Read these paragraphs from an internet website about recycling and reusing. Complete the paragraphs by writing the correct form of each verb.

Number 1 is an example.

Recycling is the process of reusing materials that may ” be assumed ” (assume) to be waste. Collection containers ” _____________ ” (locate) in many cities and towns around the world, where people can put cardboard, glass, metal, paper, or plastic to “_____________” (recycle). These items “__________” (pick up) and taken away. Then the materials “___________” (use) to produce other products. Right now you “____________” (probably surround) by products that “_____________” (make up) of recycled materials.

Instead of “_____________” (destroy) and produced again, however, many items can simply “_____________” (reuse). For instance, many books that “_____________” (find) in cafes, bookstores, or libraries once “_____________” (belong) to someone else. One restaurant owner inCoffeetown keeps her coffee grounds instead of throwing them away. Later they “___________” (collect) by local school children who use them in place of fertilizer in their school vegetable garden. The children sell their vegetables to the same restaurant, where they “_____________” (cut up) to make fresh salads and sandwiches. The food there “_____________” (think) to be the tastiest in town.

Reusing and recycling “____________” (believe) to be two of the best ways to reduce waste and to save natural resources. Reusing “____________” (consider) preferable to recycling, if possible. It “_____________” (often say) that one man’s garbage “____________” (regard) as another man’s treasure. Who ever thought that this saying could help save environment, too!

Can I recycle cleaning supply containters (household and skincare) with some residue inside?

I would like to recyle washing detergent, glass cleaner, toothpaste, floor cleaner etc. containers but it is damn near impossible to get the residue all out. Sure I can dump it out but getting all the soap suds takes time and water wasted… I live in LA and these are going into the blue bin. Can they be recycled, or not? Can I leave residue?

THANKS!

“Ibama finds tons of garbage sent from UK to the Port of Santos

Containers with the shipment were opened on Monday, July 6th.
Companies will be fined and must return the garbage back to Europe.

Approximately 300 tons of garbage collected in the United Kingdom were found in containers in the port of Santos, 72 km from São Paulo, on Monday July 6th. The shipment was sent by two companies, and was supposed to be plastic for recycling.
The containers arrived in Brazil last week, but were opened only on Monday. A team from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA) went to the site to check the shipment, and got scared when they opened the doors. “This is a disrespect to our country, we are not the world landfill”, said a supervisor.

The British household waste passed through several countries before arriving Brazil. In the Port of Santos, there was 16 containers with 290 tons of garbage. In a first search, the IBAMA inspectors found residues of food, computer cables, wet pillows and many dirty empty cleaning product packages.
“We received a complain from the port of Rio Grande, where they found a similar shipment, actually even more than here. Then, they asked us to check this shipment from the same company. It’s an absurd disrespect to Brazil” says Ingrid Oberg, Ibama’s regional head.
The importing company and the carrier were reported. Each will pay R$ 155,000.00 (£ 48,000.00) in fine. Ibama also put a period of 10 days for those companies to return the garbage to it’s country of origin.”

Help With A Math Word Problem! Algebra 2?

Waste Schleppers Inc. transports sealed containers of aluminum and glass refusee to a recycling plant. Each full container of aluminum weights 300 pounds and occupies 60 cubic feet of space and each full container of glass weighs 900 pounds and takes up 75 cubic feet. The firm charges $100 per container for hauling aluminum and $80 per container for hauling glass. If the Waste Scleppers truck has a load limit of 22,000 pounds and only 1740 cubic feet of cargo, what is the firm’s maximum revenue of a single haul? Please help me.

Why is Habitat for Humanity wasting so much??

Need a hypothesis to test for my experiment/information gathering?

I attend a school that’s very wasteful:
-the toilets are automatic (and flush at any sign of movement)
-the cafeteria sells many different, large plastic bottle drinks and canned sodas (which is also extremely unhealthy)
-all the food is served in separate, heavy duty, paper containers
-other utensils/plates/trays are cleaned under heavy rushes of water
-a huge amount of school material is printed, single-sided, on paper. To give a better gauge: each week I come home with a thick folder-ful of useless worksheets/extra information sheets that I never took at again. Additionally, each class room each day discards a 10-20 gallon sized container of waste paper, much of which is paper that’s nearly blank and can easily be reused.
-AC is ALWAYS on; in the early/late summer, they create an environment around 50 to 60 degrees, and in the winter, thin jackets will make you sweat indoors. While we are in a first world country, this is a little excessive.

Unbelievably, they also brag about their spectacular recycling program (I will not take a stance on whether recycling does or doesn’t harm the environment) as if it make it /okay/ to overuse resources. I am not, by any means, a tree-hugger/environmentalist in the conventional sense, but it really ticks me when my Environmental science teacher and my “eco-loving” friends advocate working toward environmental health while refusing to look at their faults in the face.

Thus, I am trying to design an experiment and/or presentation that will hopefully open the eyes of people in my school. The problem is, I can’t think of a single suitable hypothesis (a requirement) for it. I already know I need to narrow down my field; trying to take care of water, paper, energy, etc. at once is a bite too big.

Any suggestions?

Bi-weekly Bin collection, why are people complaining?

Is it that they aren’t recycling properly? We have bins for bottles/glass, bags for plastic containers etc, bags for papers and a kitchen waste bin…. after recycling all that my big black bin is never full, collection evert two weeks isn’t a problem – the kitchen waste bin IS collected every week, so no problems with rats/foxes etc….
Don’t get me wrong, i am the first to complain about cutbacks affecting the elderly, the young etc, but on this? I don’t see a problem, unless people are not recycling and are just continuing to throw all their waste in the old black wheelie….

Greener Office?

Hi

I am looking for web addresses of companies which will help Offices, become greener in the Edinburgh area, we are looking to recycle the majority of our waste including food, confidential waste, papers , glass, plastics and cans. I’m really looking for a one stop provider who will not only supply recycling boxes etc but who will also pick up waste, in an ideal world we would place the majority of the waste in one container and the company providing the service would sort it on uplift.

Any help appreciated.
