Waste Land Assignment

1. Describe your impression of the program.

The program of recycling wastes is important not only for the people in Brazil but also
for every other community. Recycling converts the wastes into useful objects. The people benefit
as the wastes are taken out of their lands. More so, such a program helps to prevent people from
wasting materials that can be of more use. For instance, when plastics from the wastes are
collected and turned into water storage containers, raw materials that make plastics are used for
other useful purposes. The program helps reduce water and air pollution enabling people to live
in a clean environment.

2. What did you like or did not like – your opinion. What did you learn about waste/recycling?

I liked the fact that some people finally learned that they can find some use of the wastes
around and make the land tidy. Those people lived in the wastes for some time and for long no
one had an idea that something could be done about it. I learned that any person has the ability to
take initiative to do something different like the way those people did to help the community. I
also learnt that apart from the community gaining, the individual also gains in different ways.
For instance those people turned the wastes into money which would benefit them.

3. Which character made a deep impression on you and why.

Surname 2
The character who impressed me more was the one who came up with the idea of turning
the waste into something useful. From my opinion, the person has the ability to make the
community innovative. From his initiative of creating a picture and selling it to Paris for a lot of
cash, more characters will find different ways of utilizing the wastes to benefit themselves.
