According to Adler, H. J.
(1992), and Cherif, A. (1995) believe educators should
design new strategies to incorporate a range of options
that include teaching recycling and waste management
in schools to ensure recycling behavior and more
participation in waste management. Both researchers
agree that more education will make the difference and
that recycling should be a part of the school curriculum.
Cherif (1995) article lists major objectives in teaching
recycling.
Saunders, M. A (1999)
and Vega, M. A (2005). Saunders and Al Gore are
researchers that are very interested with saving our
planet. Al Gore created a campaign to raise awareness
and to address global warming issues. Saunders and Al
Gore are concerned about the climate change, rising
levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the
rising sea level. They both agree that greenhouse
gases are due to human activities and has started
effecting the earth since the 1700’s. Burning forests
down, fossil fuels burning, decaying rubbish are all
enhancing the greenhouse gases. As a result, we have
seen dramatic changes in global temperature,
precipitation, sea level and weather extremes.
• Reuse, Recycle:
Do your part to reduce waste by
choosing reusable products instead of disposables. Buying
products with minimal packaging (including the economy
size when that makes sense for you) will help to reduce
waste. And whenever you can, recycle paper, plastic,
newspaper, glass and aluminum cans. If there isn't a
recycling program at your workplace, school, or in your
community, ask about starting one. By recycling half of your
household waste, you can save 2,400 pounds of carbon
dioxide annually.
• Plant a Tree:-
If you have the means to plant a tree, start
digging. During photosynthesis, trees and other plants
absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They are an
integral part of the natural atmospheric exchange cycle here
on Earth, but there are too few of them to fully counter the
increases in carbon dioxide caused by automobile traffic,
manufacturing and other human activities. A single tree will
absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its
lifetime.
