In certain forums, recycling is belittled as a fool's errand and a meaningless gesture to the environment. Of course, the cabals who challenge the importance of recycling are also the same people, in general, who became fat from doing business with palpable disregard for the environment. Just what is recycling and how important is it to the planet and to all of us? Let's consider some important recycling facts, after we are clear about the meaning of recycling.
"Recycling involves processing used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials."
Recycling is absolutely needed to help preserve our environment. It functions to decrease the emission of toxic fumes by moderating the pile of trash incinerated and by moderating petroleum being utilized to extract new materials. In fact, it lessens the need for raw materials as old ones are re-utilized for production.
Recycling facts about plastic
Plastic, a product of our modern profligate way of life, was hitherto praised as a revolutionary discovery - it even garnered an award in the World's Fair in London in 1862. It's long lasting, light, and transformable. Lamentably, over the years, it is this very strength of plastic that has surfaced to be an ecological fiasco for us. A hunk of plastic cast off today takes centuries to decompose, it will persist for at least 500 years before dissolution.
All plastics can be reused, it's perplexing why most of us don't recycle. An encouraging technology has been announced just a few weeks ago that could lend more motivation for us to recycle plastic waste. A company in Washington, D.C. called Envion, has recently announced the opening of its new recycling facility that could take in all types of plastic trash and turn these into fuel. Hopefully, this will perform as billed - it could prove to be the answer to the earth's plastic waste debacle.
We use and discard 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour! Recycling just 26 of these bottles is enough to produce one polyester suit!
Lately, many news outlets and celebrities have been discussing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It's estimated to be double the size of Texas and contains as much as 100 million tons of plastic waste. Through a process known as photodegradation, the plastic in the patch is breaking down into shrapnel-like pieces and are ingested by fish and other sea organisms, which we eat - the plastic we heedlessly threw away has resurfaced by way of the food chain to afflict us all.
Recycling facts about paper
Due mainly to the Computer Age, old-style dailies are now using less paper to print their daily issues. As progressively more people go to the internet to read the news, old names like The Washington Post and The San Francisco Chronicle are now forced to publish online sites or risk becoming inconsequential.
To produce a weekend issue of every newspaper in America, 500 thousand trees were chopped down for their pulp to produce all that paper. In America, 85,000,000 tons of paper are used every year - that's about 680 lbs. for every man, woman, and child in this country.
If we reuse just one out of ten of the newspapers we read and discard afterward, we'd prevent the cutting of 25 million trees annually. The best move, nix all subscriptions NOW or subscribe via RSS solely to the online edition of your favorite daily.
Recycling facts about metal
Are you aware of the YouTube film showing aluminum cans? It's amazing how we waste this useful metal by not recycling. The number of aluminum material we discard annually is said to be enough to remake all the commercial aircraft in America three times over!
Every year, Americans require about 80 billion pieces of aluminum soda cans, and a large part of these are thrown away in our landfills.
Turning in a single aluminum soda container is equal to storing electricity that's enough to run a 100-watt bulb for 20 hours, run your computer for 3 hours, or view the Jonas brothers on TV for three hours.
There are those who suggest that recycling at this time is both expensive and futile. These people propose that we deposit all waste material in landfills now and sit tight for technology to surface that would make it more systematic and economical to dig up landfills and clean up the oceans for all the piled up garbage, and recycle these into new products for us. I certainly look forward to that day, but in the meantime, we have to confront waste, short supply of materials, warming gases, and inadequate dump sites. It's our world - no one else will take care of it, there's just us. Let's recycle today, and educate ourselves about recycling facts in our libraries and on the web.

Are Alternative Fuels on the Road to a Solution?
There are many innovative solutions to the current questions concerning high gasoline prices and greenhouse emissions. Crops grown especially for fuel. Ethanol made from corn has no harmful emissions it is made from a reusable resource, the US government is pushing for 80% bio-fuel mixed with 20% gasoline, they can better than that! Bio-fuels produced from crops such as soybean and corn are at an effective alternative to gasoline both being a renewable resource that helps the farmers have a constant demand for their crops all the better for a continuous cash flow. However, if all the corn currently grown in the US was used to produce ethanol it would only meet only around 12% of the current demand for fuel, more and more land is being bought up for the production of ethanol, and it's largely dependent upon the weather, a yield of around 18 gallons of oil from corn can be produced per year per acre, more can be possible with genetic alterations, the growing process also requires fertilizes, pesticides and heavy machinery to harvest, effectively adding to soil contamination. It is also estimated the process uses as much energy to produce and transport as regular oil. There are also concerns that the farmland required for producing ethanol from crops will take up valuable space previously used for food crops, as recently food crops have suffered from extreme weather conditions and natural disasters pushing food prices higher, is then using this land, to produce ethanol feasible or even ethical?
Other alternatives being looked at are probably more efficient but less appealing to some, include reusing vegetable oil, a converter with filter, which can be placed in any diesel engine to allow it to take 100% used vegetable oil such as that from restaurants, it is refined slightly after being collected, and then sold at less than half the price of regular gasoline, higher end cars such as Saab and Mercedes are using this technology.
Water powered cars are also a reality by splitting the hydrogen oxygen (H2O) combo, that comprises water, and using the energy that is produced when they are put back together, these cells can be effectively be installed into cars reliant on petroleum, tailpipe emissions? Water.
Bio-gas energy sources have come up with a process of using organic wastes solids or liquids, do you remember in the movie back to the future, when the professor came back from the future at the end of the movie he stuffed garbage into the fuel tank and converting it into a usable gas product. Well at biogas energy sources they take food waste with other degradable organic matter like grass clippings, and by placing them through in holding tanks, they decompose naturally, the gas is siphoned off and the methane is used for powering generators boilers etc, or it can be refined further to make fuel for transportation.
However, the most exciting development of bio-fuel is that of using algae it is a fast growing high-yield product, 50% of it's body weight is an energy source, it is quickly grown on ponds and requires no pesticides or fertilize to flourish, 20,000 gallons per acre per year can be produced on open surface ponds, Glen Kertz of Vertigro explains that different strains of algae can be used to meet other transportation needs for jet fuel and diesel if produced in contaminate free Vertigro, they grow the algae vertically in plastic bags hung in a green house, enabling more surface area to to exposed to sunlight and enabling an enormous amount of the water to be continually recycled, it also takes up far less space and therefore yield per acre is much more than 20,000 gallons per year.
With all these alternatives, when will it be feasible for these methods to be available the general public?

whats wrong with my hydrogen fuel cell? please help!?
my fuel cell in getting very hot, so hot that the plastic is softening. when left on for an hour, the water will reach over 200 f. degrees. what do I need to do in order to run cooler? do I need to introduce a cooling condenser? let me give some specs in it.
the container is made up of two 4" rubber quick caps, and 12" pvc sewer drain pipe.
the electrode is made up of 4 stainless steel wall outlet covers spaced at 3/4" using pvc plastic spacers.
the electrolyte mix is 2 quarts of distilled water and one table spoon of baking soda.
I also have to use a 30 amp fuse, the 15 amp didn't last very long!
Disconnect it before you destroy your car. If you had to use a bigger fuse than the specs called for you are risking an electrical fire.
