The topic we have decided to explore is the following : Our challenge is to turn local garbage into energy, especially in developing countries. In order to evaluate the success of our project, we have to fix a set of goals and challenges. First of all we have to take into account our main challenge: GARBAGE. Our expectations are the following: - Clean the streets - Collect & Recycle the garbage - Burn the garbage to create energy during the process - Use the residues for the raw materials components The garbage burnt will be used for creating green energy (according to the respect of environment)
Our paper[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
Is it impossible to eradicate garbage on earth ? Making the impossible, possible that is why we discover. Especially through out this video we discover that we are able to turn our garbage into energy.
Garbage is available on every corner of the world. Every year 2.6 trillion pounds (approximately) of garbage is collected globally and not even ¼ is used for recycle or any kind of purposes. Developing nations do not have efficient skills, finance or know-how of how to recycle or utilise their garbage. Some of the develop nations like France, UK or Germany export they garbage to Sweden. The wealthy countries are develop enough to control this kind of technology and to develop it. What about countries who do not treat or recycle garbage at all? It makes the country dirty and unsafe which leads to diseases and causes environmental hazards.
Let’s clean the world!
The impacts of solving the worldwide issue around bad waste management would be witnessed in several fields such as access to renewable energy for all, reduction of health problems triggered by dumped garbage. Finally, it caps pollution effects on the population and on the Earth
To begin with, it would improve access to renewable energy. Indeed, it will be an advantage for developing countries to know how to reuse theirs wastes thanks to a recycling process in order to create energy. Such a solution could make people more aware about recycling and renewable energies. As waste is produced all around the world and especially problematic in the Southern countries, it is a way to simplify the access to energy for everyone.
Moreover, using garbage to produce energy stays less expensive than developing a nuclear plant. As a consequence, electricity costs might decrease and be more affordable around the world.
Our breakthrough is also to increase the capacity of developing countries to tackle health issues. In a village called Karungalpatti, numbers of mosquitoes and stray dogs have increased because of uncollected or dumped waste. This situation represents a risk for inhabitants, as stays dogs can bring illnesses and so do mosquitoes. Due to poor hygeneic conditions, typhoid, malaria and cholera have spread over the village. This situation illustrates that a better waste recycling could fix part of the health problem.
Finally, waste dumping is against the environment, as it triggers soil contamination, or rivers / sea pollution. Reducing it will improve the quality of the air, soil, even water in certain parts of the world. Using renewable energy tends to reduce the greenhouse effect.
It can have an impact on the "plastic continent", and decrease it. Such an initiative would have a great impact on the biodiversity, in the sea, on the earth and in the air.
