The same thing with our super-modern companies and school: although they have found sophisticated ways to conceal their garbage from people's eyes, the garbage still exists and is contaminating to the atmosphere. As is known, despite their tremendous care taken to avoid lethal gas emission, the landfill may still produce emission of methane gas that is produced by the decaying waste material and modern garbage, concealed thoguh it is by our institutions, produces the same results.
Recycling is still our only option. It has a superior effect on reducing lethal emissions since it reduces the amount of energy used by the industry most of which produces fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel and coals that transform themselves into carbon dioxide, methane, and other toxic greenhouse effects. In this way, recycling acts as preventative rather than as implementation after matter (Morris, 1996). Incinerators and landfills used in recycling projects also produce reduced emissions s do slowing the harvest of trees. In 2005, for instance, recycling reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 2.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (Pennsylvania. Department of environmental protection. Recycling saves our environment).
In the final months of 2002, San Luis Obispo County compared greenhouse gas emission for recycling in 2002 as compared to greenhouse gas emissions from landfills in that same year. They showed that "producing products such as newsprint, cardboard, glass containers, aluminum can sheet and plastic pellets with virgin material emits 6,5777 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent" (San Luis Obispo County, 2004, p.16) whilst making these same products from recycled material only produced 1,685 pounds of carbon dioxide and CD equivalents. In other words, using recycled material reduces greenhouse gas emissions to 26%.

Junkspace is the portrayal of a cacophonous, chaotic mess of nonsense shapes and haphazard urban design squeezed in and loaded onto each other, formless, and ill- or utterly undefined with different cultures and periods of history throttling one another and almost squeezing the other out of existence. Junkspace is the reverse of Jacob's picture of design and order. Here, there is no deliberate plan rather we have the post modernistic vision of urban society per excellence where cacophony and noise rules together with the different media bulletins and incidental urban garbage that has come to fill in the space, cracks, crannies, crevices, and all the nooks it can find in tight or wide areas.
We live in 'junkspace' -- a literal junkspace of odds and ends of all sorts of garabage and we are immune to its presnce. It is time to wake up and take notice.

The reason for this shortfall, as noted by the Balance Budget website, emanates from pension costs, previously agreed to cost of living pay increases, rising health care costs overall and a general weakness in the overall economic recovery that has ensued, albeit very slowly, since the end of the so-called "Great Recession" period that ended in approximately 2009 for the nation as a whole. The balance budget website notes that
" Moreover, population groups "…pull up roots and seemingly go out of their way to avoid one another…" throughout Southern California, Worster writes (242). An example of the concept of "pulling up roots" is the community of Watts, which in the 1960s, Worster continues, was "an almost entirely black populace" but by the mid-1990s is "predominately Mexican-American" (p. 243). And Little Tokyo, positioned just south of Los Angeles' City Hall, is

This began with the colonizers who positioned their missions in the places that the native congregated which was also about a day's travel. The way that the railroad system developed in the region also played a part with Los Angeles developing a unique suburban model with a train system that spanned many rural scenes. Instead of dividing the land up for separate uses, Los Angeles developed a mixed-use model that
This is her suffering. LUIS J. RODRIGUEZ, THE REPUBLIC OF EAST LA (2002) "Unfortunately, Rosalba endured many scary nights staying in dingy hotel rooms with other migrants, mostly women, in downtown Los Angeles. She not only didn't have a man to help but no obvious skills except what she learned on the rancho. She had to survive being cast into a peculiar universe of neon and noise. This was a place
Like Monte in Rodriguez's Pigeons, Lucia recognizes that immigrant Mexican men feel like failures is they cannot take care of their families once they arrive in America. The author uses this described tension related to income and support to show Lucia's need to be independent and depend on no man. In these seven passages, I found it interesting that each character maintained personality while focusing on a similar goal. Each
