5 ways that people waste water are by flushing the toilet too often (it doesn't mean don't flush it just means if your sibling needs to go let them go then you go and then you can flush!) also when you floss or Q-tip your ear please don't throw it in the toilet and flush it, that is a really big waste. another way is by leaving the water on while brushing your teeth also you waste water by washing the dishes in dishwashers. and if you wash your car on a driveway that wastes water too it is better to wash it on your lawn. another way is by just by using hot water it uses up alot of water and energy (it also gives you cold water if you use up all the hot water which sucks!)

Water, taken in moderation, can not hurt anybody (Mark Twain)

Women are like tea bags, we do not know our own strength until we are in hot water (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Nothing is more softer and more flexible than water, yet we cannot resist it (Lao Tzu)

His answer trickled through my head like water through a sieve (Lewis Carroll)

I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it ( W C Fields)

I never drink water, its the stuff that rusts pipes (W C Fields)

Landfills are not built then watched until they fill up. An engineered landfill is sized so that it fills up in an estimated period of time. Usually the interior is divided up into cells which are filled sequentially so the status of the estimate can be corrected.

Building against an estimated lifespan allows planning for the development of a new site to be done in an orderly fashion.

No, littering does not usually pollute the air. The air is polluted by emissions mostly from factories and vehicles (as well as volcanoes, forest fires and even cigarettes).

Littering is a visual problem, but it is rarely an environmental problem.

If you waste water then your not helping the planet. And you never know we might run out of water and thats why it is important not to waste water!

due to land pollution

we get malaria typhoid dengue chikungunya etc

opps it are due to mosquitoes

Yes. It saves trees, it saves energy(as making new paper from old paper use less energy than making it from scratch), and it also reduce the volume of waste going to landfills.

In 2006, U.S. residents, businesses, and institutions produced more than 251 million tonsof MSW, which is approximately 4.6 pounds of waste per person per day. www.epa.gov/msw/facts.htm

Because they are basically huge holes full of waste that are very difficult to recycle. They produce leachate, the liquid portion of waste from the landfill, that impacts the surrounding environments.

Landfills are mostly negative, and most environmentally aware communities realize that they have to begin to treat their waste some other way, such as gasification.

They also attract wildlife, which leads to the destruction of wildlife such as bears or gulls.

If human excrement is not disposed of properly, it can make people sick. For example, if not disposed of properly, it can get into the water supply, which will cause sickness in a lot of people.

for the promotion of individual health and health of the society in general

yes. but it also wastes energy as sound

Yes, yes, yes!! During its lifetime 1 canvas bag will eliminate the need for 1000 plastic ones.

Annually 500 BILLION plastic bags are produced, most of which either end up as litter or landfill. The average use of a plastic bag is 12 minutes but it will take 100s of years to decompose. Plastic (including bags) is also responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of animals in our seas each year.

The leading cause of petroleum in north america is the Exclusive Economic Zone.

Pollution is still a serious problem in Europe; it accounted for about 600,000 deaths of Europeans in 2012 alone. It's been estimated that about 90% of all European city-dwellers breathe in dangerous, polluted air that could lead to health problems.

• Contaminated water seepage into nearby waterways
• Methane (CH4), a dangerous greenhouse gas, released by decomposing organic material.

it all depends of what resource in specific you want to tackle.

electricity--> using cfl light bulb instead of incandescent light bulbs. + using motion sensors in areas that don't have too much traficc at different times(bathrooms, library, any warehouse,Gym)

water-->more efficient nozzles at water sinks.

Human Resources--> multitasking personnel. instead of having 1 person for 1 or 2 jobs have more people trained to do 3 or 4 tasks. --> a librarian that can sweep the floor when there is nobody around is an example + dusting off the place + organizing books, receiving new books and labeling them. I think this are regular tasks of a librarian but I might be wrong.

Land--> the school can use a small are of the yard to make it a garden and plant some veggies, legumes, fruits.. that can be used inn the cafeteria...given that the area is not used that much of if it is at a awkward corner where is hard to play/ use.

only you know what can be done since you are the one going to that school, these are just generic examples. walk around school and think of a better way to used a specific area, tool, item, natural resource of heat....

even rain water can be trapped in a tank and used as either water for a gardening yard when there is no rain expected for several days or even to be used to wash outdoor floors, fences, outdoor windows.. after its been strained from leaves or any small pieces of debris if needed. It can be used to clean the dumpster area as well, hopefully there is no bad smells over there but if there is Rain water can be used there and is free...

The seep into the ground (polluting aquifers that we use for drinking water) and to the surface and cause widespread environmental damage (harm to life on Earth).

Plastics piling up over time in the ocean. They are trapped in the vortex of the ocean's gyre and cannot escape. And its just grows. Now its twice the size of texas and is raising the oceans acid levels by 13%

risks from poor sewage sanitation include :

cholera , typhoid fever , parathyroid fever , amoebic and bacillary pysentery , infectious hepatitis

raw sewage , or sewage that has not been treated adequately , is one serious source of water pollution and a cause of eutrophication ...

It should be noted that conventional plastics can be made biodegradable with the inclusion of a small amount of an additive that promotes biodegradation. It is then called oxo-biodegradable plastic.
