CONCLUSIONS

(ALL - Made and Posted by: Paulina - June 9)

FORM:

Recycling is the process where solid wastes are transformed and make possible the production of new products. Classifying rubbish is when items are recollected and the recycling process is POSSIBLE to start it's cycle. Most of the products are recyclable but there are few companies that do this work. In schools they can have income but it is a very difficult  job because people (Students and teachers) do not know where to throw each item so, they throw it wherever they want, so the worker need to classify it again.

FUNCTION:

The process of classifying rubbish is long and in the CCB there is an expert call Jose, he is the one that classify in the school and he told us that he work during 7:30 - 9:30 in the morning and 1:30 - 5:00 in the afternoon.

**The process of classifying rubbish starts when p**eople need to classify the rubbish that they have. A worker goes around the school taking the rubbish from the bins, while he is doing another classification. Takes everything he recollected to maintenance in a car **that has 2 compartments, 1 for organic rubbish that comes from the green bin and the other one for the rubbish from the blue bin that is plastic, glass and cans, in a bag he puts paper and cardboard to separate it from the other rubbish**. After recollecting all the rubbish from around the school Jose goes to a small room back the school in maintenance to do the final separation. He separates rubbish into different categories; paper, cardboard, news paper, plastic, aluminium and metal, and reusable materials go separated from recyclable materials. He organizes the ORGANIC in some containers ready for the car to take it, The PAPER and CARDBOARD in two different piles and the PLASTIC and GLASS go into another bag so another car come for it. **When there is enough rubbish the school calls the collecting car and it collects all the separated rubbish, the school needs to pay for the amount the car recollects.**

__CAUSATION:__

__Reason: (Why is it like this?) __


 * People don't know and aren't conscious of the classifying rubbish process in school and bin's colors
 * Laziness
 * Bin's color need to be very clear for people to understand and throw it to the proper bin.

__Consequences of DO recycling: __


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Takes time and effort to do the process
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">People give a bad use for recycling and people that buy those products in small villages could get ill.

__<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Consequences of NOT recycling: __


 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Producing brand new materials will consume more energy than recycling old materials. Brand new products that must be created, the more energy used. The more energy used, less fuel is available. Less fuel, higher price. The higher fuel costs rise, the more everyone will have to work to catch up with rising fuel costs.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Contaminated drinking water. Throwing away toxic materials will go into the groundwater.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Garbage smell all over the place.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline;">More expensive to throw it away. Dumpsters cost money, and so does <span class="IL_AD" style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline;">trash pickup, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline;"> r <span style="background-color: initial; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline;">ecycling <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline;"> is free.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Less jobs
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Kills wildlife. Animals eat trash and die.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">More contamination
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">More money needed for new productions

__<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Benefits of recycling: __


 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Elements that contaminate many the environment such as: Batteries, Print Cartridges, Cell Phones, Fluorescent Lamps are being recycled and don't end on improper places.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Less production process's contamination - <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Saving energy - Less energy to make something with recycled material rather something new
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Employment
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It saves natural resources - Reduce the amount of resources needed to make the same item compared to making it without recycling
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">If you recycle paper, trees that make oxygen for us to breath live longer.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Some materials that before the school had to buy it now the school produce them with the collected materials.**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Leaves that are recollected to make compost to fertilize the school's plants, this help school to pay less because it doesn't need to pay for a compost, they even sell it.**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Economic gainings**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Accomplish Environmental Laws**

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Reduce trash
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Saves recollection cost

<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">CHANGE

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">**Since our school was founded it has always been ecological and with time, our strategies have changed along with recycling technologies and by now, we re-use and on our way to recycle by classifying.** <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">**The school has special bins with their respective colors, bags and labels but the there are some problems where people are throwing rubbish wherever they want, this causes that our own wastes cannot be recycled successfully.**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Since recycling system started on CCB it has evolute a lot and new strategies have appeared making it more successful. Before people weren't as conscious as now, environmental awareness has grown and people started to recycle. All this change was created because of damages in Earth and global warming, recycling was more notable in those times and people got more conscious. **

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Classifying rubbish is connected to many things and it also leads to the performance of other things such as:

 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Nature: It has a cycle and it is all connected, if people break it many things will be affected ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Recycling: If people don't classify rubbish all the recycling process is broken. This time there is a man that does it ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Responsibility: If people don't put their part cycle is broken ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Worker: There is a man that needs to do many work and all the process of classifying rubbish ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Employment: School needs to pay that worker to do the job ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Construction: School had to leave two of the constructed rooms to use is for the classifying process ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Diseases: Worker could develop diseases because of having such a dirty job ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Unfairness: There is 1 man that does the work of the ENTIRE schoolOpen: All type of materials can be reused ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Economy: Recycling is cheaper than doing new products ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Convenience: People don't classify as they could because they thing it wont benefit them in a direct way ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Concern: When people saw how the world was and global warming they decided to change ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Money: Some developed countries DON'T recycle, this means recycling doesn't depends on money ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Land: Landfills are damaging land all over the world ==
 * ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Global Warming: If people classify recycling is possible, if recycling is possible global warming decreases ==

<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">PERSPECTIVE <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">People's thoughts change depending on their age. When they are little even though they don't have the same knowledge as big people do they try to save and care about the planet taking their time to classify rubbish. When they grow up and are in a middle age they start being more rebel and sometimes they don't care about things, but some do and classify better because they have a better knowledge at that age. When they grow up some have a very wide knowledge about colors and every thing related to the topic, this students recycle but some don't. There are other types of grown up students, some don't care about recycling or classifying rubbish and they just ignore all the project done by the school or don't even know.

<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">RESPONSIBILITY

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">People are responsible of classifying rubbish in the sources to be able to finish the recycling cycle. Recycling process is on people's hands and it they miss a step all cycle is broken. People should be sensible and take time to throw rubbish on proper places so all the process can gets to finish and new items made out of recycled items are made. Toxic and nuclear items should receive a special treatment because they are very dangerous for the environment and could <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">poison <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> many animals on the sea. In CCB school there is a worker that recollects all rubbish from bins and does separation students and teachers where suposed to do. This man could win a better job but he isn't because if community's fault.
