Recycling and Waste Management

For this project, we were asked to make a poster that is based on a problem we have in society. For this project, i chose waste manegment and recycling. I believe that this topic as many different ways of effected our world. It has become more and more of a problem as we have grown and evolved. People have stopped caring about their environment . This has made a huge impact on our society and that is why i chose this topic for the project. I triednot to edit much of the photos because i believe that this project should be more organic due to the title of it.

 

for my first photo, i chose to take a picture of two different types of trashcans. Although this picture is simple, it shows how WM is trying to get people to put their trash in the right place. The black represents recycling while the other means other waste. This is important because it makes people more aware of where they are putting their trash.

 

For my second photo, i took a picture of a recycling only can. People should be more aware of where they are putting their the trash away. Once the world begins to realize these small signals, it will become extremely cleaner and refreshing environment. I took this photo in my backyard where all of my trashcans are.

 

In my third photo, I took a photo of a water label. I thought this was a good photo to add to my poster because it has recycling labeled all over it. Everywhere you look on anything you eat out of or drink is trying to compel people to be more aware to recycle things. I took this photo in my backyard among other recycled bottles.

 

For my Fourth photo, i took a picture of another recycling bin. I tried to put a lot of emphasis on another problem we find everyday. When a bin says recycle only you do not put your waste in there. It goes the other way as well. you should only put your bottles in the recycling bins because than they go to waste.when you put a bottle in the waste you are giving up on your own world.I took this photo at Calabasas Highschool.

 

In my fifth photo, i took a picture of a clothing and shoes collecting bin. Recycling comes in many different ways. One of these many ways is in giving back to your communtity by giving your old items of clothing to the less of the community. This goes into recyling in many ways. if you throw it in the trash it goes and adds more pollution to our society. What if you could give an old sweater to a child freezing in the winter?

 

For my sixth photo, i took another picture of a waste trashcan. This again goes with the same as picture number four. When there is a waste trashcan, people should not put bottles and or other recycables in it. It is very detrimental to the earths waste and adds even more waste to what we could have used it for.

 

For my seventh photo, i took a typical pictures of the cap from starbucks. You probably did not know but, even starbucks is trying to advertise the importance of recycling. If you look closely at the picture i took, you see that there is a recycling sign on the cap of every single drink. I can say that since this project i have never noticed, but now i am going to pay more attention when im sipping on my drink. Recycle it after! It is not hard.

 

For my eighth photo, i took another photo of the different colors of trashcans. I wanted to put more of an emphasize on the importance of putting your trash in the right place at home so we do not pollute even more. I believe in the importance of watching where you put things even in the comfort of your own home.

 

For my ninth photo,i took a picture of the labeling for WM. These are the people who pollute the earth with everything we are trying to avoid, they are the trash people that come all the time and pick up you trash. One thing they do that kid sand adults rarely do? They take the time to split every single water bottle thrown in the trash. They work extra hours trying to fix the messes we create for them. Half the time, they cant get everything. We could help the out by doing it on our own.

 

For my tenth photo, i saw on my way in from school. I saw that someone just left their starbucks on the floor. I believe that this is unacceptable because of the immense amount of recycling bins their are around school . Instead of taking the time to put it in there, they litered it and let it on the floor. this made me very upset because people did not take the time help out the world by taking one more step. I added a little bit of saturation to this photo to bring our the color of the drink inside the cup.

 

For my next photo, i took a picture of the sign for recycling . Just to make people more aware of it. I decided to take a big picture so people know what to look for when they want to know if it is recycable. I did not do much to the photo. i brightned bit a little and tried to bring out the whites so that the sign would be a little bit more obvious.

 

For my 12 photo, i took a picture of a liquids only bin. this is to recycle liquids. I bet you didnt think that was a real thing but it is. anything that you can recycle, people try to take advantage of it. i did not have to alot of things to this photo. i brightned it and added some contrast and saturation.

 

For my 13 photo, i took a picture of a water bottle. this bottle represents more than what it looks like. in the backround, there are plants and gravel. this is only possible if we recycle and do not pollute our world. i like the depth of field on this photo.

 

For my final photo, i took a photo of another bin. Just capturing more of the reason why i chose this topic. On this photo i added more sturation to bring out the green in the photo. i also added contrast to bring out the sign more on the photo.

 

Overall this project taught me alot about recycling. If i could o something better on this project, i wouldve liked to go to a waste to place to show people the real assfetcts of waste. i had alot of fun doing this project.
