Waste Generation and Management

Activity 3: Soil Conservation for Future Generations


Part I
Source of Soil

Degradation/Erosion
1. Keep animals away from stream banks, where hills are
Overgrazing Animals
especially prone to erosion.
2. Plant tall trees around fields to buffer the effect of wind. Agricultural Depletion
3. Drive tractors as little as possible. Agricultural Depletion
4. Use drip irrigation that puts small amounts of water in the
Agricultural Depletion
ground frequently.
5. Reduce the amount of land that we log and mine. Deforestation and
Mining
6. Reduce the number of roads that are built to access logging
Deforestation
areas.
7. Avoid logging and mining on steep lands. Agricultural Depletion
8. Cut only small areas at one time and quickly replant logged
Deforestation
areas with new seedlings.
9. Where water collects, drain to creeks and rivers. Development and
Expansion
10. Landscape with plants that minimize erosion. Development and
Expansion
11. Reduce the amount of land that we turn into cities, urban Development and
areas, parking lots, etc.. Expansion
12. Keep as much “green space” in cities as possible, such as Development and
strips of trees where plants can grow. Expansion
13. Invest in and use new technologies for parking lots that
Development and
make them permeable to water in order to reduce runoff of

water.
14. Leave leaf litter on the ground. Agricultural Depletion
15. Grow cover crops, special crops grown in the dry season to
Agricultural Depletion
cover the soil.
16. Avoid using off-road vehicles on hilly lands. Recreational Activities
17. Stay on designated trails. Recreational Activities
18. Avoid watering crops with sprinkles that make big water

drops on the ground.
19. Keep fields as flat as possible to avoid soil eroding

downhill.
20. Move animals throughout the year, so they don’t consume
Overgrazing Animals
all the vegetation in one spot.
21. Avoid building on steep hills. Development and
Expansion
22. Reuse the used lubricants from vehicles and farm Improper Wastes
equipment. Disposal
23. Grade surrounding land to distribute water rather than Development and
collecting it in one place. Expansion
24. Follow the correct disposal of chemical wastes. Improper Wastes
Disposal

Part II
Source of Soil
Preventive Strategies
Degradation/Erosion
Have Terracing, Crop Rotation, Contour Plowing. Agricultural Depletion

Practice vertical gardening. Overgrazing Animals

Do Vertical Expansion not horizontal. Development and Expansion

Enforce No hiking policy. Recreational Activities

Asked every individual to plant 10 trees. Deforestation

Stop mining every 7 years. Mining

Compact the solid wastes thrown in landfill. Improper Waste Disposal

Part III
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.

Poster
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.

Activity 1: Understanding Solid Wastes


A.
1. Solid waste/municipal solid waste

2. Waste Management Hierarchy

3. Source reduction/waste prevention


4. Combustion

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.

Activity 2: Focusing on Liquid Wastes


A. The picture shows our irresponsibility who it comes to waste ad resource management
for water is resource management for water is a resource that we all need, and it is
where factory wastes or excrements are thrown. There’s nothing wrong with
evolution, however, everyone must address its causes and effects such as factory
waste.

B.
1. Effluent 6. Sullage 11. Oxygen Demand
2. Waste Water 7. Sewage 12. Biochemical Oxygen
3. Liquid Waste 8. Sewers 13. Chemical Oxygen Demand
4. Blackwater 9. Suspended Solids 14. Pathogenic
5. Greywater 10. Biodegradation 15. Inorganic

Activity 3: All About Gaseous Wastes


1. Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOx), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxides of Sulfur (SOx)
2. The gaseous wastes are generated in to environment mainly due to anthropogenic
activities.
3. Conserve Energy. This reduces the need to produce energy because the consumption
is lessened. O conserve energy, turn off and unplug any unused appliances, use an
energy life-saving light bulb, and limt the use of appliances.

1. Option 1: Poster (E-Poster)

Guide Questions:
Solid Waste Liquid Waste Gaseous Waste
 Residential  Industrial  Automobiles
 Industrial  Commercial  Factories
 Commercial  Residential  Burning of fossil fuels

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
