Go Green! Sound familiar? Lately that’s what most people are talking about. Go green and save our planet, which is why we chose to place our public health sticker on recycling bins. Each year hundreds of millions of wastes, such as plastic, aluminum, and glass goes into the land field. Those wastes take years before they are able to decompose; and in the meantime they are taking up land and polluting our air. Recycling has become a big part of our society and the way that it effects our environment; it reduces wastes, air pollution, saves energy, as well as lowers the greenhouse gas emissions. Recycled objects also reduce the cost on certain items that you can buy at the store, and that makes things cheaper for everyone, the producers and the consumers. We decided to go green with our public health sticker at a local student apartment near USF. This location was chosen because it shows the effort that the public is making to help reduce waste and encourage recycling. The public is making recycling convenient and accessible to everyone in almost all locations including restaurants, hotels, and street corners. This is a public health issue because it deals with the environment and the common good of the population. Cleaner air is always healthier for simple reasons such as breathing and diminishing odors. Recycling is important because it helps keep our environment clean for future generations to come. Recycling is something that does not take a lot of time to do, it can become a habit and every bit helps.

ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you guys chose recycling. It seems like it would be simple and second nature to most people these days but it is not. Recycling is not that much harder than throwing something in the trash. Thank you guys for reminding everyone that recycling is public health! GO GREEN!
ReplyDeleteYou guys have definitely chose a public health issue that even now with the numerous efforts to promote recycling, people still choose to ignore the long-term consequences. As you guys mentioned the various benefits of recycling and how convenient it has become, I as individual who cares for not only the resources available currently, but for generations to come, have also become sort of a advocate to encourage people to recycle. It is truly crucial for people to take interest in their environment as well as care for it and not to have the kind of mentality where their actions will pose no immediate threat! Thank you for taking the time to emphasize the importance of recycling and how it poses to be a critical public health issue!
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent choice to choose as an public health. Recycling is a major part of our society that we definitely take for granted. Recycling reduces the waste and it is good for the economy better yet it creates more jobs. I can definitely see why you guys decided to choose recycling as an public health.
