- The environmental unit estimated 25 million tons of debris.
- It'll take more than 20 years for Japan to recycle everything. (Ford, 2011). ]]> 2019-02-05 15:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327819527 References a01023730 https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327819642 Ford, M. (2011).

Japan established trash collection centers to collect all of the trash & debris to then recycle it.
The timber collected was chipped and used to generate electricity, the metal scraps melted down, the masonry crushed and made into roads and ports, etc. (Ford, 2011). ]]> 2019-02-05 15:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327820391 Defined Problem https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327820713 The city's trash dump was hit by the tsunami causing the city to be filled by dirty water contaminated by trash. As well, the buildings that collapsed left rubble throughout the entire city.]]> 2019-02-05 15:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327820713 Objective https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327824580 Recycle the trash found in the contamined water as well as the soil, investigate it and apply appropriate measures to get rid of the city's rubble.]]> 2019-02-05 15:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327824580 Research Question https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327825706 Will recycling the trash and burning rubble be an effective method to remove the trash from the city a few days after the disaster?]]> 2019-02-05 15:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327825706 Contextualization https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327826600 Public services have the obligation to clean and find a viable way to deal with trash. For example recycling, this gives public services an opportunity to manage waste, while creating material to help other public service sectors, like infrastructure, damaged cars can be recycled and turned into building material to reconstruct the city. If roads are cleaned then other entities can operate with regularity, such as the food bank, healthcare and public transportation. So we have to put all our efforts to clean everything as soon as possible with the help of volunteers, waste management employees, army, urban planners etc. To guarantee the wellbeing of our citizens. ]]> 2019-02-05 15:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327826600 Predictions https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327834417 Because trash management isn’t a problem that is going to be managed at the time of the natural disaster we esteem all of our propositions will come to work months after the disaster. Because we are going to recicle the economy of our island could benefit of this new endeavor. Burning trash is going take a long time but using our natural resources on the future could be a possibility. ]]> 2019-02-05 15:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327834417 Results & Conclusions https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327836266 It will be difficult to recycle most of the trash found in the water but public services will work hard to achieve a big amount of trash recycled. The rubble contains a lot of materials that need to be treated differently so we will use the strategies mentioned in the investigation. This will take a long time because a big part of the city collapsed and we need a lot of people (mentioned in the contextualization) working on this project. The time taken to clean up will depend on the amount of support received.]]> 2019-02-05 15:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/a01023730/uu60wwsrbmr1/wish/327836266
