...Don’t get me started Don’t get me started on plastic surgery. It is not good for anyone, bar a couple of exceptions, and is destroying people. Why would you want to have it anyway? The cost of plastic surgery is ridiculous. Thousands upon thousands wasted on a couple injections. Do people even think before blowing all that cash on it? Sometimes, it isn’t even them who pay for it! Tax payers have to pay for people to get plastic surgery because of our silly little government. The NHS never ceases to amaze me. They think it is more important than things such as research for serious diseases such as cancer; medical equipment; medical supplies to treat patients and for hardworking hospital staff. I mean come on. “Let’s go and throw our money down the drain by buying Botox and other necessary items for plastic surgery rather than medicine to save peoples’ lives. Who needs a life to live anyway? Looks are WAY more important!” The imbeciles who get plastic surgery clearly cannot think and are just plain stupid. They do not have a sensible list of priorities as they prioritize the size of their breasts or the position of their cheeks more crucial than their health. Obviously, they are not educated or otherwise they would realise the risk plastic surgery imposes. One millilitre of Botox too much, only ONE, and you could be in A&E with a huge problem on your hands. Sometimes, people are so desperate to manipulate their face that they go to anyone who can operate on them. Some “doctors”...

...Introduction Plastic water pollution is a national issue that needs to continue to be addressed in Australia and around the world. Although Australia’s waters are not the most polluted in the world our waters are being affected significantly by plastic pollution. Below I have addressed the main causes of plastic water pollution in Australia. The repercussions of plastic pollution on wildlife and humans have also been discussed. The sustainable volunteer work I participated in was picking up litter from two of Canberra’s lakes. There were many positive qualities of this volunteering experience including helping the environment by reducing pollution and recycling items. On a personal note it was also a great way for me to spend time outdoors...

...After high school, I plan on going to college and becoming a Plastic Surgeon here in California. The idea of helping people and making them feel better about themselves will make me feel like a better person and is very appealing to me. Growing up, I had a close relative that was born with a birth defect on her face. She never liked the way she looked, so she decided she wanted to get plastic surgery to get her birth defect removed. This surgery made her look like a completely different person. I was so amazed by the outcome of this surgery, and from that day on, I decided that I wanted to become a plastic surgeon to help people battle their insecurities. Plastic surgeons have many responsibilities and duties. “They are physicians who treat...

...Changing a behaviour: Diminishing my consumption of plastic shopping bags Course: Consumer Behaviour Professor: Luísa Agante Grader: Margaret Ferraz Student: Rui Frias nr. 890 The behaviour I am changing: Wasting shopping plastic bags Disclaimer: I am trying to be as honest and straightforward as possible while also being entertaining and providing for an interesting read. I hope I have not come off in a wrong way. Before When considering which behaviour I would be changing in order to adopt a more sustainable one, I first decided to take some time and start by examining both my daily life and some of the most common non-environmentally friendly behaviours people may engage in: BEHAVIOUR Not recycling Wasting water Wasting plastic bottles Wasting paper Dropping smoked cigarettes on the street WHAT I DO I recycle paper, plastic, glass and batteries I take showers and close the faucets while I brush my teeth and shave I reuse two bottles which I fill with tap water and take to the University everyday I do not generally print my materials, and when I do, I print on both sides I do not smoke Nothing seemed to come up. But there had to be something! I decided to go do something else while I was thinking. I had been needing to clean my room for some time so I took the opportunity and started doing so. It was then, upon looking at my desk, that something caught my eye and I was drawn to the overwhelming quantity of plastic bags that were on top of it (see Annex 1). The thing...

...Personal Reflection Idea Our project started off with an idea presented to the team by Johnny Rowlands. Our objective was to create a working prototype called a ‘Window Weather Vent’ for Mr. Rowlands. After he went through all the information we needed to know about the idea, we started by breaking into teams and dividing them by strengths and weaknesses. Once we were divided in our teams, we asked questions that could affect our team. Questions included things like, what color should the casing be? What material should the panels be made out of? Approximately how big do you want this whole thing to be? Brainstorm We met with Johnny and the problem was laid out for us, it was time for us to brainstorm some ideas and changes we might think will be better for the WWV. The group and I brainstormed any ideas we had and wrote them on a white board we had in class. After we had thrown out everything we thought could be a potential option, we went back through the list and canceled out any obvious outliers that are near impossible to put or that don’t make sense. Then, we divided each idea into each team that made sense for the idea. Plan One of the biggest organizers we had was our Gantt chart. It helped keep work organized along with keeping people accountable for their work. It also helps separate work to specific group members in each team. You were required yourself to update the Gantt chart after working on something to let the group know how much further we have. Every...

...Running Head: THE BOTAX The Botax Andrew K. Keahiolalo Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract There is a new tax being proposed in some states, ironically not California, to tax plastic surgery and related procedures. Through out the course of this document, we will discuss the effects of the tax. Including the relationship between the industry and demand and price, and who will actually pay the tax in the end. The view of this paper is through the eyes of a brand new economist (my self); which is to say that is lacking any profound breakthroughs in economics. It is, however, the issue as I see it, sprinkled with a little humor. Enjoy. The Botax The primal instinct to procreate is in all forms of life. We project our best attributes forward in the hopes that someone might recognize those attributes as necessary in their offspring. We have created a monster. Today a lie is just as good as the truth. To those that can afford it, they can look like what ever they want. Hell, there is a guy in the mid west that is making him self look like a lizard! Medical science can wipe the acne off your face, give you twenty-twenty vision in twenty minuets, and grant instant confidence to the insecure through a vast variety of surgical procedures. This has caught the eye of various state legislatures, and they want in on the action...

...First, we learned about pollution and plastic. Only half of the plastic is deposited in landfills, even less is recycled, and some plastic is in unknown places around the world like the oceans. Even worse, marine animals like turtles mistake the plastic for natural prey, eat it, and die. Some good ways to help reduce plastic in the oceans that could be victim for marine animals to eat by mistake, you could limit the amount of plastic bought by using reusable bags, and pick up trash and plastic that is on the floor or could be in the midst of being swept away by the wind and into the ocean. We also learned about fish, and two fish we learned about are the topsmelt and the halfmoon fish.The halfmoon fish has a tail shaped like a half moon, and lives in the kelp forest, while the topsmelt is a small fish that is colorful and also lives in the kelp forest. One last thing we learned was about Catalina Island, the history of the island, and some animals that live there. Cabrillo landed on Catalina first and named it San Salvador, and next, Vizcaino was the one who named it what we know and call it today - Catalina. Catalina ground squirrels and deer mice are endemic animals, which means they are only found in one place, and for them, that place is Catalina. Our Catalina Trip really taught us a lot of new things, some making us a little depressed (the plastic effecting in pollution), and some was a little food for...

...had clearly served its purpose and was no longer needed. The male front desk attendant of the commuter lounge did eventually go grab the water bottle that was left on the table and tossed it into the plastics bin once it was clear that the woman would not be returning. A man enters and sits down at the table next to me and he pulls out Tupperware with pasta in it, he proceeded to heat it up in the microwave then returned to his seat to eat it. This man reaches into his book bag and pulls out a metal fork from home to eat his lunch with. The differences between the artifacts being used and those destined for secondary refuse appears to depend on quality of the materials the objects are made out of. The water bottles that were disposed of were a much thinner cheaper plastic than the refillable bottles several students had. I found it interesting to see the students take their empty refillable water bottles out to the refill station and were able to refill their bottles for free, as well as reduce the amount of refuse accumulated. It made me wonder why the thinner plastic bottles are not also saved and refilled. Was it because the refillable bottles cost more money? Possibly the refillable plastic bottles are more durable than the thin plastic bottles. I also noticed that plastic forks were thrown away after use, but then a young man brought in a Tupperware container filled with pasta and went and...

...many peoples are using the plastics things. For example plastics bags , plastics bottle .. But there are many affects of to using plastics. One of this; plastics are polluting the ocean and second one is ruining the ocean lives and affecting the sea animals First of all before Malaysia Flight 370 went missing, sea trash was not a global headliner. But after than sea trashes are really big problem in our world. This is because humans have realized the dangerous. After the crash, Australian cost as possible aircraft debris turn out to be discarded fishing equipment, cargo container parts or plastic shopping bags, a new narrative is emerging in the hunt for the missing plane. And scientist says: unfortunatelly, there is more garbage out there than you think. For example: we are using the plastic bags, bottles, bottle caps, kitchen utensils, all of this things contains plastics. And then some garbage firms or humans are throwing these plastic garbages in the nature or seas. But plastics are not disappear in the nature really quickly. This is a process. Moreover for this process needs over hundreds of year. That’s why we should the clean our sea and ocean. Maybe you have to do another things. Homework, study, something like that. But we are living this world. And we must protect this world Secondly marine lives are affecting the plastics and garbage in the ocean. Especially sea turtles and California gray whales are consumers of plastics. But the plastics includes the toxic materials...

...The companies that are dumping trash and chemical waste into the oceans are doing so with little regards for the environment or the health of anything impacted by their actions. It seems that ocean dumping will only benefit the one doing the dumping while hurting the masses. The impact of ocean dumping is going to have long-lasting effects on the overall health of the planet, and everything living on it. At the rate we are going it is only going to be a matter of time before the oceans become a huge floating sunbaked piece of plastic. The garbage patches will eventually make their way to the cost lines of the most desirable vacation destination. The fish will continue to eat the micro plastic meals that we have made for them and may one-day morph into mutant fish with three eyes that will be served on the dinner tables of the consumers. The effects of dumping garbage and the mixture of toxic waste are still unknown. The benefit is minimal and the adverse effects are unlimited. The process has put everyone and everything on the planet at risk of a potently irreversible toxic future. With the expectation of the Vessels-to -reef program, any form of ocean dumping should no longer be...

...“Plastic Bags” 1 Romonia Ceaser December 16, 2014 Grantham University “Plastic Bags” 2 From slide the three most important thing I learned was nearly 200 different species of sea life including; whales, dolphins, seals and turtle die due to plastic bags, they die after ingesting plastic bag which they mistake for food, second bag find their way into the sea via drains and sewage pipes, third the effect on wildlife can be catastrophic, birds become terminally entangled (To complication). My recommendation concerning plastic bags to public. As I address the public-at-large my recommendation regarding this matter will be, the next time a clerk at my (our) grocery store ask whether I (we) prefer paper or plastic for my truly eco-friendly response and saying “neither”. I believe plastic bags end up as liter that fouls the landscape, and kill thousands of marine mammals every year that mistake floating bags for food...
