Rules to recycling plastic

Rules to recycling plastic
While there are many different types of plastics, not all of them can be recycled and some of those that can be recycled may not be eligible for curbside pick-up or accepted at your local recycling location. To find out which types of plastic you can recycle in your area, you'll have to contact your local municipal offices or recycling centers. Of the types of plastic that can be recycled, it is critical that they be recycled with their own kind because a small amount of the wrong type of plastic can ruin the melt. Therefore, sorting plastic is a...

Imagine 5 Earths

June 19, 2017 by sinandsacrifice No Comments
According to an article posted on greenchange.org, humanity would need 5 Earths if everyone lived like an American. Humanity would need five Earths to produce the resources needed if everyone lived as profligately as Americans, according to a report issued Tuesday. As it is, humanity each year uses resources equivalent to nearly one-and-a-half Earths to meet its needs, said the report by Global Footprint Network, an international think tank. "We are demanding nature's services - using resources and creating CO2 emissions - at a rate 44 percent faster than what nature can regenerate and reabsorb," the document said. "That means...

CFLs: Make the switch!

Make the switch
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, if every U.S. household replaced just one regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, it would prevent 90 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the equivalent of taking 7.5 million cars off the road. And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says that by replacing regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs at the same minimal rate, Americans would save enough energy to light more than 2.5 million homes for a year. In addition, replacing one regular light bulb with an approved compact fluorescent light bulb would...

Stop unwanted paper junk mail

Stop unwanted paper junk mail
Junk mail. We all get it. We all dislike it. But people who are environmentally conscious, more so, may stop for a moment to feel the pain of Mother Earth when they carry 90% of their mail over to the recycle bin without it ever being opened. For me, I get a flash of scenes in hyper speed where I can see a beautiful forest, the growth of a tree, the loggers ripping it down, paper mills and production, pollution, transportation, corporate marketing departments scheming a design that will trick you into actually opening whatever it is they're sending you,...

Sweet on rBGH?

Sweet on rBGH
If you have not heard of rBGH, it is a genetically engineered variant of the natural growth hormone produced by cows. It was created by the most hated corporation in the world, Monsanto, to increase milk production in cows. This hormone is injected into more than a quarter of cows in U.S. Dairies. rBGH has also been banned in many countries. Milk from cows that have been injected with Monsanto’s genetically engineered rBGH contains 2 to 10 times as much IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) as normal cow’s milk. This is significant, because studies have found the risk of prostate cancer...

Freedom of choice?

Freedom of choice
We all watch commercials. Every single one of them depicts a world that is bountiful, clean, natural, animal and nature friendly - the list goes on. Food commercials will most often feature shots of garden fresh veggies or wholesome, pure ingredients - as if that is all that goes into the product. Cleaning product commercials feature energetic scrubbing bubbles and other fun animated characters. But did you know these products are responsible for mutations in marine creatures? How about those happy cow commercials? I can guarantee there aren't many happy cows in existence unless they a) reside on a small...

Farmhand gets 8 months in jail

Farmhand gets 8 months in jail
We are hearing about torture and abuse endured by farm animals more frequently these days. It seems like farms are a haven for sick and twisted individuals in the same way the priesthood seems to attract pedofiles. Dairy cows endure enough stress and torture just from the 'function' they have to perform in providing milk. They are kept pregnant continually and most often unable to walk or even lay down to rest. Their calves are also taken away from them and tied up in crates, unable to move and denied mother's milk so they can be slaughtered for veal. After...

If you don’t ask, I’ll still tell

If you don’t ask, I’ll still tell
I came across an interesting subject today: rendering plants. For those of you who are not familiar with the term 'rendering' it is defined on Wikipedia as a process that converts waste animal tissue into stable, value added materials. Rendering can refer to any processing of animal byproducts into more useful materials, or more narrowly to the rendering of whole animal fatty tissue into purified fats like lard or tallow. Now that doesn't sound so bad, does it? Read on. As defined on wisegeek.com: A rendering plant is a processing operation where dead animals are recycled into many different products...
