4. Household waste Industrial waste Public waste Medical waste Nuclear waste Public waste Trash can be organized into different categories. In what refers to its chemical composition we have: - Organic residues and inorganic residues In what referes to his source we have the examples above.

6. Household Waste In this category are included leftovers, plastic, metal, glass, paper (packaging, cans, bottles, newspaper, magazines) etc. When improperly accumulated, organic waste can become highly polluters of soil, water and air. Besides that, the inadequate arrangement of waste creates an environment propitious to the development of pathogenic organisms.

11. Medical waste Is the classification given to dangerous residues produced in hospitals, like syringes, aprons, etc. By containing harmful agents this kind of garbage is separated from the rest of the residues produced in hospitals (leftovers, etc), and it is generally incinerated. However, certain hospital supplies, like aprons that were into contact with electromagnetic rays of high energy like X rays, are classified in a different way (the apron is considered nuclear waste) and have a different treatment.

12. One fish asks to another: What is that, acupunture? And the other answers: No, is medical waste thrown in the river

14. One of the consequences of throwing nuclear waste in the ocean is the increase of temperature. It disrupts the equilibrium of temperature in which live thousands of marine species.

16. Most of it remains in the open air, the remaining goes to landfills and incinerators. There is finally some remaining used for recycling.

26. This isn’t reusing, much less reducing !

29. Recycling does not hurt. It helps the environment !

37. The graphics on the left represent the estimated values of the group’s Ecological Footprint and the resources need to sustain our lifestyle compared to the average Portuguese citizen.

44. Conclusion After knowing where the things we throw away go, and what processes they suffer, it is possible to affirm that the elimination and treatment of our garbage is one of the most contributing factors for the pollution of the atmosphere, and sometimes (several times),water and soil pollution, when inadequately thrown away. Also after knowing a little bit more about the garbage workers, we think we need to be more respectful to them, once that they rend a dirty function, which the only goal is to serve society, cleaning her garbage and keeping it away from our door. Daily dealing with dirtiness and bad smells.
