WasTe

What is waste?
Waste is an unwanted substance. It is known as rubbish,trash,garbage or junk depending on the type of material. Living things dispose of waste or toxins from their bodies. There are many waste types which include municipal solid waste, commercial waste and hazardous waste. Waste can be divided into its physical, chemical and biological characteristics.
Solid wastes are waste materials that contain less than 70% of water. They are household garbage,some industrial waste, some mining wastes, and oilfield wastes such as drill cuttings.
Liquid wastes are usually wastewater that contain less than 1% solids. Such waste may contain a lot of dissolved salts and metals.
Sludge is between liquid and solid. Such wastes may contain high concentrations of dissolved salts and metals. Sludge is a class of waste between liquid and solid. They usually contain between 3% and 25% solids, while the rest of the material is water dissolved materials.
Some components of wastes have economical value and can be recycled once correctly recovered. Waste that some people discard may be useful to others. Waste materials are a valuable resource and people should take advantage of this.
Biodegradable waste such as food waste and sewage is broken down naturally by microorganisms. Uncontrolled disposal of biodegradable wastes can cause the release of green house gases that are bad for health as they can cause climate change.
Waste management
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal and monitoring of waste materials. It is done to reduce their effect on health and environment. Waste management can involve solid,liquid,gaseous or
radioactive substances with different methods for each.Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas and for residential and industrial producers. Management for non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in town areas is usually
the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator .
Waste pollution - the impact on the environment.LitteringLittering is the most common visible form of solid waste pollution. The most common irresponsible practice is disposing of waste in public places. Despite signboards forbidding littering, the public still ignore them and continue littering.
Marine debris
Marine debris known as marine litter, is human-created waste that has been deliberately dumped or accidentally become afloat in a lake, sea, ocean or waterway. Four fifths of the ocean debris is seaward from landfills, and washed seaward by storm drains. Other forms of pollution include illegal dumping and leaching.

15 June - 15 July is ICT Month for Larut, Matang & Selama District 2009. Hopefully, all teachers ,pupils and even parents are aware of the importance of ICT knowledge. Thus, are interested to learn and improve on their computer skills. Teachers and pupils must grab the opportunity to learn theseskills and apply them effectively in the teaching & learning process.

With the introduction of Web 2.0 application it is hoped that both teachers and pupils are able to work as a team even from their own homes to complete a project. On top of the school computer laboratory, the cITaKU Lab run by facilitator, En Fadly Hadi from the NCER team provides ICT knowledge to both the teachers and pupils.

The ICT Camp from 1 to 12 June, 2009 has benefitted the Yr 4 and 5 pupils. These pupils have learnt to create emails, surf the websites for information, create greeting cards and their own blogs. Hope, the S.K. Selama ICT Team which is participating in the Anak Perak UPSI ICT Competition will gain a lot of new experience as its members venture into this new project. We believe in, " Nothing Venture, Nothing Gain".

In addition, it will relaunch the recyling campaign in school in order that pupils will use the recycle bins correctly. With the cooperation from the Art and Living Skills teachers, the pupils will be able to create beautiful posters and make handicrafts from recycled objects.

Then, only will the ICT Project entitled,"Waste Disposal AffectsThe Environment" be effective in raising awareness among all pupils in the school to play their role in keeping the environment clean. Thanks for your cooperation in making this ICT Month a great success.

Logging

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Log.

A gum tree (eucalyptus) being felled. Dated to c. 1884-1917, Australia.

Logging is the process in which certain trees are cut down for forest management and timber.

In forestry the term logging is sometimes used in a narrow sense concerning the logistics of moving wood from the stump to somewhere outside the forest, usually a sawmill or a lumber yard. In common usage however the term may be used to indicate a range of forestry or silviculture activities. For example the practice of the removal of valuable trees from the forest has been calledselective logging, sometimes confused with selection cut.^[1]

Illegal logging refers to what in forestry might be called timber theft.^{[2] [3]}

In common usage what is sometimes called clearcut logging is not is necessarily considered a type of logging but a harvest or silviculture method and is simply called clearcutting or block cutting. In the forest products industry logging companies may be referred as logging contractors.

Logging usually refers to above-ground forestry logging. Submerged forests exist on land that has been flooded by damming to create reservoirs. Such trees are logged using underwater logging or by the lowering of the reservoirs in question. Ootsa Lake andWilliston Lake in British Columbia, Canada, are notable examples where timber recovery has been needed to remove inundated forests.
