From Dirt to Danger: Understanding Soil Contamination

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iTbwZlSY
Soil contamination threatens our health, environment, and food security. Contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial waste can seep into the ground, affecting the very foundation of our ecosystem. This not only harms the plants we rely on for food but also poses serious risks to wildlife and human health. By understanding the causes and consequences of soil contamination, we can empower ourselves and our communities to take meaningful action. Together, we can advocate for cleaner practices, support sustainable agriculture, and push for stronger regulations to protect our soil. Ensuring the health of our soil is crucial for a sustainable future, fostering a safe environment for generations to come.

Did you know all of the things that are created when you recycle? Many items are used to create things for other people or things you use in everyday life! Plastics can be melted into droplets and create other plastic toys and tools like buckets. And did you know that the insulation in your jacket might be partly made of recycled plastic? Plastic is not the only thing that creates something new. When you look at paper and cardboard, it can be turned into things such as other paper, tissues, and even roof shingles! Aluminum and tine cans are transformed into other cans, household appliances, or even part of your car or bike! Even glass can be turned into surprising things such as sports turf and bricks. Many materials in our life can be used again to create wonderful things!

Alaskans generate approximately 650,000 tons of garbage per year. Currently, the Municipality of Anchorage and its partners are converting methane gas from the city's landfill into electricity. This project was originally projected to produce up to 3 MW of power, enough to supply 3,000 homes along the Railbelt and the equivalent energy of two million gallons of diesel per year.

Now there are things in this world that can damage this our world and that can harm our environment like littering or wasting our resources and many other factors that can destroy our earth. Now what can we do to help this environment? Sustainable environment practices. Now what is that? Environmental sustainability is the responsible management of natural resources to fulfill current needs without compromising the ability of future generation to meet theirs. Environmental sustainability aims for ecological balance, economic and social goals, such as reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy, and ensuring equitable resource access. So this would help things like I said earlier like littering and wasting resources which can significantly help the environment and your community, so try and tell your people about better environmental sustainability practices like throwing your garbage in the recycle bin, or turning your light off before you leave the house and limiting your electricity use in the house and maybe everything for your environment will be better.

Plastic pollution represents a serious danger to marine wildlife, mainly due to ingestion and entanglement, which can result in suffocation, starvation, and ultimately death. Many marine species, such as sea turtles, whales, and seabirds, often confuse plastic waste for food, resulting in digestive obstructions, malnutrition, and internal harm. Additionally, getting caught in plastic debris, fishing equipment, or abandoned gear can lead to severe physical injuries, suffocation, and even fatal outcomes.

Recycling plastics is a good thing because collecting recycled plastics can reduce it from being thrown into places like the oceans, rivers, and land areas that are occupied by living things.  It can also be reused to make new products.  Before throwing plastics to somewhere they don't belong, always think before you do.

When we reduce,reuse and recycle, we make the earth a better place for everyone including the animals. The things we reuse don't end up  in landfills where animals can get into them and eat them or get stuck on their bodies. Another good thing we do is we prevent about 19 million metric tons of CO2 getting released into the air and save energy equal to more than 10 billion gallons of gas every year. Another good way we can is by composting vegetable and fruit waste and other fresh things that can go to animals or be turned into dirt for gardens.

How much waste does the U.S  produce? Us Americans create enormous amount of trash. The U.S produces about 268 million tons of trash every year. If you compare the amount of trash that Americans create with the usual average of 5 pounds per day. With a family they usually create about 18 pounds. The 268 million of trash generated in the United States each year is primarily paper and cardboard waste which both can be recycled.

When we throw our trash outside the car window or drop it while outside, you are endangering many animals and our environment. Millions of animals every year die from plastic waste, and thousands of animals every day. So when Earth Day comes remember to be mindful of your plastic and trash and throw it away or recycle. Animals are not as perceptive as humans, when animals see something that looks a little too much like the food that they eat they will go for it. Like for example if a sea bird sees a silver wrapper in the water they might perceive it as a fish. Or maybe even an all green plastic wrap some deer or other grazing animals may mistake it as a piece of grass or a leaf. Always remember to try to recycle and turn your trash into something better.

Every year there is a steady increase in trash pollution. Nearly 80% of the trash is Marine litter, some of it might even be from litter that was from the streets that land straight into the ocean from something bringing it there. This is entirely preventable, some of it was intentional and some had notable attempts to throw it in the bins, at least 81% was intentional to throw it outside of the bins, while there is about 54% that had notable attempts to throw it in those bins.

Hazardous waste, when improperly regulated, can cause serious problems to human health, and to the environment. Hazardous waste can come in many forms:Solids, liquids, sludges, or gases. If handled sloppily, the harmful material can contaminate surface water and underground reservoirs. Hazard waste can be toxic, reactive, ignitable, corrosive, infectious, or radioactive. Governments practice to regulate hazardous waste management. Hazardous waste can be treated by chemicals, thermal, biological, and physical methods. Thermal treatment is used to detoxify, burn, and destroy the harmful organic waste. Biological treatment uses GMO Bacteria and microbes that can metabolize the waste, to "eat" the hazardous waste. Chemical treatment includes ion exchange, precipitation, oxidation and reduction and neutralization. Hazardous waste that cannot have treatment goes to either landfills or underground injections.  Liquid waste is put into a "lagoon" of its type. Landfills are secure to not contaminate much of the environment.
