Your Questions About Recycling

Name a Good Non-Gigabyte Motherboard for My First Computer Build?

I need a motherboard that can support SATA, 2GB DDR2 667 DIMM RAM, an XFX GeForce 9600 GT video card, and Windows Vista Home Premium. The computer I’m building must be able to run Portal and Spore smoothly, have at least 2 PCI-Express slots (and a couple PCI slots), support an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, and be as CHEAP and STABLE as possible.

This is my first build, I’m doing it to save money (I am recycling some of the newer parts from my current computer), and I need it to work the first time so my dad won’t mock me mercilessly for wasting time and money.
We had a Gigabyte motherboard once, and it gave us a lot of problems and failed after a few months. Someone else here on Answers has said that he has had bad luck with them too. I was told that it’s just a cheap Chinese brand, and I want to make sure I get something that won’t die on me.

styraphome and plastics?

I live in the country and burn styraphome and plastics.
I burn it because I don’t want to take up room in the landfills and polute the ground water. I don’t like to recycle because it is a waste of time and effort. It’s easier just to burn styraphome and plastics just to get rid of it, then and there. Why have it sit in the landfills for 2000 yrs? I have been telling others to do the same as me due to the landfill situations. We are running out of room for building houses! I also created a mini-bookets to encourge people to “Burn, not Build up trash” My question is this. When I see the black smoke go in the air, where does it go? I don’t see it land back on the ground.

Are mailing labels (from charities) recyclable?

Anyone who gives to a couple of charities knows what I’m talkin about. I get mailing labels from tons of organizations and would like to dump them in my paper recycling, but I don’t know if they’re recyclable. So I waste my time opening the envelope and throwing the labels away while putting the rest in the paper recycling bag.

Do you waste water, gas, and electricity?

I am very wasteful. I leave all of my lights, tvs, radios, and computers on 24 hours a day. I leave the water running while shaving, brushing my teeth, and washing dishes. I stay in the shower until all of the hot water is cold. I litter all of the time. I never recycle anything. What do you think of me?

what do you do with household waste?

A lot of people throw away food every minute and waste it, and half that that food is perfect. The biggest concern is plastic bags because they take along time to break down. The landfill sites are getting bigger and bigger over the last years and are polluting the environments. People are given red boxes for plastic, green boxes for cans, brown bins for cardboard, recycling for paper and green bins for waste. A lot of these recycled products would be useful for making every day products like news papers and books.

Is there any way to recycle pens?

The plastic in the pen is what I’m thinking of. I’m an artist and use a lot of pens. Many pens don’t say what kind of plastic they are, or if they’re toxic because of the ink. Am I wasting my time?

Global Warming?

Global warming is said to be a huge problem in the world today, If you look around there is proof. The polar ice caps melting, and huge wholes in the ozone layer. Why is it people are saying it isn’t real? Is it because some people want to be lazy and not recycle? Or ride there bikes to the store instead of the luxury of riding in a car burning up gasoline? Do they not want to wake up and realize how much of an issue this is? Anyway and if noone does anything to stop it….what will happen 20 years from now?

What are your thoughts on global warming?

Explain why do you think it’s fake and isn’t real?

Explain why do you think it is real?

** I know I am going to get scolded big time by alot of people on here…so if you are just going to send hate answers or hate mail, I will not answer back..so you are wasting time**
Oh and also…if these vehicle companys are trying to be green and make environment safe vehicles like hybrids….Why are they over pricing them? A hybrid 2007 Ford F-l50 and A 2007 Silverado is almost $5,000-$10,000 more than a regular non-fuel efficient one. Why is that? wouldn’t you think they would make them cheaper to help with the enironment if they were truly worried.
crknapp79… Um, I don’t recall stating anything about land being swallowed by water…so don’t say “what grad are you in?” because you just made yourself look really dumb considering i said nothing on that subject.
