Based on a YouTuber school of permaculture, to use the soil-texture diagram we can
look at the side of the triangle is clay, silt and percent sand. And if you notice the numbers on
all sides it starts at 10 up to 100 and then down to 100, and 10 across to 100. On how we
reflect those numbers on to this chart. Assuming we have a jar of 60% clay, 20% silt and 20
% sand that they have similar color. Clay side we’re at 60% and we look on the clay side 60
in the diagram and after that we’re going to move horizontal line, on the silt side we’re at 20
so we start at 20 on the Percent Silt side ad goes down on diagonal path and on the sand side
we also start at 20 and goes up, so find where this intersects, and base here it’s on the whole
piece of the diagram in the figure so that’s clay so we can safely say that the soil type we
assume in the jar ends up being a clay. So, in summary, where the 3 percentage intersects
that’s the type of soil they are, these categories have been arranged into a triangle called the
soil texture triangle. To use it, you follow the diagonal lines leaning to the left for your sand
composition, the horizontal lines for your clay composition, and the diagonal lines leaning to
the right for your silt composition.

Yes, there is prevailing soil degradation in our locality. Almost all farmers in our
locality clear trees and other plants and plow up the soil to plant crops like rice and corn.
Without its natural plant cover, the soil is more exposed to rain and wind and is therefore
more likely to get washed or blown away. I can help solve the problem by planting more trees
and saying to them that they must leave some lands alone.
5. Recycling
B.
1. Solid wastes include solid portions of the discarded material such as glass bottles,
crockeries, plastic containers, metals and radioactive wastes. The solid wastes may
be biodegradable or non-biodegradable.
2. One of the simplest ways to decrease the amount of waste you produce is to use the
method reuse, reduce, recycle method, Reduce, means to minimize the amount of
waste we create. Reuse refers to using items more than once. Recycle means
putting a product to a new use instead of throwing it away. Rethink is about
considering how our actions affect the environment. Recover refers to the practice
of putting waste products to use.
3. Among the methods of Waste Management Hierarchy, the most useful for me is
Recycling, including Composting method, because when we recycle waste, we
show our creative abilities and I believe if we recycle waste we can reduce the
waste in the world and if we recycle we can reduce the use of making the product
that can cause pollution.

2. a. Residential wastewater will probably only contain domestic liquid wastewater but
in commercial areas there will also be wastes from businesses such as shops, cafes,
and restaurants. This may increase the proportion of fats and oils in the effluent.
b. Both residential and industrial wastewater will contain organic wastes but
domestic waste is unlikely to include toxic chemicals, which will be found in many
types of industrial waste.
Reflection
1. I learned that waste is an inevitable by-product of human life, and the
recommendation of waste management hierarchy.
2. I enjoyed most on describing how people generate different types of wastes (solid,
liquid and gaseous) as they make use of various materials and resources in everyday
life.
3. I want to learn more on about the recommendation of waste management hierarchy
