Possible Issues Page created by Nick Possible issue #1 Where will the trash go? Some Ideas for BASGO are to send their trash to a regional landfill where the trash would be managed. The trash will also be downsized (recycled). There are many ways we can construct these ideas. An easy way to start off is simply stop throwing so much out. A way we can throw less out is reuse. What the people have to do to make their town cleaner is recycle more. Recycling is reuse, renew, and recycle. What the people of BASGO have to ask themselves is this. Do we have enough recycling bins, enough trucks, to much household items you don’t use? If the town of Basgo doesn't have enough ways of recycling here are some ideas for reusing.

Save take-out containers - use them for left overs Metal Cans have many uses you can make them into such as Find a new uses for bottles, reuse them to store other items such as food and jewelry. Donate old magazines or extra equipment to charity or libraries Reusing boxes - decorate with old pictures, magazine and newspaper items Turn empty jars into containers for leftover food, for odd screws, nuts & bolts Take part in a paint collection and reuse program. These are some unique ideas for reusing to cut down on size of land fills.

Possible issue #2 Pollution? Pollution will occur because of runoff, infiltration and pollution in the air from fumes. The infiltration will happen because the trash will seep into the ground and get in aquifers polluting the water. The fumes will come from decaying food and junk evaporating into the air. If the fumes gather in the air and the water gets polluted the people will become intoxicated. Also the runoff will happen when liquid typed trash gets caught in water streams and flows into water streams and pollutes it. However it is up to the BASGOIANS to make it safer if one is needed. **See Solutions page for more.**

Possible issue #3 If we construct a Landfill where will it go? Definitely not by a water source it would probably go in an unpopulated area of the town. The reason for this is runoff, pollution and un- attractiveness. When the land fill gets bigger and bigger trash begins to slide of and if there was a water source it would flow into it polluting the water. We came up with a safe way to go about construct a land fill, don’t. The community would be able to have a town dump. From there we would send the trash to a regional land fill where it would no longer be able to pollute the air and water in our community. The people of BASGO should not want a landfill because it is only an un-attractive bulge of pollution and trash. It will be up to BASGO to make this decision. **See more on solutions page**.

Possible issue #4 What is plan B? We could use a municipal incinerator. The smoke of the incinerated garbage could harm the environment of Basgo through air pollution and could send potential citizens away because of the putrid smoke and ugly smoke stacks. However we may be able to create a cleaner incinerator. A way we could do this is make sure the smoke that comes out is clean a as possible. The incinerator the town could have now is bad for tourism and could affect BASGO’s economy if they do not get tourism due to gross looking smoke. Also if there was a giant land fill it would be un-attractive as well. **See Solutions page.**

Possible issue #5 Litter. What happens with landfills is this. If it is built too close to water it runs off into the river/ocean causing water pollution. Basic litter problems is a common thing called trash. If we created policies for reusing, downsizing trash and creating park carry in carry out policies there would be much less litter. If we reused a third of everything we bought we would throw out less, buy less, and leave are our community cleaner and have less smog and pollution. A way we could downsize trash is simple, preserve. When I say preserve I mean give old toys to goodwill, old clothes and games to the Salvation army. Also we could use the food for experiments like new oil for cars that pollutes less. The carry in carry out policy is easy. The people of BASGO have to adjust to some new rules such as the carry in carry out policy or else their community will be dirtied. **See solutions page**.

Possible issue #6 House Hold Trash: Where do you put all of your household trash? What uses can it serve? Can it help the environment or can it harm it? What is household trash? Trash is unused junk that gathers up and pollutes the earth. What should we do with trash? BAGSO should have all the people take out there trash and leave it for the garbage people to carry off into a trash system. This technique would make it easier for the people and they would be more motivated to take out the trash. Also the trash should be checked for things that can be recycled. If there are things that can be recycled they should leave the trash there until the people start recycling more. The uses your trash can serve as attempts for making oil for cars, new things, clothes and more. Cans and boxes can be made into fleeces old junk can be created into cool toys. If we recycle we will help the environment. The reasons are easy less trash less pollution. Less trash more space and cleanliness. **See solutions page.**
