Over the past few months, I have been helping a group of people with special needs by doing activities, every Friday evening. Our meeting place is provided by the parish chaplain. Amongst the many activities, I have decided to grow local oak trees, by re-using ice-cream cups, therefore teaching the people with special needs, the importance of trees, and how to re-use our waste food containers, rather than throwing them for recycling.

Caring for our environment and respecting the countryside is vital in enriching green areas and allowing them to flourish. Rubble walls create a healthy habitat for a number of species, while helping maintain rich soil structures.

This receipt is showing the increase in the expenses we are paying due to the huge amount of waste that is produced in our environment. Therefore the use of natural resources in our everyday life must be accompanied by serious efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle these materials. Only that way can we lessen the burden of ourselves, our development on nature and our environment.

The overuse of plastics in our everyday life has led to the presence of traces of plastic in most of the food chain. Microplastics are present in most fish and natural resources and unless serious measures are taken, the situation is quickly nearing a critical point.

Dangers of Light Pollution: Nature: animals confuse artificial lighting for moon and disrupt their natural cycles Human: Circadian Rhythms- Controlled by ‘Ganglion cells’ found inside the eye, controlling the sleep/ wake/ eat cycle + Behavioural functions + pupillary light reflex (dilation of the pupil)- how much light enters the eye and how much we perceive. Ganglion cells have a peak absorption rate of around 480 nM wavelength (blue light) In short: Wrong colour temperature bluish light pollution has greater effect on our sleep/ wake/ eat cycles (circadian) + Behaviour functions Installing too powerful lighting instead of finding the proper low wattage to produce an adequate amount of luminosity results in light pollution from the reflected surface just under the light source. Waste of electricity to light unused spaces.

I chose waste disposal as my theme for my assignment because I am a environmentalist and I have always wanted not only to keep the environment clean but also to show people how I can shed light on this problem by using photography. My work is to show people how waste disposal is hurting not only us but also the world we live in. By myself using my own mother to symbolize mother nature while a person throws waste onto her will give the viewer a strong feel of human nature over shadowing nature.

The photo shows the drastic reality of how our society will become when consumed by technology. As addicts find happiness within their drug as do we in our technology, the blood and strained eyes represent what damage we a doing to ourselves and our surroundings when we truly become consumed by our devices, which reflects poorly on our environment.

Tea bags are good for composting since they enrich the soil for healthier plants to grow. They add a nitrogen-rich component to the soil and help in balancing the carbon-rich materials found in compost. Thus, these enhance drainage and maintain moisture, promote earthworms, increase oxygen levels and keep the soil structure steady.
