Pollution Prevention

By Hope Sardella

An important question in the study of environmental science is if we as a society can mitigate pollution and reverse a fraction of the damage we have inflicted on mother earth. Before going on, it is important to understand that waste must be managed at all stages of its life including; “production, handling, storage, transport, processing and ultimate disposal, which includes the Duty of Care.” (“Waste Management”, 2008). My objective here is to suggest that the town of Ashford engage in a complete reform of solid waste management, wastewater management, as well as hazardous waste is crucial to sustaining the biodiversity of the planet and ensuring the longevity of all humans and living organisms on earth and in the town of Ashford. As everyone who lives and prospers in the town of Ashford knows, that the people in the community love nature and their town and do their best to continue to keep the streets a clean and habitable place to live and raise our families. but there are some difficult global issues at play that can be difficult to control.


To commence the author will examine possible solutions to mitigate solid waste production in the face of a ceaselessly increasing global population. Subsequently, I will establish a plan of action for solid waste that cannot be prevented. The analysis then proceeds to develop strategies to reduce the amount of wastewater in Ashford. Furthermore, the author will explore possible options for new innovative ways to manage wastewater that treatment facilities are unable to prevent. Moving forward, the analysis will highlight a future land management program that will work towards limiting deforestation and overexploitation of our natural resources. The analysis ends by taking a step back a reviewing these proposed strategies, and demonstrate the ability to feasibility to execute and successfully implement intended changes, as well as considering the political roadblocks that could prevent society from moving forward.


Plan to reduce solid waste

Recent developments in the field of waste management have led to a renewed interest in alleviating the global footprint. One of the primary battles that most major cities face is the increasing global population.


Plan to manage unpreventable waste

Subsequently, I will establish a plan of action for solid waste that cannot be prevented. Plan to prevent excess wastewater .Building on these ideas, the need to reduce our populations collective waste production is imperative to continued health, disease control and most importantly maintaining the biodiversity of our planet. Some common difficulties that have surfaced when treating wastewater are the use of regulated & unregulated chemicals, decreasing fresh water, as well the ever-dwindling supply of the phosphorus (Drangert, J., 1998). To aggressively reduce the wastewater in the town of Ashford, significant measures must be taken in developing policies that will implement innovations to the Plan to prevent unpreventable waste water Furthermore, the author will explore possible options for new innovative ways to manage wastewater that treatment facilities are unable to prevent.


Moving forward, the analysis will highlight a future land management program that will work towards limiting deforestation and overexploitation of our natural resources. The analysis ends by taking a step back a reviewing these proposed strategies as well the feasibility to execute and successfully implement intended changes, as well as considering the political roadblocks that could prevent society from moving forward. To Conclude: To conclude the author examined resolutions to mitigate solid waste production. Subsequently, the team assessed a plan of action for unpreventable solid waste. Thirdly the analysis work towards strategies to reduce the wastewater in the city of Ashford. Furthermore, the author will explore possible options for new innovative ways to manage wastewater that treatment facilities are unable to prevent. Moving forward, the analysis will highlight a future land management program that will work towards limiting deforestation and overexploitation of our natural resources. The analysis ends by taking a step back a reviewing these proposed strategies as well the feasibility to execute and successfully implement intended changes, as well as considering the political roadblocks that could prevent society from moving forward.
