Activity Title: PROJECT PROPOSAL REGARDING

BURNING DRIED LEAVES MIXED WITH BIODEGRADABLE
AND PLASTIC WASTES
Scenario: You are the resident of a subdivision. Every morning, you see
some people burning dried leaves mixed with biodegradable and plastic
wastes. Some homeowners complain that the smoke from the burning
garbage of their neighbors has caused respiratory ailments. Suggest to
the village’s board of directors to create a regulation banning the burning
of wastes and penalizing the offenders. Submit a proposal containing
the following:
1) The reasons why burning dried leaves, plastic, and other wastes
should be banned. (10 sentences)
The burning of dry leaves, plastics, and other waste should be prohibited
since many people will be affected and many will suffer. We must take
responsibility for our own care of everyone around even to our nature. If they
are not stopped and continue to be done, it may cause air pollution, and
potentially affecting people's health. Violate the rights on environmental
justice values. Incinerators cause problems on the environment in the
villages where they are built, as they carry an excessive amount of pollution
and toxic ash. The climate change that incinerators contribute to
disproportionately impacts these regions, which are often in in the developing
world or communities. Real solutions to our environmental and climate
issues are being developed by people all around the world. One of the
reasons why they should be banned is because our neighbors are different
and not everyone will like this activity. It should not really be done because it
will affect the environment of the community of the subdivision, the makers
can be told to stop because this work is wrong. Open wastes burning
exposes a number of harmful chemicals into the air, as well as causing soil,
water, and food contamination. Significant amounts of greenhouse gases are
released into the atmosphere when open waste when burned.

2) Effects of burning wastes that are detrimental to the environment and

health. (10 sentences)
Burning waste can cause physically and mentally issues both people's health
and environment in which people with asthma, heart disease, emphysema,
or other respiratory diseases are especially sensitive to air pollutants that the
burned waste caused. Lung infections, pneumonia, and allergies are among
 the medical conditions made worse by burning. Pollution is another negative
effect of waste burning, as it can harm the ozone layer, especially burning
plastics which is linked to the greenhouse effect. Significant amounts of
greenhouse gases are discharged into the air when waste is burned openly.
Burning wastes emit a variety of toxic pollutants into the air, as well as
aggravating soil, water, and food contact surfaces. Carbon dioxide,
methane, and particulate matter are examples of such compounds, which
are commonly associated with air pollution and can cause severe respiratory
disease to every individual person if waste burning did not come to an end.
Burning wastes were particularly linked towards the release of environmental
contaminants. Furthermore, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, and
furans, which are all carcinogenic and have been connected to a range of
diseases. The effects of these pollutants are seriously damaging to unborn
fetuses, infants, and children who are exposed to the pollutants through their
parents or through physical touch with the contaminants. As a result, some
many pollutants released by waste burning have the potential to harm
children's and people’s development.

3) Suggested penalty for the offender of the regulation. (Chart/ data grid/
