RyanJ Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Another way to save nature - recycle! In my area they have started a recycle programs where we put special types of rubbish (e.g. plastic, glass, cans etc.) into seperate bags which are then collected and recycled. Anyone else have something like this in their area? Also, why don't they recycle batteries and the like? They must be able to do something with them shurly. Cheers, Ryan Jones
herpguy Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 I live in an area where we recycle aluminum, plastic, paper, glossy paper, and the list goes on like that. Anyway, we can recycle batteries if we take them to the recycling center so see if you can do that.

Yea, the list of stuff we can recycle here gets bigger every week but right now things like batteries ned to be taken to a specialist, things like TV's, monitors and the like are also recyclable now too at the store. They even ask for the hedge clippings and cut grass so they can make fertiliser out of it... Thats just nuts but effective. Also, all the litter picked up (Or as much as possible) is now sorted and recycled too... They say the hardest types of things to recycle are actually plastics because two pieces of plastic look the same but are totally different, this causes a lot of problems when you try to recycle thhem together. I think they are working on some sort of bacteria that breaks the plastics back down to parts that cna all be recycled at the same time, this will be interesting to see! Cheers, Ryan Jones
ecoli Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Don't forget, reusing something saves more energy then recylcing!
herpguy Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 recycling saves more energy than making something in a factory without recycling :-O
RyanJ Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 recycling saves more energy than making something in a factory without recycling :-O Indeed because it normally takes more energy to extract the rimary product (e.g. oil in the case of plastic) than it does to melt the plastic and reshape it.

RyanJ Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 4520 sq feet. W00t! I signed up for that too, I wonder if they really do save that area of the Amazon because you signed up... if they did get everyone here to sign up and that would save a lot of rain forest Cheers, Ryan Jones
