Recycle your Stuff
by Trajano Paiva
IT IS ABOUT RECYCLING YOUR STUFF !
IT iS GOOD FOR YOU AND FOR THE PLANET !
Is There A CLEAN BAY DURING A SUNNY DAY ? We can´t see what is there in the water clearly. We hope its clean and healthy ! What about the fish and the plankton?
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PLANET, THE ENVIRONMENT, WHEN WE DO NOT USE BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS AND ALSO WE DO NOT RECYCLE IT ?
BE AWARE of this ... !
If you do not disposal your litter, your disposal from home or the office correctly, it will end up somewhere that you will not like to see it! It will go eventually to the Sea!
Sea animals eat plastic and die or otherwise will intoxicate you and your family when you eat seafood!
PRESERVATION STARTS AT HOME !
The majority of fish species eat what they find at sea when they are hungry !
The oceanic food chain is a fragile biological system that can lead to serious consequences to human health when it is contaminated by pollutants!

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION MATTERS !
This is what nobody wants ! Industrial diversity at the Ocean !
The ocean currents can take this type of materials around the globe!
TO CLEAN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA IS NOT AN EASY TASK !
IT DOES COST A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME !
PLUS THE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS SUFFERS !

5 Recycling Tips

A March 2000 study by the GrassRoots Recycling Network (GRRN) finds that while a record 28% of municipal waste was recycled in 1997, Americans were simultaneously wasting more -- landfilled and incinerated waste increased by 4.4 million tons. Here are some tips on how to help reduce this.
1. Drink Boxes: Only about 25% of U.S. households have curbside recycling for drink boxes. To find out if yours is included, contact the Aseptic Packaging Council at 800/277-8088, or your local department of sanitation. If not, contact Tetra Pak, the manufacturer, for how to bring drink box recycling to your curb: 847/955-6000. Or choose to use washable drink containers instead.
2. Polystyrene: As part of a new "Foam from Home" program, you can bring Styrofoam trays, cups, and packaging to schools or businesses that have a Styro Solve system. This converts Styrofoam into a compact, recyclable gel. Learn more from International Foam Solutions, 800/856-3626. You can also bring those irritating packaging peanuts to most Mail Boxes Etc. stores to be reused.
3. Computers: In 1998, some 20.6 million PCs were retired from use, but only an estimated 11% have been recycled. Donate your computer to charity: Share the Technology; The National Cristina Foundation. Or send your old PCs to IBM for recycling ($30, including shipping), 888/SHOP-IBM.
4. Batteries: Although rechargeable batteries do eventually quit, they are recyclable. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation will help you find recycling centers near you for nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium ion (Li-ion), and small sealed lead batteries (800/8-BATTERY). (Call your local department of sanitation to learn how to dispose of regular alkaline batteries.)
5. Cardboard: In 1997, Americans threw away 10 million tons of corrugated boxes. If your town lacks curbside cardboard recycling, ask officials for it. In the meantime, you can often give unsoiled boxes to grocery stores or other businesses for recycling or reuse.

- Slow down at the highway to cut costs and cut carbon! Slowing down from 75 mph to 65 mph will drop your highway gasoline consumption 15 percent.
- Take 30 seconds to inflate your tires corretly to the proper pressure we would save 200,000 barrels of oil a day!
- Bring Your Own Bag: You'll save one mile's worth of petroleum for every 14 plastic bags you don't use. Not to mention cut down on pollution-we throw away over 30 billion one time use bags each year.
- The paper industry is the world's 3rd largest contributor to global warming. Choose Recycled TP next time you're at the store.
- Ditch the screensaver- it wastes a ton of energy! Grab a 30 Seconds to Mars or ItsYourNature wallpaper instead.
- Unplug your electronics! At the end of the day shut down your computer, unplug your cell charger, coffee bean grinder, and hair dryer. It only takes 30 seconds and it all adds up.
- Take shorter showers, turn off the water while you brush your teeth and shave, and run washing machines and dishwashers only when they're full. If you wash dishes by hand, fill the sink or dishpan with water, rather than running the tap continuously as you scrub.
- Put on a sweater and lower the thermostat in the winter. At night, add an extra blanket to the bed and turn the heat way down.
- Make BIG change happen and sign a petition today at www.itsyournature.org/petition or donate $5 to support the work of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
- Grab NRDC's ItsYourNature widget and get daily tips and news on all things green.
