Poor environmental conditions within child-occupied buildings (schools, day care centers, etc.) have been shown to decrease academic performance, increase absenteeism, as well as potentially contributing to various health concerns among students including respiratory irritation, increased asthma attacks, sore throats, and headaches to name a few. It is important to know if potential environmental issues (asbestos, lead-based paint, indoor air quality, mold, drinking water quality, radon, etc.), where appropriate, have been addressed within buildings in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) guidelines to provide a safe environment for the students, teachers, administrators and other staff.

Most recyclable plastics can be recycled only 1-2 times as the size of the carbon chain gets reduced when recycled due to heat and mechanical stress. Most plastic is recycled to make fibers (e.g., for clothing) and most plastic products created with recycled plastics cannot be recycled. Therefore, one of the most effective and sustainable solution to combat this global issue is the prevention or minimization of plastic use. Some practical tips to reduce the plastic waste in businesses and household are provided in this article.

Until moving to Germany in late 2013, I thought about plastics like most Americans – plastics are a convenient material to use and a persistent environmental pollutant. The solid waste our family generated every day did not bother me very much because I knew it was being properly landfilled, and we were properly disposing of recyclable materials whenever we could (paper, pop cans, etc.). Upon our return, however, my three-year German experience caused me to reconsider America’s waste problem and to seriously challenge my thoughts on recycling. Please allow me to explain.
