| | | A number of students from the environmental
culture course showed many ideas about recycling of waste at home.
Manufacturing different types of soap by different methods will decrease the
levels of used oils that may released to the sewage systems. Another group made
compost from organic waste in the house. This idea reduces the amount of waste that
adversely affects the environment, and uses it as a fertilizer to improve the
soil. Finally, other ideas were presented, such as the renewal of an old table
lamp and re-use of some plastic waste at home.
In order to reduce pollution, awareness
should be spread through individuals, and society. In fact, the culture of
recycling at home is important to preserve our environment safe and clean for us
and the future generations.
