1. Our example is a green recycling bin located on the street in the middle of Downtown Athens. This bin has directions on it indicating it as a proper place to put discarded plastic, paper, cardboard, and other recyclable components.
2. Public health is about protecting and improving the health of the community. This recycling bin serves as a place for people to properly dispose of trash items. This act results in less littering and cleaner streets; increasing the health of residents and passerby of the city. As people utilize this recycling bin they help the environment and the community to be healthier. Also, once the recycling bin's contents are collected, what was once trash becomes reusable products enabling our society to reach greater sustainability.
3. This recycling bin has such a profound impact on the Athens community. It serves as a method of keeping the city cleaner. It reminds you to think more about recycling and to do your part in this health initiative. As well as the fact that the city of Athens is proactive rather than reactive when it comes to the issue of recycling.
4. This issue is important because we all have only 1 world and pollution is a global health problem. However, recycling bins and awareness efforts about recycling provide us all with a solution to help curb this problem. Recycling helps us maximize the use of one-time-use products in a world of scarce resources.
