Answer 4

With an essay you need to show facts that help support/prove your thesis

Answer 5

Your thesis I'm assuming is " We don't need landfills "

Answer 6

So what you're are saying here is that we don't need landfills and you are backing this up with the idea of most of our trash being recyclable

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

So what are some of your ideas( What trash is recyclable?)

Answer 9

cuz it would be better to recycle things than just Bary the trash under ground for thousands and millions of years

Answer 10

*bury

Answer 11

and some trash well most trash is recyclable and yes lol

Answer 12

So one thing you could say is that landfills take up lots of space and it can be harmful to the environment

Answer 13

Now I know that things like glass, cans, bottles and paper are being recycled. But there is lots of trash generated and not all of it can be sorted out, cleaned properly and put to use.

Answer 14

Now there are several ideas where trash is burned to create energy. There is also of course recycling objects like cans and bottles. Metals can be reused(magnets, iron, steel, etc)

Answer 15

okay so my topic is "landfills". and one topic is...
landfills take up to much space and it can be harmful to the enviorment.

Answer 16

But you need to research and organize your ideas. Then put them into a well written essay.

Answer 17

So those are 2 phrases that you need to look up.

Landfills taking up to much space

Landfills being harmful to the environment

Answer 18

okay so ummm my first sentence is

Answer 19

oh okay ill do that right now

Answer 20

Remember to cite your sources for the bibliography

Answer 21

what do you mean by that???

Answer 22

A bibliography is a list of the sources you used to get information for your report. It is included at the end of your report, on the last page (or last few pages).

Answer 23

Most essays require one

Answer 24

okay and this has to be 5 paragraphs or more

Answer 25

Ok this means you should have a

Introduction

Body Paragraphs (3 or more)

Conclusion

Answer 26

How much space landfills take up depends on the size of the landfill. Landfills take up less space than they did 25 years ago. New landfills are called megafills because they can accommodate more garbage while taking up less space. According to a 2008 report, there were 1,800 municipal solid waste landfills in the United States. Today's landfills operate by accepting trash all day and then being compacted and covered over with a layer a soil. This minimizes wind disturbances, pests, and odor.

Answer 27

Answer 28

Is that your introduction?

Answer 29

oh

Answer 30

Ok I'm going to leave you to your research and writing :) Good Luck!

Answer 31

If you need any further help, just pm me :)

Answer 32

A landfill is a planned and designed to discard solid waste materials by burying it between the layers of earth, in an effort to decrease human heath hazards which get caused if it is left open or without treatment. In the landfill, there are some preventive measures followed before settling the solid material underground. If not buried properly and with lack of proper management, it can be dangerous. The compressed solid waste placed underground creates methane gas and other dangerous gases. Methane gas is flammable. But if comes out in open air and gets mixed with atmosphere, it can create lots of problem for living being including humans. That’s why pipes are placed underground to absorb these gases before it comes out into open. Even some landfills have water containers built underground to prevent contaminated water from mixing with groundwater or seep through ground into pure groundwater. But many landfills around the world are not built properly and managed. Most of the landfills are just dug and all solid wastes are dumped into it, which have added to both water as well as air pollution.
Landfill Problems:

The older landfills that were built and forgotten are now creating many problems. The dumped wastes inside the ground are prone to make Leachate, which is very harmful to human as well as for ground water. Leachate is a very toxic liquid, which is formed when water gets in contact with the solid waste. The rainwater seeps through the ground and comes in contact with wastes, collecting all inorganic and organic materials it penetrates through the ground. If any groundwater stream is under that landfill, then Leachate and groundwater gets mixed, thus contaminating the groundwater and making it toxic. The people who live close by landfills are prone to get ill with common symptoms of allergies, dizziness, skin problems, vomiting as well as dangerous illness like cancer. Children are more susceptible to illness and diseases than adult is and even sometimes causes premature dead of child.

Answer 41

Well do you remember what your thesis is?

Answer 42

cuz i got all the info that i need i just dont no how to start it and yes its "We dont need landfills"

Answer 43

So when starting an essay you need to write your Intoduction(1st paragraph). In your introduction you should state or restate your thesis and talk about it a little. But save the facts and explaining for the body paragraphs

Answer 44

This doesnt mean that you can't put in facts into your Introduction

Answer 45

No matter what type of essay you write, you always want to make it interesting(in the 1st paragraph at the least). This is called the hook. You need to hook the reader so they will want to read your essay and when providing facts you make the Introduction more interesting

Answer 46

so my first sentence is we don't need landfills bacouse they take up to much space and it is bad for the earth becouse all of it is geting buryed under ground and next thing we no it it will be all trash and no durt

Answer 47

u still here?

Answer 48

Example:

My thesis: Global Warming is a growing problem, something has to be done.

The world we know is getting worse and worse. With every day our planet aches in pain. This is caused by global warming. It has been a growing problem recently as the carbon dioxide that has been produced by fossil fuels are rising up in the air and being trapped by our atmosphere. Because this heat can't escape it is melting our polar ice caps. This has caused the ocean sea levels to start rising and small elevated islands are already being flooded. Something has to be done about this.

Answer 49

This is just a decently sized Introduction that I typed out. It isnt the best one but I wanted to provide a nice example.

Answer 50

See how I restated my thesis in the introduction?

Answer 51

It's a bit funny to me as I read through my own introduction and I'm already seeing ways to improve

Answer 52

okay so like

the world is geting worse and worse every day. No one wants to do nothing about it but what if some one did and then we can clean up the earth and it canbe a much better place to live in. The trash under the ground id making it harder for us to breath.

Answer 53

This just shows that you should always look through your paragraphs after you're done writing them. See if you had grammar mistakes or ways to improve how you explained things

Answer 54

Remember to capitalize your first letter

Answer 55

The world is getting worse and worse every day.No one wants to do nothing about it but what if some one did and then we can clean up the earth and it can be a much better place to live in. The trash under the ground is making it harder for us to breath.

Answer 56

Also the phrase " no one wants to do nothing " doesnt make sense. I believe you should replace nothing with anything.

Answer 57

like that

Answer 58

Also you should put a period after someone did. <------------

And someone is one word not two

Answer 59

Remove the and after did.

Answer 60

The world is getting worse and worse every day.No one wants to do anything about it. What if some one did then we can clean up the earth and it can be a much better place to live in. The trash under the ground is making it harder for us to breath.

@bbcream14

Answer 69

@bbcream14 over here

Answer 70

okay sorry

Answer 71

what you have so far

Answer 72

Yeah, post what you have written so far

Answer 73

the world today is getting worse becouse in the landfills all they do is bary the trash. Barying the trash is making the earth die off slowly. Also when people bary the trash it pollutes the earth. The world would be better if we all reuse trash, if i had the power i would get red of landfill and make people recycle. If people did that then the would would have fresh air and clean cites

Answer 74

ok one thing is the word Barying what are you trying say burning

Answer 75

what you have so far

Answer 76

how many is that so far

Answer 77

Capitalize the in the beginning of the 1st paragraph and you misspelled " Bary " it is spelled = bury

Answer 78

yes

Answer 79

is it burn

Answer 80

it sounds good to me

Answer 81

ok

Answer 82

okay

Answer 83

well i have to go hope it turn out good let me know how it turn out

Answer 84

Also the majority of trash isnt " burried ." It is burned or if possible, recycled

Answer 85

okay:)(:

Answer 86

But when you burn trash. you are producing carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming and this affects the environment.

Answer 87

Red is a color.

In the sentence: The world would be better if we all reuse trash, if i had the power i would get red of landfill and make people recycle.

You said red instead of rid. Rid is the correct word usage. Also you need to capitalize I when writing

Answer 88

bbcream14 do you have a mom, dad or sister who can personally look this over with you?

Answer 89

Because you have the right idea here but its generally just a lot of grammar mistakes and small ways to improve here and there.
