How about creating more Jobs through recycling and water systems?
England, has a law that says all scrap vehicles have to be recycled. Don’t you think that if the U.S. had this law we could put a lot of people back to work and create a lot of jobs plus recycle old steel and clean up cities?
Also, every year we see mass flooding in this country. Why can we create a water system that will funnel ravaged ares hit by floods to areas that are in great need of water thus making it possible for dry states to receive more water for farm lands?
The Expert answers:
Our scrapping system does work well and it’s a crying shame that the same doesn’t exist in the US. Recycling metal is very efficient, particularly aluminium – it takes 7 times less energy to recycle a can than make a new one from bauxite.
Water is a difficult problem, we too have flooding in UK and frequently the storm water is allowed to flow out to the sea when we too have areas subject to extreme drought, usually from water abstraction of nearby smaller rivers in the drier areas of UK. To transport water around is a real challenge, it would need the setting up of a national grid of water courses and this we simply do not have the resources to achieve. Whilst we have larger rivers not all run in the same direction, nor do they connect, not even by canal systems.
At present the greatest impact would be to simply use less water: the car doesn’t need to be washed each week; don’t run the tap when brushing your teeth; don’t think that a power shower uses less water than a bath – it can use just as much and is not an economy; save rainwater for watering the garden and don’t ever use sprinklers; wash dishes by hand; never run the washing machine for only one garment. Simple really.

How does recycling add jobs to the economy?
Or, briefly explain advantages to recycling or composting.
The Expert answers:
The biggest advantage is extending the life of a landfill. We are running out of places to bury our garbage. On the east coast many cities have to burn it or pay to ship it out of state. The more we recycle the longer a landfill will last. The cheaper your waste removal bill will be.
