Read the text and study the graph.As director of Carter County’s recycling program, I recommend a multitiered approach to improving our current recycling program. Necessary improvements can be made over a period of time to spread out costs, as follows:Step 1. Let’s modernize our existing infastructure for recycling the products that residents are most familiar with and are most likely to be recycling already—items such as batteries, steel, paper, yard trimmings, and aluminum cans.Step 2. I propose launching a marketing effort to explain the importance of recyling items for which there is less awareness, such as car tires and consumer electronics.Step 3. We can then develop infastructure to promote and facilitiate recycling the materials we most often lose to the landfill, such as glass and plastic. The technology for recycling PET and HDPE plastics has come a long way since we opened our current facilities, so it is imperative that the city makes new investments in our existing infastructure.What is the purpose of the graph in this document?

After being completed in the spring of 2019, this state-of-the-art water-recycling facility will begin supplementing the city’s current water supply (the Occoquan Reservoir) with runoff collected from Fairfax homes and businesses.

A good candymaker perfects products over time through a process of trial and error, carefully documenting steps and ingredients for later reference. Fortunately, the centuries-long history of candy-making has resulted in the discovery of some absolute and irrefutable truths about how sugar and chocolate behave. We know, for instance, that to achieve the most desirable consistency, a syrup should be heated to 230 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature at which it will form a soft thread. On the other hand, a caramel, to form a firm and toothsome ball, must be heated 18 degrees higher. To avoid reinventing the wheel, refer to the following table:

How to Plant a Container for a Rooftop or Balcony GardenNow that you’ve blended your potting soil with one part topsoil, two parts sphagnum moss, and one part phosphorus, its time to prepare the pot. Remember, outdoor plants require plenty of drainage to stay healthy through summer’s rainfalls and humidity.Step 1. Cover the drainage holes with curved pieces of broken dishware or pottery to permit drainage.Step 2. Add a drainage layer. Styrofoam packing material is ideal since it’s lightweight, virtually indestructable, and easy to drain.Step 3. Add a drainage barrier, such as a fiberglass screen, to keep the soil and drainage material from mixing.Step 4. Add your soil, filling the container only three-quarters full and leaving room for the plant’s root ball.Step 5. Add your plant, using loose soil to backfill any additional space around and above the root ball.Step 6. Finally, add a half-inch layer of bark mulch.
