Baruch College is actively involved in recycling movements. The school administers and staffs encourage all students to recycle and reduce garbage. As you walk around the campus, you will notice garbage cans divided into three different sections: landfill, paper, and cans and bottles. First, landfill is waste from non-reusable materials. In contrast, two other sections of a garbage can deal with substances that can be reused through the recycling process. Additionally, not even a single trashcan is in Baruch classrooms. Students are allowed to eat in the class; however, professors require them to take all of their garbage with them. Since most of the students follow the rules, the school is able to maintain its cleanness. Although it can be considered as a small effort to make the world cleaner and prevent further global warming, recycling is essential.

Ridership on the bus had dwindled in the last 10 to 12 years. So few ticket holders made reservations that he arranged for a car service, not a bus, to take them to Manhattan. Last Wednesday, for example, only four people had made reservations.

This article is encouraging New Yorkers to recycle more by making the recycle system for plastic became much simpler. It is saying that it is the largest recycling program in 25 years and that city government expects New Yorkers to increase the volume of recycling rather than throwing away without recycling or thinking what the recycle substance falls under which category before recycling. As a result of increase in volume in recycling, the city will be able to gain more revenue by selling the byproduct of the recycle and reducing the city’s carbon footprint.

This article is about all the nations have trouble recycling the nuclear waste. Since nuclear waste can cause harmful effects to the environment, we can’t just divert them to landfill. In addition, nuclear waste can also be used to make plutonium, a chemical that can be used to produce nuclear weapons, and that’s why the U.S. banned it because they don’t want to set an example so the other nations can have a excuse to do the same. Furthermore, some report said that “No currently available or reasonably foreseeable reactor and fuel cycle technology developments — including advances in reprocess and recycle technologies — have the potential to fundamentally alter the waste management challenge this nation confronts over at least the next several decades, if not longer,’’ that means they won’t have any method to completely recycle the nuclear waste until decades later, which will eventually leads to new kinds of problems.

This article is about Mayor Bloomberg set a goal that New York is going to double the amount of garbage it diverts from landfills in the next five years. Since Mayor Bloomberg is about to say that” If we’re going to be the most innovative city in the world, we also have to be the greenest – because that’s how you attract the most talented individuals and most forward-looking companies”, New York City is going to encourage the reuse and prevention of waste, like the city’s recycling program and other committees. Furthermore, there are two types of plans. One is recycling from residences and institutions. Another one is the new recycling plant under construction in Brooklyn. Both plans were passed in the legislation in 2010
