In the story from Jeanette Armstrong, it explains how the government or the system is not fair. Our word for people is difficult to say without the connection to their land. The kind of economy we have right now, having land is impossible these days because the land isn't useful if there are not educated intelligence. As far as the other tribes, they have many things that are still valuable to their people like culture and tradition. Especially their language, because some tribes have lost their language, and I feel like other tribes are working hard to keep their language alive and not to lose it.

The second story from Perry G. Horse Gives an explanation how the Kiowa is losing their traditional ways. At the beginning of the story it explains how elders are seeing how the tribe may be losing their culture. The children hardly speak the language or don´t speak it at all. Many of the people there are marrying into non native families and I think that is how they are losing their culture, because they are so used to being in non-native society. Another thing is our schooling system, where it is strictly english. I think kids are so used to speaking english and when they come home they hardly speak their native language.

In the article Waste Transfer and Dumping, is basically about raising awareness on where to dump, what to dump, and what not to dump. It also talks about dumping that needs to be controlled, because if it is not controlled that it could cause the environmental hazards. Also there are increasing pressures on landfill, some people are dumping illegally, such as oceans or other places that you are not supposed to be dumping at. Then it talks about electronics being recycled, but being transported to china so they can sort out those kinds of things and reuse them. Lastly it talks about the US producing a big amount of waste every year, over the years in the United States, it has basically become socially and economically unacceptable to dump in many different countries.

In the article America's Crisis talks about in America that there is an increasing amount of waste. Like household garbage, and that a lot of people are throwing away a lot of trash the landfills are losing space. But the environmental movement continues to focus on garbage and recycling, household garbage is its most important issue people face, and that recycling is the only solution. It also talks about the new standards and with those standards America's waste management has been safer than before. In America garbage is not really a management issue, however is it as a moral crisis. In the article it says that recycling costs a lot of money, money that can't be spent on schools, clinics, libraries, and other important things. In the real world the sort of recycling things and programs take on may not be the best use because the government can't really afford the funds.

In the article ¨The History of recycling in America Is More Complicated Than You Think¨ is about recycling in history in the 1970s. The 1970s was when the US started recycling and that decade was the first Earth Day and the creation of the environment Protection Agency. but back in the day recycling was easier and worked better than it did today. In the 19th century when Peddlers traveled the country, they purchased recyclable materials from the different households they visited. Black Square used to make paper and leftover beef bones could be used as fertilizer. In 1919 a survey came out in Chicago and estimated there were more than 1,800 individual scrap material dealers.

The article is about the 1800s, that there were no blue recycling bins, no sorting, and no recycling. People were better at recycling long ago. People recycled far more than we do now, back then people would recycle rags and use it to turn it into paper. Garbage in the late 19th century, many people separated the trash from garbage. But in 1905 workers began to recycle belts, but in the 1920s the sorting stopped happening. During World War two landfilling was the most popular form of disposal. In 1960 over 6 percent of municipal solid waste was recycled, since this happened the recycling rates have gone up to about 10 percent and over the decades the recycling rates have excelled.
