The Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act, first published in1994, was designed to integrate product responsibility into economic decision-making, with the aim of building a life cycle economy that avoids the generation of waste. The Act states that whoever produces, markets and consumes goods is responsible for the avoidance, recycling, reuse, and environmentally-sound disposal of waste. As a result, it establishes a hierarchy of avoidance, recovery, and disposal that emphasizes waste avoidance, promotes low-waste products, and provides incentives for waste recovery practices. Properly sorting and recycling waste in turn: Saves energy Reduces air pollution Decreases greenhouse gas emissions Saves money Your participation is vital for the success of all recycling efforts! Making small changes in your daily life style will reduce waste! REDUCE the amount of trash discarded, e.g., choose products with less packaging. Choose loose fruit, cheese, and meat. Buy products in glass jars and tins which can be recycled.

  • Women Bobsleighing
    Bobsleigh About the Tutorial Bobsleigh is a winter game which involves two or four players sleighing in a specially designed track. It has been included in winter Olympics since the first winter games held in 1924. It is also termed as the most expensive winter Olympic game because of its equipment costs and the technical complexity involved in building them. This tutorial will let you know about the basics of this Bobsleigh. Audience People who are looking for sports that involve speed, power, balance, and a hundred percent focus, can opt for Bobsleigh. This tutorial is meant for those who don’t have enough knowledge in Bobsleigh but still are passionate enough to learn it. This tutorial will help people learn the basic rules and strategies involved in Bobsleigh. Prerequisites Before starting Bobsleighing, a player needs to take care of certain factors. It requires a perfect balance of speed, power and weight is required. A player has to focus completely throughout the game, as the sleighs move at very high speed. The players need to be prepared for the low temperature environment of the race track. The players need enough muscle and leg power in order to provide a powerful boost to the sleigh with full speed. They again need to stay lean, as the weight on the sleigh affects the speed and reduces the wind resistance. Copyright & Disclaimer Copyright 2016 by Tutorials Point (I) Pvt. Ltd.
