Where or how do you recycle plastic motor oil containers?

new nuclear power plants what about the nuclear waste?

The British government want to build several new nuclear power plants to make Britain less reliant on imported oil and gas which seems like a very reasonable and common sense proposal but what I wonder about is what they plan to do with all the nuclear waste that those plants will make, do they have any recycling plants for the waste or do they just plan to dump it underground bunkers in Scotland and forget about it like they have done in the past

Oil usages and how to conserve it..?

Can you add to me lists???

Individually Reduce the needs of Oil
Public transportation
Hybrid vehicals
Train
The less cars being bought means, less brake fluid, car battery cases, gasoline, tires, as well as boats, car bodies, paint, anti freeze ect, all made with oil in some way
Weed killer (dig your weeds up)
Fertilizer ( composte your soil will be amazing)
Garden hoses (buckets of water work tooo)
Soaplesss degerents often contain oil (use soap filled soaps)
Most ink pens are made of petrochemicals
Wax is a petroleum product, such as milk jugs, candles, polishes(recycle milk jugs)
All plastic chemicals are made of petrochemicals, and plastic is made from the same petrochemical as fiber of polyeester; so all those clothes sitting in your closet you don’t need, you are wasting oil products(recycle plastic, pass on clothing you don’t need, or donate it)

Nationally
Utilize wind, and other natural never ending ways to create energy, water mills, wind mills, solar pannels, ect.
Train

Globally
Utilize wind, and other natural never ending ways to create energy, water mills, wind mills, solar pannels, ect.

This is the question I have chosen:
Produce a piece of work based on ONE of the following on the theme of RECYCLING.
Think about: LANDFILL SITES, RUBBISH, WASTE, ENERGY – HEAT/LIGHT/WATER
a) Make a picture or 3D piece using scrap and waste materials.

Fear of ingesting recycled cooking oil in china?

I’m going to china in a little bit and I read that a lot of oil in china was recycled. What frightened me even more was that news sources claim the oil to contain carcinogens which, links to my phobia of cancer which, along with other health risks is made even worse by my being more worried about my health(I actually have very good health and health habits) than most other people. Please give me some tips on how to not be overly paranoid when I go there and not waste time and effort to avoid it.
