with layers of earth. But most land filling spots are also filled up. Cities then turn to the water bodies, eating up lakes, ponds and sometimes there are enough garbage in the river that it turns it course. Alternate measure are however being adopted too, garbage is segregated based on its reccycleability and volume of garbage to be disposed is hence reduced. But none of it is a full time solution as our consumption and waste production is far greater than our recycling capability.
Are landfills good or bad?
Landfills are in water bodies. This means that landfills can help reduce the amount of garbage that cannot be incinerated left on land. This will reduce the unsightliness of the area, the bad smells and the land taken up, which can be used to develop other things.
