Walk into Norfolk Recycling Corp., an automotive salvage yard along U.S. 58 in Suffolk, Va., and you’ll find vehicles neatly parked side by side. Inside the garage, parts are categorized and bar-coded for inventory control.Each part is

By Kim and Charles PettyOne of the easiest (and best) ways of making extra money is by collecting old newspapers and selling them to a "recycling plant" in your area. Just look around your own home--in the garage or the basement. What do you do with the old newspapers after you've read them? Most likely they are piled up in a corner of the garage or basement until one of your kids asks if he can

(Portland, OR) Tory and Victor Harris are as green as you can get. They own two hybrids, use solar energy to power their house and recycle more than most.“Hell, we recycle more than anyone! We recycle everything we use including our fingernails, shower water and sewage. We're so green, we make Ed Begley Jr. look like Dick Cheney,” and Victor.
We’ve all heard the warnings; acid rain, global warming, landfills without any room, and on and on. We don’t recycle because it’s the “in” thing to do; we recycle because we don’t have any other options if we plan to leave the planet for generations to come.

Usually you go to Best Buy to pick-up some new piece of electronic equipment to replace either an outdated piece or a broken one. Inevitably, this means something is going in the garbage. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Most consumer electronic products are manufactured from various materials and assembled in complex ways which makes them difficult to disassemble economically. Unless products can be disassembled and the different streams of materials separated to a component level, the product cannot be recycled. For this reason, they are disposed of in landfills.

Mulch Your Garden with Junk Mail [Recycling] A reader at frugal finance blog Get Rich Slowly suggests shredding your junk mail and using it to mulch your garden. To avoid killing your garden with inks and metals leeching off the shredded paper, the author uses the following guidelines: I only shred the non-glossy stuff, and try to avoid colored ink as much as possible. Since I'm shredding to avoid identity theft in the first place, and credit applications these days contain colored ink, I can't stay 100% black and white, but I can accept that.I shred plastic items like credit cards and CDs separately and discard.I only use the shreds where food is not grown, just to be safe. You can also use it in the bottom of flower pots inside the house to save potting soil. Haven't tried this my
Pete collects discarded computer hardware and peripherals from a a company or 2.By stripping them down into their components, it results in several collections of all kinds of resources. This enables him to at negligible cost, build renewable energy devices.Another obvious advantage to recycle or used recycled parts, is our attempt to slow down our devious effect on our planet, our home. If you have not seen 'An inconvenient truth', then please do so and consider what you can do towards this goal of being able to inhabit this planet for a while longer before the environment turns seriously nasty and uninhabitable.Consider that extracting resources and producing parts of things requires energy, and it is this very energy that is fast becoming a scarce resource.The equation is simple: Too ma
"I am so sorry for your loss. I need to ask, did your mom/husband/child ever discuss organ donation with you?"This question makes me feel like the worst nurse ever. Since moving to OB, thankfully it isn't a question I need to ask anymore. Yet after working 13 years on Acute Care it is a question I'm familiar with. Until that point I've done everything in my power to either preserve that life, or at least to help death be a calm, pain free transition. In asking that question now, I'm not only acknowledging that there is nothing left to be done, but I'm asking permission to allow a doctor to harvest organs from their mother, spouse, or child.In my job, this is the portion of organ donation I dealt with. Personally though, I've experienced the other end of organ donation. The waiting,

It has never been a secret that hawkers recycle used mineral water bottles, fill it with tap water (ok, a believed to be fit for drinking water, with no visible impurities) and sell it back to thirty passengers who neither have patience to check the purity of the water, nor have an alternate option to quench their thirst. What surprised me, that some manufacturers of mineral water bottles, knowingly or unknowingly are directly assisting this “sell new water in old bottle” lobby, due a faulty design of bottle caps. Ideally, a cap of a sealed mineral water bottle will have two parts- the main cap and a circular ring which is factory sealed with the main cap.

Recycling Eggs Despite your best efforts, your hen is still going to lay plenty of eggs. A clutch will consist of 8 - 12 eggs. A lot of hens will lay many more than this, and never show any interest in building a nest or sitting on the eggs. No one has been able to determine with any certainty why some (if not most) button hens simply have no interest in their eggs, but it seems that a hen who goes "broody" (chooses to build a nest and set the eggs) is the exception rather than the rule. If your hen is one of those rare birds who will nest, I've developed a little system that will keep her from having to lay a whole clutch each time. My system presumes that your female lives alone or with other females, and will not be laying fertilized eggs. She'll have to lay the first clutch herself, a

Are you throwing out perfectly good recyclable plastics? If you aren't recycling the following list, you are adding garbage to the landfill for nothin'. While it's important to recycle your plastic, it's a little known fact that plastic containers are not recycled to make new containers, but to make other secondary materials. Consumers who recycle plastics think they may be helping to reduce the amount of plastic used and our reliance on petroleum, however, recycling will do little to stop production overall. Not to discourage you from recycling though! Many new items are being made from plastics like shoes and even clothing, so keep it up. But the best thing to do is to limit consumption by purchasing items with the least amount of packaging. Depending on your municipality, you can recycl
