Your Questions About Recycling

The Expert answers:

Look in your local classifieds and check out housekeeping, handing out leaflets, dog-walking, and of course the ever-popular babysitting.
You can recycle, many people wish they were more environmental but just don’t want to expend their own energy. You can take their burden of guilt away by just sending out the message to your neighbors and family friends you’ll come to their house and pick up all of their plastic, aluminum & glass every so often if they’ll just save them in the garage for you. Give them a box will even make it easier for them! You can be your own boss and it’s doing something that’s very helpful.
Also placed some links like craigslist, etc. Where u can view and post your own ads for free! Lastly are some internet jobs you might wish to check out if you’re a lazy bones and would prefer to sit and post…

The Expert answers:

Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for “conventional” waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production.[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” waste hierarchy.

There are some ISO standards relating to recycling such as ISO 15270:2008 for plastics waste and ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management control of recycling practice.

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste – such as food or garden waste – is not typically considered recycling.[2] Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.

In the strictest sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material—for example, used office paper would be converted into new office paper, or used foamed polystyrene into new polystyrene. However, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so “recycling” of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials (e.g., paperboard) instead. Another form of recycling is the salvage of certain materials from complex products, either due to their intrinsic value (e.g., lead from car batteries, or gold from computer components), or due to their hazardous nature (e.g., removal and reuse of mercury from various items). Critics dispute the net economic and environmental benefits of recycling over its costs, and suggest that proponents of recycling often make matters worse and suffer from confirmation bias. Specifically, critics argue that the costs and energy used in collection and transportation detract from (and outweigh) the costs and energy saved in the production process; also that the jobs produced by the recycling industry can be a poor trade for the jobs lost in logging, mining, and other industries associated with virgin production; and that materials such as paper pulp can only be recycled a few times before material degradation prevents further recycling. Proponents of recycling dispute each of these claims, and the validity of arguments from both sides has led to enduring controversy.

Geography is reasonably well respected by most employers and I’ve given you a list of jobs where geography might come in handy one way or another. Some of the jobs are more directly linked to geography than others.

Geography involves a lot of teamwork, research, analysis and broad thinking – all of which employers like. I hated geography at school – it was DULL. But I actually did it for my degree and I enjoyed it. There aren’t many subjects where you can study volcanoes, environmental management, world culture, media representation and the social effects of communism all in one year but geography is one of them.

I can see your question didn’t post….. My dream job is to be a Playboy Playmate but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Lol

The Expert answers:

For most things, especially metals, the effect is essentially positive. Some people will argue that recycling consumes a lot of energy, but so does extracting resources from underground, refining them, and transporting them over long distances. Recycling not only eliminates the need to extract these resources from under the earth, but the materials are already refined and are usually only transported within about 200 miles.

For example, when aluminum is mined (in the form of bauxite ore), only about one quarter of what comes out of the ground can be refined into the pure aluminum that we use for cans, foil, airplanes, etc. The process is extremely energy intensive, uses a huge amount of water, and is generally destructive to the land.

Furthermore, much of the bauxite ore from around the world comes from Brazil, Australia, China, and Russia. Depending on where you live, this could means thousands of miles of transport.

When you recycle an aluminum can, however, you are taking the already-pure product and only transporting it around your general region. It goes from your house to the local recycling plant to the local aluminum manufacturer. The process is much more energy efficient and usually puts the aluminum back on the store shelves within 60 days.

To add to this, it also helps your community, as it gives jobs to workers within your general vicinity and keeps the money from leaving your local economy.

Okay I am in the EXACT same social situation at my job. I have resulted in crying because I hated life there SO MUCH. I sit in the corner doing work-I work with the county/gov recycling dept. Doing data entry-just typing businesses names in the country that recycle into different computer data bases. Really easy and stupid job. I digress.

Now, I sit in the corner and type all day-and never get talked to. NEVER. I have complained to my boss and he said that I don’t make an effort to talk-and I DO..but at the same time, I don’t care to be buddy/buddy and overly friendly-because that is how drama starts and it is some what easier not to talk at all.
This is a temp job until this coming February. So it won’t be forever-but I have such a hard time sticking with a full time job with more duties because of my learning disability that I feel I am stuck at this job.

I do go to school and will be starting classes in the fall for Criminal Justice.
This job I have now also has nothing at all with what I want to do-and I have made that VERY CLEAR to them.

Anyway, for about a year I have been applying to jobs and have told them that if I do find another job I am leaving. About every day I go into work I tell them I want to leave and find something else.

So….I suggest you really find something else. You are going to school and getting married-and you do NOT need that job. You need the money sure but….you need to try applying for something else in the mean time.

You know you are leaving, so why not leave now?! Why won’t your boss give references? See, I would not even put this job on the resume because it’s nothing but drama and crap and when you do find another job in the future, they will call your current boss and clearly they will say bad things about you. YOU KNOW they don’t care, so why stay?

You need to tell them BEFORE you leave-2 weeks before you leave that you are quitting and when you return you will be quitting the job. Do not wait until you come back because that is not leaving them enough time.

You KNOW you are quitting-so just tell them now. That way, when you come back, you won’t have to deal with them anymore.

And find another job now, so when you come back, you won’t be jobless.

Hope I helped and just know that I am on the same path as you- ignorant ppl at jobs.

I am glad to meet someone else who is like me and recycles.
Our family is very enviormentaly aware.
But, in order to help the world even more you should do the whole 3RC. That is, Recyle, Reuse, Reduce, and Compost.
You got the recyling part down pat…good job!
Also, reuse things that can be used again. Like wrapping paper and bags!
Reduce the amound of trash by giving clothes to thrift shops or take hand-me-downs!
And, compost. You can compost almost any food types except eggs.
Happy Recycling!

Well you could ask your manager for a couple of hours more a week, or look for job that pays more,you could also try recycling,or re-sale things,ask people for things that they don’t want anymore,buy cheap things at yard sales and have your own yard sale every sat or sun.Let me tell you what my son did when he was 8 yrs old,he said to me,mom can you make me three more sandwiches today for lunch,for school,so I did thinking he wanted to shared with his friends,well when he came home he said to me mom half of this $3.75 is yours,where did you get this money from?he said,I sold the sandwiches for $1.25 each,so half is yours,about two weeks after he had money again so I asked him where he got the money from so he said remember the 12 pack of pencils you bought me at the .99 store,well I sold each pencil for .25 cts,so you get what I am trying to say,and he was only 8 yrs old at the time,he is 20 now and he buys and sales car at auctions (he has his license) he also sales things through the internet.
