I consume about 4 nail polishes a year. I don't really need to consume that much of nail polish because they're kind of expensive and there's really no point and I feel like the more we consume the more damage it does to the world. I focused on the population of females from all over the U.S. According to the U.S census Bureau there are approximately 156,946,212 females in the U.S. I calculated the total disposal of female population in the U.S by doing the following calculation 156,964,212*4=627,784,848.If each year females from all over the U.S consume the same amount of nail polishes as me they would dispose about 627,784,848 nail polish containers a year. Since I'm just one person I only dispose 4 containers per year. The surface area for my nail polish container is
The shapes that I chose were sphere for the container of the nail polish. For the top I chose a cylinder and the base of the container is a circle. The height of the cylinder is 4cm and the circles on the top and the bottom are 1.5 cm wide. The surface area for the cylinder is 22.37cm^2. The sphere is broken up into four different sides: left, right, back, and front. They're 3.5 cm long and 0.5 cm wide. The surface area for the sphere is 12.56 cm^2.
Quantity of Product: 4
Surface Area: 12.56
Result 1: 50.24
Population Chosen:156,946,212
I just multiplied the quantity of my product by the surface area and I got my first answer. Then I multiplied the result that I got by the population that I chose and i get my second result.
4*12.56=50.24*156,964,212=7,885,882,011=.7885=.15
After I convert to square kilometers my number was .7885 (yearly disposal) which is too small to graph it, and if I divide it by 5 my result will be .15 which is also too small to graph on my Chicago map. I was actually shocked that it was such a small amount being tossed out. I think it's such a small amount because people probably reuse the containers for something useful.
