Name Institution Course: English 2152 Instructor Date of Submission Exploratory Bibliographic Essay (15 pts) I. Proposal Topic and Audience The specific motivation of this study was to introduce extended definitions of “resource recovery.” This study targeted a non-informed audience. This proposal was also based on the assumption that the audience was uninformed, but intelligent. For these reasons, the principle of clarity was observed throughout the presentation, and arguments were made in the most logical and convincing manner. II. My Prior Knowledge of the Topic Initially, my knowledge about resource recovery was centered around waste recovery. In fact, the thought of transforming a waste into a resource had not crossed my mind before conducting this research. Admittedly, the research has inspired my thoughts and concerns regarding the engineered approach to waste reclamation; a principle emphasized throughout the research sources for the extended definition. III. Summary of the Research Process The research process was quite exhaustive since much of the information obtained from the internet was not specific. Unfortunately, majority of the sources focused resource recovery and more so, waste recovery from a solid waste management approach. As the research efforts on the extended definition of resource recovery proved futile in Wikipedia and Google Scholar, I resolved to consult technical, scientific databases that would focus on the search
The WMP looks at the waste generated during the demolition and construction stages of a new development and ongoing management of the development, with attention on waste reduction.
Environmental benefits from waste to energy are reduction in greenhouse gases, creation jobs, incorporating and encouraging recycling, and the preferred environmental sustainability method to waste management. According to Ecomaine (2017), “Converting the trash to energy also benefits the communities we serve by reducing its volume by 90 percent, leaving only ash to be stored at the landfill site.” (para 2). Pollution control provides
Identified wastes in the current processes using the seven wastes as a guide to what should be looked for. The question was asked, “Why did this waste occur?” and, “What can be done to prevent it?”.
For this task I will be Investigating disaster recovery options and discuss how and when they would be used. I will support this discussion with examples.
Speaking of recycling, the term 'recycle' is partly incorrect. Most items that gets recycled are turned into products of lesser value. A good example of this is a car. When cars are to be 'recycled', they are usually melted. This is a grand mistake, because when the car melts, all the different types of metals join together into a 'monstrous hybrid', thus making it impossible to be made into a car again. The authors call this 'downcycling'. If we can recycle everything we discard into an object of equal or increased value, we would not be required to mine for the resources. The authors call this
This paper uses the terms natural resource(s), resource(s), and reserve(s) in many different contexts. Please use care when interpreting their usage and context.
Many if not most of the products we use on a daily basis are made of recyclable materials, including glass, aluminum, paper, steel, plastic, scrap tires and used oil. And the demand for goods made from recycled products, despite a lot of ups and downs during the 1980s, has never been higher thanks to a combination of well-conceived industrial/commercial applications and much needed government purchasing mandates. Indeed, the existence of markets for recyclables has contributed significantly to recycling's success as a waste disposal alternative. What makes recycling especially unique is its implementation by local people for local people. In regards to MSW management, the federal government is relatively hands-off, and state governments have focused more of their attention on landfill and incineration options.
To analyze the factors that are influencing optimized waste management services, it was necessary to establish a robust evidence base from Government reports , local authority reviews & waste management technology analysiss. Each of the reports & studies considered differing factors to achieving economies of scale, & provided a broader range of influencing variables including the following:
Disaster Recovery Planning is the critical factor that can prevent headaches or nightmares experienced by an organization in times of disaster. Having a disaster recovery plan marks the difference between organizations that can successfully manage crises with minimal cost, effort and with maximum speed, and those organizations that cannot. By having back-up plans, not only for equipment and network recovery, but also detailed disaster recovery plans that precisely outline what steps each person involved in recovery efforts should undertake, an organization can improve their recovery time and minimize the disrupted time for their normal business functions. Thus it is essential that disaster recovery plans are carefully laid
We, humans, are producing waste every day, polluting and destroying our planet. To save the world, many people believe recycling is the obvious solution. It is the process of converting certain waste into a reusable material. Therefore, the recycle motto is “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle”. However, have you ever wondered why the word recycle is placed at the end? Well, it’s because it is not the only way to reduce waste and save the world from global warming. Recycling may have many advantages, but its disadvantages’ list is not a short one either. Recycling may look very simple and easy method, but when there is a need for a new unit of waste recycling, it takes up a lot of space. Not to mention the amount of money the building costs along with paying the staffs, buying new utility vehicles, upgrading the recycling unit and different types of chemical disposals. It is not only expensive but also, unhygienic, unsafe and unsightly with piles of waste materials on every location. These wastes spread infectious diseases putting human health at risk. Aside from recycling
Waste management applies to a variety of resources, from food to energy to water. Nature itself produces no waste,
Recycling is an essential part of reducing the amount of waste filling up landfills. Recycling materials cannot only reduce waste but pollution as well. Unfortunately the typical recycling programs such as curbside pick-up and recycling centers require significant commitment from the public to be successful which generally leads to low participation. However there may be a solution to the problem. The pollution prevention and reduction program suggests the use of materials recovery facilities. Materials recovery facilities sort out recyclable materials from other waste products such as compostable items. By sorting out the waste at one central location more items get recycled and waste is reduced without public participation. A recent article by Wang (2010) suggests, “The installation of materials recovery facilities (MRFs) can be an alternative solution to the problem of low participation of voluntary household and curbside recycling in fast-growing cities.” Materials recovery facilities can be a viable solution for waste management problems where public participation is an obstacle. This solution also provides less societal impact because lifestyle change is not as critical.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to make known the negative social implications of the “catching-up development myth” through globalization and to break down specific concepts of vertical and lateral oppression from the top natural resources consumers of oil in the world. This paper also demonstrates my interest in creating biological and economic equity in the world through breaking down these oppressive frameworks and hence, my interest in obtaining knowledge about alternative energy uses to be used as a tool to help liberate others in places of need.
