Question: Is the aerosol cans from hairspray and other things considered air pollution?
You know how when you use the aerosol cans it damages the ozone layer? Well, can that be considered air pollution?

Well, technically yes. It damages the environment. And it also has an indirect effect on us (and our health). Sunlight hitting you through a hole in the ozone will have some nasty consequences…

I recently moved to Texas from Oregon, and although I like Texas a lot i am completely appalled and disgusted by the amount of garbage that is spread all over ( and I mean everywhere!) the beach. Everybody here just seems to throw their garbage all over the beach. There isnt a clean area of beach to stretch out and relax on. I have seen dirty diapers, styrafoam cups, milkjugs, tall white buckets, wrappers, alcohol containers, fishing lures, plastic wrap from cigarette packs and things like that. It’s disgusting and everywhere. I am used to going to the beach and seeing very little garbage. It looks clean and it’s beautiful when you visit. Oregons beaches were very well taken care of and rarely did I see garbage. How can I bring this to attention and who do I need to start with at trying to make people realize what they are doing by littering. I’d like to really get some support and hopefully someone in charge of changing things like this in the State to start making changes!
I live by surfside beach and it’s about 4 miles of beach. I just want people to be aware of the garbage problem. There are gabage cans all along the grass before you actually get to the sand close enough for ppl to use but they don’t. they just throw the garbage whereever they are. I want to clean it up and make it beautiful and peaceful. I would like to know information on who to cantact, webite links maybe to the effects of garbage and beach wildlife and just the negative effects for the environment and wildlife, and anything to help make my case stronger and more effective in getting the desired results. Please help and the more info you can give me the better. I am not an environmentalist but I do think we need to take care of what God has given us. Any help is appriciated. Thank You!

I’m only 13 but I’m really into saving the environment. What should I do. I’m also an animal activist. I recycle all my paper and plastic, glass, cans, etc. I’m thinking about becoming vegetarian. Suggestions and opinions? Thanks =]

The environment is very important to me. I make sure to shut off all of the lights when I’m not in the room and I’m persuading my Mom to buy the better light bulbs for the environment. I also recycle everything (bottles, cans, cardboard, paper, etc) What else can i do?

I need help…i go to bishop amat high and we re trying a recycling program….but the thing is we don’t know any special recyling places that may or may not pick up our cans, bottles, and paper…please i need your help!!!!!

My community doesn’t have curbside recycling and the recyling centers are far away. There are a few paper recycling bins around, but is there anyway I can find out if there are other bins around? Bins that take cans and bottles and such?

i have about 6 or 7 30 gallon trash bags full of cans.Would that be worth the time to actually take them to the recyling center or do i need a lot more than that?

i want to start a recyling company, i live in a third world country and i have no clue where to start, i want it to be just like what they do in america(sorting the trash into glass, cans etc) and i need knowlege on the first steps to starting it. thanks in advance.

I planned on starting to recycle every day items (cans, paper, bottles, etc) around my house instead of being wasteful and throwing them away. This was just so I could feel like I was helping the environment out a little bit. However, I wanted to know just how useful one person’s monthly recyclables are to helping the environment. Like 2 full garbage bags worth per month.
