Consumption Waste

The article discusses the issue of an effective management system in the field of production and consumption waste in the Tyumen region. The priorities of the state policy in the field of waste management are reflected. The ways of optimization of logistics and development of infrastructure in this area are described. The options for achieving an integrated strategy are considered. Methods of preventing the harmful effects of production and consumption waste on human health and the environment, as well as options for minimizing the amount of generated waste and using waste as a source of raw materials are outlined. The implementation and effectiveness of the measures taken is under the control of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing for the Tyumen region. Events in the Tyumen region are implemented in close interdepartmental cooperation with executive authorities and local government bodies. The Tyumen model of the municipal waste management system is recognized as one of the most successful in the Russian Federation.

Harmful Effects

Sport and fitness have long been linked with healthy lifestyles, yet most sporting events and consumption practices are highly detrimental to the environment. While academics have examined the harmful effects of sporting mega-events and the production and consumption of sport equipment and clothing, there has been less engagement with the “mundane,” everyday activities of consuming, laundering, and recycling of fitness objects. In this paper, we explore the potential in feminist new materialisms for rethinking the complex relationships between sport, fitness, and the environment. In particular, we explain how our engagement with Karen Barad's theory of agential realism led us to rethink women's habitual fitness practices as connected to environmental degradation. Working with Barad's concept of entanglement, we came to notice new human-clothing-environment relationships, focusing on how athleisure clothing itself is an active, vital force that intra-acts with other non-human (and human) matter within the environment. Adopting a diffractive methodology that included reading interviews with women about their activewear practices, our own experiences, new materialist theory, and environmental literature through each other, we focus on two examples that emerged through this process: laundering and disposal practices. Through these examples, we demonstrate the ways in which new materialisms encouraged us to move toward non-anthropocentric understandings of the sport-environment relationship and toward new ethical practices in our everyday fitness lifestyles.

Quality Status

With the economic development, with the increase of production and consumption, large quantities of waste result annually, which, improperly stored can affect the quality status of the environmental factors. At the same time, improper management of these wastes can lead to serious cases of contamination of water, soil and air and may also threaten the health of the population. Eco-friendly landfills are a safe way to dispose of waste today. In order to limit the harmful effects on the environment, they must be designed and executed in such a way as to meet the current technical, environmental and economic impact requirements. Due to the composition of household waste (paper, plastic, glass, vegetable waste, other flammable substances) the risk of fire occurring and developing inside the warehouse is high. This fire can be based on several origins: anthropogenic, microbial, natural. Thus, the temperature released may damage the component layers of the landfill. Inside the warehouse gases, CO2, CH 4 , as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are born due to the activity of microorganisms.

On visions and promises — ethical aspects of in vitro meat

Production Conditions

Innovators of in vitro meat (IVM) are convinced that this approach is the solution for problems related to current meat production and consumption, especially regarding animal welfare and environmental issues. However, the production conditions have yet to be fully clarified and there is still a lack of ethical discourses and critical debates on IVM. In consequence, discussion about the ethical justifiability and desirability of IVM remains hypothetical and we have to question those promises. This paper addresses the complex ethical aspects associated with IVM and the questions of whether, and under what conditions, the production of IVM represents an ethically justifiable solution for existing problems, especially in view of animal welfare, the environment, and society. There are particular hopes regarding the benefits that IVM could bring to animal welfare and the environment, but there are also strong doubts about their ethical benefits.
