Plastic garbage, which is one of the biggest problems of our time, has recently damaged our world. Due to the nature of some plastic garbage, which has a very long time to dissolve in nature and is harmful even after dissolving, it is quite dangerous for our waters, our soil and more, even for living things. In short, the only problem is not the smell of garbage and spoiling our eyesight. So what can we do to recycle these plastics? the answer is simple.

After being washed, the plastic wastes that are separated according to their types are crushed in crushing machines, divided into small pieces and dried. After drying, it is melted, passed through molten plastic filters, cut and sized, and turned into granules (plastic raw material).

Recycled plastics can be used as automotive spare parts, greenhouse in agriculture, fiber, filling material, waste water pipes, clothing industry, fuel industry, bottles, boxes and similar products.

Wood. Cutting boards, toothbrushes, latches and many other products made of wood, in other words, wood is an alternative option for plastic.

As you can see, what we need to do is to throw the plastics in the recycling bins that we need to throw away and contribute to their recycling. As you can see, what we need to do to solve one of today's biggest problems is that simple.
Thus, we can not only get rid of bad smells and images, but also contribute to the economy, the psychology of the people of the region, and more importantly, I can say, the environment.

We all grumble about our cities' problems. But as a citizen what can we do?

For example rubbish problem. Rubbish is one of the smallest problem in our country. But as a result, it is a problem. We can solute this problem.

The First problem is people are reckless because they can’t find a bin, so they drop the trash on the streets.

As a volunteer, if we put bins everywhere for environment week, people would put their trash in bins. And then we can pick up all the trash bins and drop them all into the real bins.

More people, clean country!

What can we do about our cities problems? 

# data[].attributes.body
Of course, Everybody wants to see their cities cleaner and more beautiful than now . We always say that our cities have problems . Well, Let us think what can we do for our cities problems ?

One of the problems our city is bins. For example, if i want to put my litter , i can 't find a bin sometimes or it takes long that i found a bin somewhere . So, We could have more bins everywhere , if we did that , people would throw their litter in them. Another problem is transportation.  People go everywhere by their cars and it makes traffic problems . It also causes air pollution too. Also there are problems about the public transportation in our city because it gets so crowded sometimes . The solution is to improve public transport. As a result,  people would use public transport more than now. It means fewer cars and less air pollution.

If we did something for our city,  I am sure it would be cleaner , more beautiful and happier place than now.

# data[].attributes.body
Everybody know that enviroment is of the essence in the world. But people don't keep the clean. For example they throw away the their litter on the around or they mostly use own car to go to the somewhere. This also couse of air pollution.  Therefore people have some disease such as asthma
and allergy. So what can we do prevent this?

Firstly we can put trush bins every corner. In this way everybody can find a bin easily and they throw away them in the bin. Also somebody who throw away them on the around can be punished by the goverment. Secondly people should be encourcaged to use public transportation. It also cause of the air pollution. If we didn't do these, enviroment had more cleaner place.

However  even if people apply this action , of course they can't stop this problem but maybe we can  decrease it.

HOW CAN OUR CİTY BE BETTER
We all want to live in beautiful and peaceful city. But we have problems and we need to solve them. I want to mention three problems .

One problem is the air pollution. This is because the people cut the trees for a build house, car exhausts and fireworks. The solution is we have to plant lots of trees. Trees are very important to nature. Another problem is the street animals are always hungry and thirsty. This means, people think' animals find food for eat, someone else give the food.' But it is not true. İf everyone think like this, animals will be starve. We can put box of food but please be careful don't put where people walk. Especialy in summer, they aren't find water so we should put more box of water. The last problem is traffic. İf we alone, we should go everywhere by public transport. Then there aren't a lot of cars and maybe if subway are build underground, traffic will be less.

İf we think and do something for our city, our city will be peaceful. Please take care of your city, in this way the world will be better too.

Environmental pollution occurs as a result of humans harming nature, which causes damage to the world.

Throwing litter on the ground, using chemicals such as perfumes, the gases coming out of factory chimneys and car exhausts are the main reasons for this, we had to prevent them.

In order to prevent environmental pollution, we can start by giving information to children, raising their awareness about this issue, organizing various activities and making it a fun game for them and then a habit for them, on the other hand, giving punishments to adults who pollute the environment can stop them.

If we can apply them correctly and apply them to life, we will save our world to a great extent. A clean environment will be a beautiful future. Let's not lose our world.

Air Pollution İn Bursa

One of the biggest problems of our city is ari pollution. According to 2022 data, Bursa is in the first three countries terms of air pollution.
We all want to have clean Air. But we don't act like we want this. We don't have enough trees in our city. But we don't anything about planting. Also most of us use personel cars for transportation. Bursa is an industiry city. There are many factories. Their flues emit toxic gases. These are couses of air pollution in our city.
But we can prevent air pollution. If we plant more trees we can have clean air. We can end air pollution if we use more public transport. If the government check the factories every year and the factory owners use filters for factory flues we can prevent the air pollution.

Pollution in Bursa
We see that there is a lot of traffic in the mornings in our beautiful city, Bursa. The reason for this is, of course, people who don't prefer public transport. It is inevitable that there will be traffic problems in this city where almost every family has a private car. This density of vehicles also causes air pollution. We observe that respiratory disorders are common in our city. For reducing the air pollution everyone should do something.
Pollution is not limited to air. In Bursa, also the seas and the streets are polluted by people. People should learn not to leave garbage on the seaside and in the sea. It is also a simple rule not to throw garbage on the ground. It's funny how people are so ignorant. Anti-environmental movements should be given heavy penalties. If you have a mind, protect your environment!

We can save electricity by turning off unnecessary lights and using energy-saving light bulbs in our homes to provide a better environment for future generations. We can prevent future water shortages by conserving as much water as possible. Instead of driving while traveling, we can reduce environmental pollution by using public transport, electric vehicles or bicycles. We can prevent air pollution by using renewable energy sources instead of using fossil fuels. We can contribute to the environment by separating the recycling in our homes from the garbage. By increasing the thermal insulation in our homes, we reduce the use of natural gas and, as a result, reduce carbon emissions. The use of solar panels is also effective in reducing carbon emissions. We can plant trees in our garden or anywhere for fresh air.

The big problem in front of Bursa : Air Pollution.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone living in Bursa at least once complains about: “Air Pollution”. Most people today live in big cities instead of the countryside and these cities are experiencing some problems due to high population growth. Bursa is the city that has the most problems after Istanbul . and air pollution is one of these problems in our city. Things that cause air pollution in Bursa are fuel gases, harmful cosmetic products, coal use, traffic density. But the real problem is the incorrect positioning of the industry factories. Especialy, industrial zones such as Kestel are direct examples of this.

So let's see how we can solve these problems

The first thing to do is to  raise educated persons on this subject and after that hybrid or low engine displacement vehicles can be selected when purchasing a vehicle, public transport use can be increased , better city and industrial plans can be made

All of us wants to live in a better city, if we can take some measures, we will take an important step in this way by reducing air pollution.

One of the biggest problems of our city is air pollution. According to 2022 data, Bursa is in the first three countries terms of air pollution in Turkey.
We all want to have clean air. But we don't act like we want this. We don't have enough trees in our city but we don't anything about planting. Also most of us use personel cars for transportation. And Bursa is an industiry city. There are many factories. Their flues emit toxic gases. These are couses of air pollution in our city.
But we can prevent the air pollution. If we plant more trees we can have clean air. We can end air pollution if we use more public transport. If the government check the factories every year and the factory owners use filters for factory flues we can prevent the air pollution.

In Bursa we suffer from New Worlds problems like traffic air pollution less green places e.t.c

First of all we built lots of buildings instead of green places and roads. The roads are very thight and crowded. We need to make roads instead of buildings and use more public transport. In past Bursa was knew as green city but today Bursa's green took over by the buildings. We have to make more parks plant more trees, and stop building unneccesary buildings. The other problem is the population. Bursa took over too many migration from other countryies in war and small cities. Also the foreign population of Bursa breeded so much that some spaces is almost took over by them like Kent Meydanı. We need to send them to their countries.

GREEN CITIES

Everybody wants to live green places or livable places. In their places or cities we feel good and we mood are happy, positive. Whenever we see piles of litters while walking on the street, it is bad. there are so many solution.

By recycling and reusing waste products, we can help the city stay green and eco-friendly by reusing old products creatively. so there is not much waste.

People can use public transportation. Gas emission to the environment will not be much and no air pollution.

Bazaar markets in cities. Markets can be   with organic products so people buy organic products. they live healthily. there is natural waste in the environment.

In this way, we can make cities greener with small steps. Cities become more livable.

# data[].attributes.body
Environmental pollution is the biggest problem of our time. We all want to live in a greener and cleaner environment. So how can we provide this environment?

We can organize seminars to inform the public in schools, workplaces, anywhere open to the public. We can put more recycling bins on the streets . We can use public transport for transportation. We can plant more trees. We can create new parking areas. We can set penalties for those who pollute the environment.

If we can do these, we can have a cleaner air and a greener environment. Although we cannot completely eliminate environmental pollution, we can minimize it. We can make our city and our world more livable.

# data[].attributes.body
It is our duty to protect the environment in which we live, because if we don't take good care of it, we could've die with it. So let's ask ourselves the question, how can we make our environment more livable?

The answer is actually so simple, find the problem and solve it. For example air pollution.Air pollution must be taken seriously because if its getting more worse the Ozone layer getting thinner and this cause of acid rains which of can hurts our skin and ruins our plants.
This pollution increases even more if the majority of the population drives individually cars rather than on public transport, and if deodorant over-squeezes scents such as perfume.

But if the majority, if possible, all people use vehicles such as buses or bicycles, if they use sufficient doses of perfume-like things, this situation will decrease.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, our biggest problem is global warming now how can we stop that? Exhaust gases of personal cars are one of the reasons that problem. If we can use public tranporters like busses or mini busses we can decrease the exhaust gases level minimum. We must reduce our carbon footprint to zero.

Plastıc

Global production and consumption of plastic has increased by over a factor of 20 since the 1960s. Today, 40 percent of global plastics production is for packaging and 95 percent is single-use.

Although demand for plastic is forecast to continue rising, growth in production and consumption is coupled with an inefficient global waste management system, resulting in less than a fifth of plastic waste being recycled.

plastic pollution

As plastic does not break down naturally, it is polluting natural systems, including rivers and oceans.

The production, use and disposal of plastics also creates significant greenhouse gas emissions throughout the different stages of the plastic value chain. According to research by the Center for International Environmental Law, greenhouse gas emissions from plastic could represent 10-13 percent of the entire remaining carbon budget by 2050 (in the context of the 1.5 degree goal of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Paris Agreement).

hıstory of plastic pollution

As the environmental consequences of plastic become increasingly apparent, regulation and consumer behaviours have started to change. The impact of plastic pollution on the marine environment in particular has been in the spotlight, posing reputational risks for companies and investors.As regulations shift countries toward circular economy models, there are opportunities for future investments to address plastic pollution and the other related impacts. Potential solutions exist at each stage of the circular economy: design, reuse, repair and recycling.

However, solutions cannot be assessed in isolation and must be considered in the context of the whole plastics value chain. Collaboration across the value chain is required in order to develop impactful solutions. Investors can encourage collaboration and consider the rest of the value chain when investing in solutions.

" PLASTIC WILL BE THE MAIN INGREDIENT OFF ALL OUR GRANDCHILDREN'S RECIPES "

Each year, close to 20 billion plastic bottles are tossed in the trash. Carry a reusable bottle in your bag, and you'll never be caught having to resort to a Poland Spring or Evian again. If you're nervous about the quality of your local tap water, look for a model with a built-in filter

Ninety percent of the plastic items in our daily lives are used once and then chucked: grocery bags, plastic wrap, disposable cutlery, straws, coffee-cup lids. Take note of how often you rely on these products and replace them with reusable versions.

SOME WAY OF THE SOLVE PLASTIC POLLUTİON

Stop buying water

Wean yourself off disposable plastics.

It seems obvious, but we're not doing a great job of it. For example, less than 14 percent of plastic packaging is recycled. Confused about what can and can't go in the bin? Check out the number on the bottom of the container.

What can we do about our cities problems?

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone wants their city to look beautiful and be clean. But we won't succeed if no one tries. We have to do something about this.
One of the problems of our city is transportation. Everyone wants to be comfortable and have a short trip. As a result, everyone uses their own private car, and traffic problems arise. In addition, this increases air pollution. If we use public transport more, we can prevent this problem.
Another problem is waste. We need to recycle our waste such as plastic and paper. Because plastic disappears in nature for a very long time and pollutes the environment. The use of too much paper is causing the destruction of our trees.
We also need to pay attention to energy and water use. We should not use electricity and water unnecessarily.
If we pay attention to our behavior towards the environment, we can leave a better world for future generations, and I'm sure it will be much better for everyone

Everyone wants to live in a clean and beautiful city.
But most people escape from the responsibilities it brings, and we should not do these things.
If we want to live in a clean city, we should first use public transportation.
This is a good method to reduce air pollution.
We should plant trees in the environment and not throw garbage in places.
We should pay attention to recycling especially plastic batteries, paper, etc.we should throw things into recycling bins.

We live in a world full of energy sources. We all think they'll never run out even if we use them blindly. But thats not true. People consumed the potable waters by polluting them, petrol is almost finished. And we are not aware of these problems. By not making it better, we're making it worse.

I want to mention the pollution in our world by talking about batteries. They are a big part of our lives. We need batteries to store chemical energy and turn it into an electrical form. Our phones, remote controls, clocks and all those other things that we have in our houses involve batteries which are disposable. But does it even worth the price of killing our future? Do we even know the real harm of them?

A lot of people throw their waste batteries to the streets, to their trash bin. Once the batteries finish their lifetime, we can't recycle them anymore. The disintegration of batteries take up to 300 years. When people throw them into nature, their chemicals get mixed into the rivers and soil. It affects the water we drink and the vegetable that comes straight into our kitchen. It causes problems in human body such as nervous system diseases. And not only for people but they are dangerous for both animals and plants.

To avoid those things, we should raise the awareness and collect them separately in a bag. Then we can throw the batteries into the waste battery collection bins in our city. It may look like a small action, but those small actions are the things that will change our world.

How to make our cities better places?
Cities are the places that we live with other people. Cities are our natural habitat. So we should protect that habitat. But how can we do that? Let's discuss.
+Firstly, our focus shouldn't be only on "ourselves". We should think about next generations. Because there were people before us, and there will be people after us. That's how the world works. That's the mechanism.
+Secondly, after we thought  about those, we should create and make new things. Or we should continue things that we already have done. For example, recycling. We should recycle the materials. Sometimes it could be expensive but it's necessary for our world. Making a new one (instead of recycling) is the easiest way. And that's not the solution.
+Thirdly, we should plant trees. It can be fruit trees, it can be oxgenly rich trees or just cute trees. Trees are important. For our health, animals health and for Earth.

Life is important for us. Earth is important for our life. They're nearly same and please, if you do somethings for your life, do it for world too. Next generations' life up to us. That's the loop and please keep it up.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many pollution problems in our country. especially air and water pollution, which we can draw attention to lately. But while it is difficult to overcome them, it is not impossible. In order to overcome these pollutions, the first thing we need to do is to attract people's attention. For example, preparing billboards, collecting signatures and scheduling cleaning days are among the simplest and most effective solutions. Of course, we should not forget about less noticeable pollution such as noise pollution. Likewise, the solution to a problem like this is to raise awareness of people. At the end of the job just pay attention and try to keep your surroundings clean so your environment will keep up with you.

Aspirational Recycling And What We Can Do About It To Help Our City

Aspirational Recycling And What We Can Do About It To Help Our City

# data[].attributes.body
The recycling industry is of great help to our cities, and we need to protect it. The industry runs on us as the citizens, which means our city also needs us to be extra careful with what we recycle. Most of us don't see a problem with throwing a piece of paper onto the ground yet we still act like we care about the environment. We talk about how important it is to be eco friendly, but at the same time most of us don't even check the trashcan we are throwing our trash into. Recently the trashcans in our classrooms were switched with trashcans exclusive to domestic waste and although that makes sense considering the amount of food based waste we produce every day in our classrooms, it also saddens me that we had to replace the recycling bins with household type bins so we could lessen the amount of contamination we were causing to the actually recyclable waste. We could have had both bins seperately in every classroom & encouraged everyone to use both for the right purposes. The waste we produce in classrooms mostly consist of paper and reusable/recyclable garbage, however as long as we throw in the recyclable trash in the same place as the food leftovers, dirty wrappers, used napkins, or in general just trash that cant be recycled; we will reach nowhere. As long as we dont seperate the recyclable waste from the household rubbish and use the correct bins for every other type of rubbish, we will be facing consequences.
Littering is already a huge problem on its own, and aspirational recycling just adds onto the whole situation. We need to inform people, starting from ourselves, about the correct way to dispose of trash and the right way to recycle. So many of us have a tendency to throw away the "clean" products into the recycling bins, and to throw away the "dirty" waste into the household waste bins. Whichever you use, you might not be recycling correctly. So, how about to improve the efficiency of our recycling and journey on improving our cities for the better, we look a bit into what products are recyclable and which aren't? Some things you think could be easily recycled might turn out to be very, very incorrect!
From used cardboard pizza boxes and plastic bags to milk cartons, we all have definitely recycled something incorrectly before. The recycling industry calls this "aspirational recycling" or "wishful recycling". When a good amount of incorrectly recycled batch of trash is amongst actually recyclable waste, that small batch might be a big problem for the whole thing. When a bad batch of "recyclable" waste reaches a recycling facility, waste managers will refuse it. Which would mean all of the actual recyclable material will be going into the landfill. Let's learn a bit about the rubbish we should be careful about.
Starting with simple one-time use plastic bags, which are actually recyclable. They just need to be sorted out seperately with other soft plastics including bubble wrap or ziploc bags; taking their name from the way they are stretchy and soft. These plastics tend to wrap around the keys and gears of the sorting machines so they are not very safe. Next are pizza boxes, or other food wrapper/packages with food scraps on them. These kinds of trash usually tend to have a good amount of oil covering them, that being mainly vegetable oil, and need to be washed before being put into the recycling bin. For pizza boxes, the part where the oil has rubbed off on the cardboard needs to be cut; and the rest is okay to recycle. Milk cartons also need to be rinsed with water. And obviously we have batteries. Batteries and electronics are most definitely not safe to be thrown out with other recyclable garbage. There are many drop-off places for batteries, especially in local markets in our city. Dead batteries must be collected carefully.
This is only a small and general part of aspirational recycling and its harms for the recycling industry. We should make sure to educate more people on this matter and research about it ourselves when we get the chance. For the sake of our home, our city, we must take responsibility in keeping the recycling industry alive and well. Stay green and keep your city, but most importantly, the world healthy.

The proliferation of plastic products in the last several decades has been extraordinary. Quite simply, humans are addicted to this nearly indestructible material. We are producing over 380 million tons of plastic every year, and some reports indicate that up to 50% of that is for single-use purposes – utilized for just a few moments, but on the planet for at least several hundred years. It’s estimated that more than 10 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year.
Plastic is cheap and incredibly versatile with properties that make it ideal for many applications. However, these qualities have also resulted in it becoming an environmental issue. We have developed a “disposable” lifestyle and estimates are that around 50% of plastic is used just once and thrown away.

Harbin international ice and snow festival

Location of the festival:
It takes place in Harbin, China. Harbin is the second largest city by urban population after Shenyang and the largest city by metropolitan population in Northeast China.  First citizens of the city were the immigrants who came from the Russian Empire. Harbin was originally a Manchu word, meaning "a place for drying fishing nets". But it is also known as the "ice city" because of it's long and tough winters.

If you are looking for a place to spend your  winter holiday i definitely recommend that. With the shining lights, various activities, magnificent atmosphere, it's the perfect place for winter lovers. But let me warn you first, it's not the perfect festival for the ones who get easily sick. You'll feel the cold in your bones if you don't bring a flawless winter coat. But if you are okay with these conditions, you'll live the best days of your life.

Presentation

The Day of the Dead is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6, may be included depending on the locality. It is widely observed in Mexico, where it largely developed, and is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage.

The Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration.

How Is the Day of the Dead Celebrated?

El Día de los Muertos is not, as is commonly thought, a Mexican version of Halloween, though the two holidays do share some traditions, including costumes and parades. On the Day of the Dead, it's believed that the border between the spirit world and the real world dissolve. During this brief period, the souls of the dead awaken and return to the living world to feast, drink, dance and play music with their loved ones.

In turn, the living family members treat the deceased as honored guests in their celebrations, and leave the deceased's favorite foods and other offerings at gravesites or on the ofrendas built in their homes. Ofrendas can be decorated with candles, bright marigolds called cempasuchil and red cock's combs alongside food like stacks of tortillas and fruit.

The roots of the Day of the Dead, celebrated in contemporary Mexico and among those of Mexican heritage in the United States and around the world, go back some 3,000 years, to the rituals honoring the dead in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The Aztecs and other Nahua people living in what is now central Mexico held a cyclical view of the universe, and saw death as an integral, ever-present part of life.

Upon dying, a person was believed to travel to Chicunamictlán, the Land of the Dead. Only after getting through nine challenging levels, a journey of several years, could the person's soul finally reach Mictlán, the final resting place.

In Nahua rituals honoring the dead, traditionally held in August, family members provided food, water and tools to aid the deceased in this difficult journey. This inspired the contemporary Day of the Dead practice in which people leave food or other offerings on their loved ones' graves, or set them out on makeshift altars called ofrendas in their homes.

The Mexican celebration known as the Day of the Dead has developed from ancient traditions. The Mexican civilization has been observing rituals that celebrate the deaths of ancestors for more than 2,500 years.

It was a festival that was held in the ninth month of the Aztec calendar, around the beginning of August, that developed into the modern celebration. And the celebrations lasted for a whole month. A goddess known as the "Lady of the Dead" was who the festival was dedicated to and she corresponds to the modern La Calavera Catrina.

Towards the end of the 20th century it was common practice for most regions of Mexico to honor dead children on November 1st, with dead adults being honored on November 2nd. November 1st is referred to as Dia de los Inocentes (Day of the Innocents) as well as Dia de los Angelitos (Day of the Little Angels).

RECOMMENDATION

I think it's very special that they can do such things instead of constantly worrying about their dead.I would like to participate in this festival because it looks like a lot of fun in the videos I watch.

cherry blossom festival with twice the number of pink blossoms

From late April to Early May, Hirosaki Park in Aomori Prefecture
Has some of Japan's best cherry blossoms. Impressive in scale and picturesque in setting, the Hirosaki Park cherry blossoms are one of Japan's top locations for hanami, or cherry blossom viewing.

Don't Miss

Walking along the Sakura Tunnel on the West Moat

Seeing Hirosaki Castle among the blooming cherry trees

How to Get There

Hirosaki Park is in the central part of Hirosaki City   and can be reached by train or bus.

The park is a 15-minute bus ride from Hirosaki Station. Get off at Shiyakusho-mae bus stop. You can also walk to the park from Hirosaki Station in about 30 minutes.

Magnificent pink

With around 2,600 sakura trees, some of which are over 300 years old, the scale of the Hirosaki Park Cherry Blossoms is tremendous. The park has more than 50 varieties of sakura trees, including the most famous type, somei yoshino. It also includes shidare-zakura, the weeping cherry trees, and yae-zakura, the double-layer cherry trees.

The secret is Aomori's apples

Using the same pruning techniques that Aomori farmers use on their apple trees, the groundskeepers in Hirosaki Park have made the cherry trees flower with more buds than most other cherry trees. The volume of flowers on every branch is nearly double what grows naturally.

Sakura trees heavy with blossoms

The best viewing is at night

At night, the sakura trees and Hirosaki Castle are lit up, adding drama to the natural beauty. Take a walk around to see the cherry blossoms in another light.

The Japanese have believed that God dwells in everything as said, "eight million gods." Matsuri (Japanese cultural festival) is held to show thanks to God for nature, for life and for growth in a community. It is also an opportunity for Japanese people with severe and hardworking images to explode their energy.

İf you like to see this magnificent sight of cherry blossoms why not to go there.
İt could make you feel relaxed too.
