That issue has been batted The other problem is that while recycling is back and forth with mixed results, although most a wonderful thing to do if we're comparing it to experts now agree that cities have become throwing stuff away, it has become a reward for more experienced and more effective — and consumption.therefore made it more cost-efficient — to recycle most products rather than dump them in landfills.

RECYCLING BINS ARE

EVERY CORNER IN BEYKENT

ecycling bins have been put in every Rcorner in Beykent in order to rise the

consciousness of the students about

environmental issues and recycling. Students

have been using different recycling bins for

different waste materials like plastic, paper

and glass. Our slogan is that: Waste materials

are not rubbish!

RECYCLING HELPS,

BUT

IT'S NOT ALL YOU CAN DO FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

reative artists always find the best way to exceed the limits and surprise the people. Here are

And animals who breathed clean air. Specifically, as you might expect, these physical changes in neurons (nerve cells) known as dendrites were

clearly changed. Normally, dendrites have small projections growing off them, dubbed spines, which transmit signals from one neuron to another. But in the mice exposed to polluted air, there were shorter dendrites, fewer dendrite spikes and, overall, a reduction in the complexity of brain cells. And earlier research has shown that these types of changes are linked to decreased learning and memory abilities.

The research team found evidence that low-g rade inflammation was evident in the hippocampus in the pollution exposed mice. That could have caused the brain changes. Inflammation-causing chemical messengers in the immune system known as cytokines were found to be more active in the hippocampus in the animals who breathed the polluted air.

Although the new study involved mice and n ot humans, the scientists think the findings have profound implications for people exposed regularly to air pollution.This could have important and troubling implications for people who live and work in polluted urban areas around the world.
