The less recyclable material buried in a landfill, the better. All of my veggie waste goes into a compost bin. Then into the garden after it composts. We have less garbage, and “free” fertilizer. Tea bags, coffee grounds, fruit and veggie waste, old bread and tortillas all compost quite well.

The Expert answers:

Try calling your garbage pick up company. They usually will pick up recycled garbage and many time will provide you with special bags for the recycled products.

The Expert answers:

Yes. In my rural area, we have to haul our own refuse to the collection center and it’s easy to have a carton for recyclables and a bag for garbage. In addition, much of our food waste goes into the composting bin, along with litter from the chickens, leaves, and lawn cuttings. In addition, the center has a small building where you can put or take things that are still useful. You never know what you are going to find in there.

The Expert answers:

You no on garbage day some people leave out old funeture, you can make it like a project to find as many as those as posibul (alot are in the citys) and then repair them, so its like getting free funature thats nice and and you are recycling

The Expert answers:

Usually by this time they’re pretty hard to find, if not impossible. (We’ve tried.) We’re going to try to make our own bag, by cutting large garbage bags down their side seam, and then wrapping them around the tree, maybe securing with duct tape. Or we may just run with the tree outdoors really fast, lol.

You could check Lowes or Home Depot, or any other hardware store like that. Also try Bed Bath and Beyond, Linens and Things, and Target. Maybe Walgreens.

In my city, even if you put your Christmas tree in a plastic bag they still pick it up and recycle it into mulch. They do the same with lawn clippings, which you are actually required to bag.

The Expert answers:

Whether you get paid or not, most recycling centers separate glass by color. – I have recycled glass for years now and I find that presorting into containers by color to be the quickest and smoothest way to go. Right now, I’m generating much glass for recycle and, I have reasonable access to a recycling location. So, I have a kitchen garbage can with plastic bags outside; one bag for clear, green, and brown. In times past, I have had two, old fashioned, galvanized metal, garbage cans for my glass: one for clear and one with two plastic garbage can liners for brown and green glass. My glass containers have always sat outside, pretty much in the elements, and often with inadequate lids. As a result, I have come to prefer containers with cracks, splits, or holes in the bottom for drainage. At the same time, most of my containers have come to me as others cast-offs and/or have been found along side the road. From experience, your container must be strong enough and/or in good enough condition to be able to be filled with glass and still be able to be moved without falling apart.

In terms of receiving money for your recycled glass….Chances are, you will not receive recycling money from your county and/or regular garbage folks. If there is money to be earned through the recycling of materials/selling of recycled materials for further re-use/re-manufacture – your county folks and/or regular garbage stream folks are probably using monies received to further recycling efforts and/or build recycling infrastructure. There are some states that do mandate a glass bottle deposit and, in those cases you may be able to recoup the deposit fees. All too often, recycling is cheaper than sending the materials off to landfills but, either cost the collector money to gather, sort, and send off for re-use/re-manufacture or, not enough money to capture the costs of recycling. As a result, the “profits” from the other recycled materials are used to off-set the costs of landfill and/or recycling of the other materials. So, as a recycle through the county and/or your regular garbage stream folks, you don’t reap a direct payment for your materials. Rather, you realize over-all reduced costs, accessibility, and other infrastructure development.

On the other hand, if your area does have a reasonably close market for recycled glass – You may be able to find a private recycler who is paying for glass. Check the yellow pages for your immediate and surrounding areas for recyclers – call, and find out what they have to say. Do remember however, that these folks are typically “middle-men”. To be able to pay you, they must in turn be able to sell the materials they pay you for at a profit. In turn, this means that there must be someone within in reasonably close, geographical proximity who has a need adequate enough to pay for the glass.

I have never heard of anyone preferring crushed or broken glass over whole glass from the individual collector type. Your containers should be able to handle the potential for broken glass; particularly with respect to your own, personal protection. Do remember your own “profitability” with respect to storage capacity and transport: If you have to travel a distance, you may find that collecting for several months and/or a year necessary for profitability. On the other hand, you must also consider how and/or if you are able to transport a volume of glass.

I always use our reusable bags whenever I go shopping, so it’s very rare that a plastic bag makes it into our home. Any that do are taken in to be recycled. I use biodegradable bin liners, the biggest ones I can get so that I don’t use very many.

The Expert answers:

My personal opinion is that it is very good for the environment to recycle and reuse plastic bags.

Many stores have drop off receptacles at the entrances near the doors (usually large and round with a dome top) to recycle the bags. This is an ever growing trend. If you don’t see one ask and even suggest they start it.

You can also reuse them for things like dog poop pick up, wet swim suits, trash bags for the car, garage sales, etc.

My daughter wants to try and make fabric out of them by cutting them down and ironing them and then make a prom dress out of them when she is older.

The very BEST thing is to invest in 5-6 reusable shopping bags for $.50 each and never use plastic shopping bags again.

By recycling them you are not leaving them in a landfill for 100 years, sending them off to a garbage barge, taking the chance of them floating away in the wind and ending up in the “plastic belt in the ocean” or worse in the trash belt in space!

Granted recycling plastic does require energy and does have other toxic side effects and there are some that argue recycling centers of ANY kind do just as much damage to the environment as good.

The Expert answers:

Use a pole to dislodge the bag. There are also tongs that are used to extend your reach that could be used to grab the bag. Then recycle the cans or bottles.

The Expert answers:

Yes. Someone can undelete something deleted from the recycle bin. It’s pretty easy.

When you delete a file from the Recycle bin, it removes the first character of the file name, and removes it from the directory. Just search for ‘undelete program’. Typically, it’ll run and turn up tons of programs that were deleted.

If you DON’T want someone to find whatever you want to delete, rename it first to a single character name with no extension. For example, you can rename sexypicture.jpg to q, and then delete it. After you’ve deleted several “q” files, they’ll be difficult to get back — no one will know what they really are.

Good luck

At the end of the Krebs cycle, the final product is oxaloacetic acid. This is identical to the oxaloacetic acid that begins the cycle. Now the molecule is ready to accept another acetyl-CoA molecule to begin another turn of the cycle.

Acetyl-CoA enters the Krebs cycle by combining with a four-carbon acid called oxaloacetic acid. The combination forms the six-carbon acid called citric acid.

So Oxaloactetate and citric acid are not the same.

I’d say C is the right answer: decomposition and reassimilation are rapid.

I initially had the wrong answer with my own reasoning, but I found the web site shown below as my source, and I learned what nutrient cycle means. From that site, “As organic material decays, it is recycled so quickly that few nutrients ever reach the soil, leaving it nearly sterile.”

Briefly, rainforest soils are depleted of nutrients, so the plants depend primarily on the rapid decomposition of organic material. The fast growing vegetation immediately takes up the freshly released nutrients.

The web site is worth reading in depth for a full understanding.

The answer depends heavily on where you are and how your water is won. If being in small village up in the Rocky Mountains and water is taken from a local creek, it does not really matter if it goes downhill directly or by your toilet. If it is a village or town, not all of the water of the creek should be used for toilets because otherwise there is no creek anymore – an no tourists coming for fishing. Not even a substatial part should be used for human neds (toilet, wahing, cleaning the dishes etc) without clearance because this would pollute the river and there might be no fish anmore as well,

If being in California, New Mexico or other states in the south, the water supply is taking from rivers – Rio Grande (Great River) is not great anymore because almost all water is taken by humans) – or from groundwater, sometimes even from groundwater reservoirs that took thousands of years to form. Taking more water from groundwater than is resupplied by nature means to lower the level of groundwater. The consequences are disastrous because the area of the reservoir will slowly turn into a desert. Plants can not reach water with their roots, ponds and lakes fall dry, rivers as well.In some of the southern states of the USA this is a serious problem. And in many other parts of the world as well. Ensuring access to clean drinking water for every human without destroying the basics of living has been marked as one of the most important problems for 21st century by the UN.

The Expert answers:

Mostly because it cannot be used again for sometimes hundreds of years. We draw water up from aquifers that is potable, but we either contaminate it to where we either cannot use it, or we can treat it. It can also just evaporate and end up in the ocean where it cannot be efficiently use. Meanwhile, the aquifer only recharges at a certain rate, so if we’re pumping more than it recharges, especially during drought, it can be pretty easy to “waste” water. It’s true it’s recycled, but it’s the matter of how long it takes for that to happen on it’s own, or the energy we need to put into it that’s what really matters.

The Expert answers:

Construction waste recycling is the separation and recycling of recoverable waste materials generated during construction and remodeling. Packaging, new material scraps and old materials and debris all constitute potentially recoverable materials. In renovation, appliances, masonry materials, doors and windows are recyclable.
Most construction waste goes into landfills, increasing the burden on landfill loading and operation. Waste from sources such as solvents or chemically treated wood can result in soil and water pollution.

Some materials can be recycled directly into the same product for re-use. Others can be reconstituted into other usable products. Unfortunately, recycling that requires reprocessing is not usually economically feasible unless a facility using recycled resources is located near the material source. Many construction waste materials that are still usable can be donated to non-profit organizations. This keeps the material out of the landfill and supports a good cause.

The most important step for recycling of construction waste is on-site separation. Initially, this will take some extra effort and training of construction personnel. Once separation habits are established, on-site separation can be done at little or no additional cost.

The Expert answers:

Today, recycling, maintaining our sustainability and taking care of our environment is a big thing. While the best method is to reuse our wastes, this often cannot be done. Therefore, the only way to go seems to be to recycle, to use the same materials to make that same product again and again. While this seems to be a great idea, it is not always the case.

I usually carry a water bottle in my bag. I drink bottled water not because I believe it is safer or cleaner than tap water; but rather merely out of convenience. It allows me to have quick access to water when I’m not near a bubbler or a fast-food restaurant. I also refill my water bottle whenever possible. This is reusing waste products, and therefore the best way to sustain our environment. However, water bottles break. When it is broken, I throw it in the rubbish bins provided, NOT the recycling bin. Why?

I think that recycling is somewhat a pointless exercise. It is not totally useless though. I recycle aluminium cans and such. The reason why I recycle aluminium cans and not plastics bottles will be discussed later.

In the New York Times, John Tierney wrote an article called “Recycling is Garbage”. In that article, he declared that “Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America: a waste of time and money, a waste of human and natural resources”. In the article, he points out many things. For instance, packaging saves resources, reducing food spoilage. Fast-food meals generate less trash per person than home-cooked meals. Also, the cheapest way to dispose of garbage is in a landfill.

Recycling, however, costs a lot of money. The time, effort and money spent on picking materials and sorting them out costs more than it would cost to dump it in landfill. Then it would have to be re-processed. Tierney figures that the value of the labour of recycling to be literally hundreds of dollars per ton more.

People might say that landfills are taking too much space. However, it is a common myth. A. Clark Wiseman of Spokane’s Gonzaga University figures that, at the current rate, Americans could put all of the trash generated over the next 1,000 years into a landfill 91 m high and 56 km square or dig a similar-size hole and plant grass on top after it was filled. America has an area of 9,631,418 square km. I doubt they will have trouble finding an area to dump their rubbish. Some people might be worried that this landfill is hazardous and potentially lethal to the environment. An easy solution to this is to shoot off the rubbish into space. All we need to do is provide that much space for rubbish and shoot it off to space once every a thousand years.

People also say that we are going to run out of resources in the near future, they are wrong. Resources on earth are not scarce at all. WorldWatch, a group which has constantly predicted the near future when humans will run out of resources, now acknowledges: “The question of scarcity may never been the most important one”.

People think that recycling paper saves trees. This is wrong. Paper is made from trees which are specifically grown to be chopped down to be turned into paper. It has the same concept as a chicken farm. Australians eat 1 billion chickens every year. And yet, chicken is not an endangered species. This is because we farm chicken. If we are to hunt chickens from the woods and still eat the same amount of chicken, chicken will be extinct in a matter of hours. The same goes for trees. We ‘farm’ trees the same way we farm chickens. Recycling paper doesn’t save trees. As a matter of fact, recycling paper does more harm to the environment than to just make paper freshly from trees. The process of transporting used paper, sorting different types of paper and many other processes involved in recycling paper produces a lot more pollution than just chopping down trees and turning them into paper. The only real way to reduce paper consumption is to read the content of the paper over and over again. A fully-grown oak tree soaks in about 380 L of water a day. That is a lot of water. However, this oak tree does not only consume water, it also eats greenhouse gases and helps purify the air. On the contrary, if everybody stops using paper all of a sudden, we will eventually destroy those trees and use the area for something else. So in fact, throwing away paper saves trees. More paper demand means more trees will be planted and therefore cleaner air.

People also think that we are running out of water. But truthfully, water does not run out. Where would water go? We don’t shoot water off to space. The water that we use is contained inside earth’s gravitational pull. In fact, we have more water than the dinosaurs, since the icecaps are melting. The dinosaurs lived for 115 million years and they didn’t die out because they run out of water. Humans have only been around for 2 mill

The Expert answers:

It is not just the waste at the bottom that you need to remove by vacuuming the gravel. The real goal is to remove the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate (poop is future ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate). You will almost always have small traces of these compounds in your WATER (not just sitting at the bottom), so adding the water back to the tank would really be doing very little (really, it completely counters your time spent cleaning the tank). Many people use their tank water to water their houseplants because the fish poop is pretty much fertilizer…

It gets naturally recycled, generally yes. But if one country were to waste a lot of water through evaporation due to improper agricultural practices (like, for example, India), then that water isn’t lost for the planet as a whole, but it might only come down as precipitation in other countries, or over the ocean, our out of season.
So yes, it’d difficult to destroy water, but it doesn’t cycle instantly, and you can have local losses, or losses for a season, and thus have water shortages.

This girl is no moron, she is playing it for all it’s worth. You know this girl but you don’t know this girl. What you love about her is her persona and the way she interacts with you.

The reason she acted as if she knew nothing about it is she is playing you as well. She doesn’t want you butting in and upsetting the apple cart as they say. Her next move will be to tell him the things you asked her and in the process she will in fact complain that you are getting in her business and she feels offended. He will then in turn be her night in shining armor and come to you.

When he comes to you, he will be demanding towards you and protective of her. You will lose your friendship with him and your job. She will not care. I call people like her “Chameleons.” They leave a great deal of devastation in their wake.

You will as always, be entangled in drama but in the end lose out. She won’t care, your boss will feel like a big macho man, and she will continue to play him until he is no longer useful to her and she will then move on like a shark to her next “meal.”

The Expert answers:

In fact I am an Israelite and as Jewish as they come. There stereotype of Jews being cheap were created by Euro-trash prior to WW I. Jewish people give more money to charity than per capita than any other people on earth. If you are Torah observant you could understand that spending on oneself is an act of idolatry, but spending on the needs of others is a blessing.

Never be a slave to the created, but obey the Laws & Teachings of the Creator. Pope John Paul made a belated apology to the Jewish people for the way we were treated and stereotyped by Anti-Semitic church leaders during WW I & WW II. If anyone is cheap it’s the Germans and other like minded Europeans and not the Jews.

On Christian holidays, as is my experience, Jews work in the place of Christians in a myriad of jobs. We work so they can have the holidays off for their families. In modern day Israel again it is the Jews who provide more humanitarian aid to the so called Palestinians than do their own governing Authorities and we do it with private funds.

These are simply facts. Yassar Arafat and his wife stole 9 billion dollars from the Palestinian Authority and moved it to banks in France and no one raised an eyebrow. 89% of all foreign aid sent to the Palestinian occupied territories is stolen and used to purchase weapons to kill Israelis or allow Islamic leaders to fuel hatred while living in lavish lifestyles. There are some Jewish people (Meeshpookah) who are a bit thrifty and won’t spend very much at all on themselves but give tons of money to Jewish charity and they do so quietly so as not to glorify themselves.

Hope this helped….

The Expert answers:

I mostly agree, and it influences whose questions I attempt to answer here.

But this notion, if taken to extremes, misses the fact that a great deal of problem-solving is learning technique, and most of our technical expertise is learned from others. I don’t see anything wrong with seeking help when you don’t see the correct approach to a problem. In fact, I think it should be encouraged; a student who wastes time on useless approaches may not learn what he needs to learn, and unless he is led to the correct technique, he may waste his instructor’s time, too.

But the point of seeking help is to learn the technique, not simply to have the problem “done” for you. That is why I typically skip questions when someone has simply “dumped” their homework out here for someone else to do. If I do it, the sheer number of questions they asked practically guarantees that they will not learn, and they are likely to hand in the homework and convince their instructor they know the material, leading to a very bad situation for both when they are tested later.

I once had a student job helping other students in a computer lab. I ran into people who simply wanted the work done for them–including one classmate who had fished a pre-debugging copy of my own program out of the recycling bin and copied it, then expected me to supply the fixes for the bugs from my finished version. I also ran into someone who asked me a question only every few weeks, and was always far more advanced before he came back with another question.

My favorite was someone who kept seeking me out because I was so nasty to her. She’d made it clear that she really wanted to understand, not just get the answers, and I got into the habit of leading her to the answers by asking her questions. (Socrates must have been pretty hard to take as a teacher.) Anyway, we both enjoyed the exchanges; she learned a lot, and so did I.

Not really all that weird. It is happening more and more as the younger people get out of High school and get jobs etc, it is a proven fact they can’t support a family. If they go off to college they may do better, but the job market isn’t to good even with a college degree. So serious minded women are realizing an older more established man (Not Boy) treats them better in all departments. My wife is 13 years younger than me, we are getting a divorce, she is just to immature and not very intelligent. So her intelligence and maturity was beneath me, and the stupid stuff we argue over is outrageous. It’s not the age that’s the problem but the generation gap in our upbringings. We the older generation had a harder life and you kids today you have no idea. The older generation gets blamed for not taking care of the earth, but it is really you kids today that are contaminating it. We used to take the glass bottles back to the store for a deposit, a big family passed down hand me down clothes, if we sent something fragile we packed it in newspaper not bubble wrap or Styrofoam, we drank water from the fountain not a plastic bottle that has to be recycled, we used cloth diapers and washed them out and reused them, not disposable diapers that clutter the city dumps.We used newspaper and scrap wood to start the fire in the stove. We didn’t have cloth diapers, plastic bottles, styrofoam cups, wax milk cartons, etc. If the girl and the older man can get on the same page they have it made. If she thinks everything the guy does is old fashioned there may be problems. However, an older guy can take care of the girl a lot better than most of these young guys that don’t have a clue. Age doesn’t matter, your mind set will make it or break it. Wouldn’t it be better to have 10 or 12 years of happiness rather than 40+ years of fighting and struggling marrying a younger guy who is not established and not ready for the responsibility of being a husband and a father?

The Expert answers:

In answer to your question, I doubt that anyone would think that the Federal minimum wage is enough to live on. In fact 17 states doubt it too and have minimum wages higher than the federal one.
Having said that, there are a good number of people who have no choice but to live on minimum wage, until their situation improves. There are ways to do it. If you look at the current poverty guidelines set by the Federal government, you’ll notice that the rate for a family of 1 is $9,800 – below the annual income ($10,712, assuming a 40 hour work week with no overtime). How convenient. I think it would be almost impossible to do without subsidized housing – public housing or Section 8. People, including households where they want one of the parents to stay home and home school the kids, have come up with all kinds of ways to live frugally. These methods include cooking all the meals once a month, clipping coupons and joining coupon orgainzations for trading coupons, recycling cans and bottles, making and selling things, shopping at the thrift store, and on and on, not to mention that people often work 1 1/2 – 2 jobs and/or overtime to make ends meet.
I’ll just leave you with a mental picture; a true story from my property management days at the Housing Authority in NYC. I once rented an appartment to an applicant who was a single man making the minimum wage pumping gas ($100 a week at the time). He came in neat and clean and with a letter of recommendation from his employer. His living arrangement and employment had already been verified and inspected (in person) by the Applications Unit. THE MAN LIVED IN A CARDBOARD BOX. He was so greatful to get an apartment in a housing project. I have to admit, I had to tear around and pretend to fiddle with papers so he wouldn’t see the tears welling up in my eyes – and it’s not that I’m overly soft (I’ve had to evict seniors, children, and invalids). That’s a person trying to live on the Federal minimum wage.

The Expert answers:

Some people mistakenly think that “going green” is expensive. In fact, I’ve saved a ton of money by living a green lifestyle for the last 40 years.

Some people think “going green” will cost jobs. It may. But then, buggy whip makers lost their jobs as the world around them changed. NEW jobs will be created.

Some people argue that “going green” is simply a marketing ploy with little practical effect. For SOME products and companies, that is true, but not for all. Shaklee products I used back in the 70’s have always been “green.” “Green” labels can be misleading, so actually reading the labels or doing a little research on the product can be required. Some may object that it is “too difficult.” I disagree, and think that living in a polluted and depleted world would be much MORE difficult.

Going green can be inconvenient if your community does not make recycling readily available. Our little town offers only paper recycling. I have to haul the recyclables to another town when I am going that way anyway, which means that quite a bit accumulates and it can be a storage problem. I still do it, but many simply do not.

I’m hard pressed to find reasons to support the “opposite” side. Good luck.

The Expert answers:

Clean energy alternatives, recycling and other programs to improve the environment are all very worth while and have merit.

The problem lies not with local government or even nations. But, all nations. The United Nations should make the environment a primary concern to include a unified global program.

Too often when a global program is attempted, the cry of jobs and economics comes into play.. But, that doesn’t excuse or obscure the fact a global program regarding the environment is needed, to work in and include the economics, of every nation. ASAP…

The Expert answers:

Remember that these are all my views, so there may be better ones or unaddressed details:
1. Stop having babies for a while
I wouldn’t say that the problem is people having babies. I think people lack a general respect for sex or the process of having children itself. Unwanted children are plentiful across the world.

2. Stop raping which is still wrong,
The problem with rape laws is that rape is hard to define. Everyone understands that rape is unacceptable, but interpretation defines what is and isn’t convicted.

3. Recycle a lot more,
I can’t argue with that, though some places don’t have the availability to recycle. Recycling costs money which in many places is more scarce.

4. Save energy for an hour at night,
It would definitely help a lot, more than anyone can imagine. I personally have gotten into the habit of turning things off when I don’t use them. It’s somewhat of a discipline, although, it takes an extra effort, which many are a bit selfish to put forth, are tired from work, or many other potential reasons.

5. Stop making new cars and cell phones,
Truly it would help, but we know that that’s not going to happen. We would be better off going into research to create more efficient cars to roam the streets. Cell phones, honestly, I don’t know as much about, so I won’t try to make something up.

6. Be a little careful when drinking too much water,
It is true what they say about needing to drink a lot of water per day. What most don’t think as much about though, is using water efficiently. Combining laundry into larger loads, taking shorter showers, and not watering your lawn on a rainy day are a few examples of how to conserve water. It’s hard to drink too much water. It’s easy to drink too much soda, though. 🙂

7. Eat only when its usual,
This could most notably stabilize ones metabolism. The body itself has a general rhythm that it appreciates, and a regular, sufficient set of meals each day would most likely make it happier. Who knows? Maybe happier people would put more thought into recycling or conserving water or even saving energy!

8. Stop moving to different areas unless that’s part of your job,
This can be good or bad. When a person is single and if they are sociable, it might be very pleasant to move from place to place, meeting new people and experiencing new things. Once one begins to build a family, though, it’s not a bad idea to find a place to settle down. I, personally, love meeting new people, but even so, I don’t think I would have appreciated moving constantly throughout grade school.

9. Stop cutting down trees,
There’s no argument to this. I believe in the concept of global warming, and even though loggers are supposed to plant new trees for each and every old one, I believe that they should plant more and leave more standing. Interesting Fact: Some of the largest trees in the world (I forget the type) have such small wood fiber that they would only be good for toothpicks! Some trees are saved due to their own nature.

10. Use recycled paper for school and work,
While it is an ideal thought, the amount of loss between initial paper and recycled paper is actually quite high. The output of recycling in general is not as high as you would think, so for the world to continue to use paper as it does, more trees will need to be cut down. Many things are becoming digital these days, though. The infinite masses of papers and files are becoming computer archives, so less paper will be necessary.

The Expert answers:

Yes. In fact the semi-major-axis would be “only” about 240 astronomical units (for a period of 3700 years). This would place the aphelion(furthest point in its orbit) well within the outer solar system, albeit much further than any observed member of the system.

Of course, if such a planet really existed, none of the inner planets would have the nice, almost-circular orbits we now enjoy.

The inner solar system would be totally disrupted by now.

Earth would not be habitable.

So, even though such a planet is “possible”, the existence of Mars and Earth, in their present, low-eccentricity orbits is good evidence that it does not exist.

In any event, it would have been found a long time ago. Remember that Pluto is smaller than our Moon (1/6 the mass) and it is at 40 astronomical units. Yet it was found almost 80 years ago by a guy comparing photos two at a time.

We now have automated observatories that discover asteroids less than 100 feet across (not even dangerous enough to worry about) years before they come close to us.

According to the hoax (and to Zechariah’s story, for Nibiru), Planet X is a full-sized planet and it should be less than 5 astronomical units from us by now.

It should be visible even without telescopes. In fact, it should be at least as bright as the stars of the Big Dipper. Millions of amateur astronomers would have found it years ago.

—

However, we know who invented Nibiru and we know who invented Planet X (they are two very distinct fake planets, invented at different times, for different purposes).

Planet X was invented for the 2003 end-of-the-world hoax. Nancy claimed that aliens warned her that this rogue planet (rogue = not in orbit around our Sun) was going to pass too close to Earth in May-June 2003 and cause all kinds of problems (these were the original doomsday predictions: tsunami, pole flip, blocking the sunlight…).

Nancy’s “friends” were selling a book on how to survive. The aliens were going to send spacecraft to save a small portion of the human population. For a suitable donation, you could get your name on the aliens’ rescue list, if you happened to know who, on Earth, was in contact with the aliens…

After June 2003, the hoax had to be recycled.

By that time, it was difficult for people to accept that a rogue planet keeps coming back for more. The charlatans needed a more regular fake planet. So they stole one.

Nibiru was created by Zechariah Sitchin back in the late 1960s for a book he was writing. In this book, we humans had been created by the inhabitants of the planet Nibiru. They need gold for their survival. Nibiru has no gold, but Earth does. So they use ape DNA to create us (half a million years ago) and we are their slaves.

Every 3700 years, when Nibiru comes close to Earth, they come and collect their gold. In the original story, Nibiru does not harm Earth when it comes close (after all, they need our help or they die).

In the original story, Nibiru cannot return before the year 2085.

When the charlatans stole stuff from his story, Zechariah tried to complain. But the charlatans were already rich enough, so no one listened to poor Zechariah.

Nibiru, ‘his’ fake planet, was hijacked and forced to participate in the Big 2012 Hoax.

—

Nibiru was a very old name (Babylonians, over 3000 years ago) for the planet we call Jupiter. When Zechariah was writing his story, his job was to translate old documents from that era. That is where he got his ideas for names.

There are metal recycling centers in Va but va does not participate in the refund program for aluminium. Difference would be that in other states they will give you 5cent or so just for the can. Here the give you money based on the weight of the aluminum.

The Expert answers:

At 60 cents a pound, you’d need to gather 100 pounds a day just to make 300 a week, which is close to 8 bucks an hour.
It’s roughly 1 cent per can, so that’s a lot of cans in one day.

Not possible to pay many bills, yet.

The Expert answers:

Our community recycling is hybrid, meaning that we only sort between wet and dry. Anything wet it garbage(green clear bags) and dry stuff is to be recycled (paper, carton, plastics, glass etc)

I have often pondered on how they actually sort it all out and what exactly constitutes a contamination. I think it would be a good idea for everyone to get a glance at what really goes on in the recycling plants. Cause it seems to be a true mystery. Anyways, from my own analysys, I conclude that anything that isn’t mad of a one substance will be simply put to landfill because pulling it all apart will be a waste of time. On the other hand, I am sure these facilities have extensive purifying systems to avoid getting glass or plastic into recycled paper. Things are heated, melted, rinsed, pre-sorted, my magnetism, floatation, air etc.

I thought i had a better answer, but turns out I don’t.

The Expert answers:

Our school children collected plastic bags to recycle, and earned 3000 dollars or more! We use so many. Most people will not take them back to the store to recycle, but they will give them to little school children if it’s for a fundraiser type of activity.

I reuse them a lot as garbage sacks in my house, lining the smaller garbage cans.

The Expert answers:

Just leave your plastic bottles in a clear plastic bag and place it next to your regular garbage. They should see that those bottles are recyclables and will take the necessary action.

The Expert answers:

You should drop them off in the wal-mart plastic bag recycling thing. I talked to my wal-mart manager and he says they take back all kinds of plastic even shrink wrap. I don’t know how much he really knows, but I don’t think it would hurt to add your items. It is better than the garbage people put in those containers. In my area people think they are garbage cans and put all their garbage in them.

The Expert answers:

You’re facing one of the biggest headaches that come with recycling–people who put trash in recycling bins. Whether it’s from ignorance or spite, the end result is the same–no recycling center will pick it up or accept it.

My recycling center has 5 cardboard bins and 2 paper bins that are “always” available. What do people put in them? Bags of yard waste; bags of household garbage; dead animals; used contraceptives; broken glass; used syringes; lumber; dirty clothing; televisions; tree branches; and used carpet. Since there is a large trash dumpster 200 feet away from the recycling center, I can only assume this is done out of spite. We even lost one cardboard bin and one paper bin when someone burned them down.

Not that this solves your problem, but it does let you know that it’s a common problem.

If you want to try to keep this recycling bin, my suggestion is:
1. Find a “real” trash can and put it beside the recycling bin. Ask your school to provide one if possible. This will encourage people to put their rubbish in the trash can, not the recycling bin.
2. Contact the administration at your school and ask them to empty the rubbish out of the recycling bin into a regular trash dumpster (they should have maintenance people/janitors who can do this).
3. Make a sign, or have your school make a sign, for the recycling box. “Recycling only please – put trash in separate trash can” or something similar.

It is not likely that normal collection people will empty your recycling box, as they are supposed to empty only their own boxes or bins.

I work at a school, and I put paper-recycling bins in classrooms. The students then bring the full bins to my area. If there is ANY rubbish in the paper bins, I tell the students, “Take it out to the dumpster. It has trash in it.” After this happens once, the students no longer throw trash in the classroom bins.

Bless you for trying! It can be frustrating, I know, but at least you’re trying to do something.

The Expert answers:

Recycling is more important than ever because just throwing away trash in a landfill or digging a hole and burying it is not a solution to the waste problem. Most natural trash items like food can break down and decompose in a matter of weeks, leaving no trace of it in the environment. But for man-made products like glass, plastic bags and aluminum cans it may take months or years to break down.

Recycling benefits everyone and everything. Here are a few reasons why:

* Conserves natural resources such as wood, water and minerals
* Saves energy because less energy is used to manufacture brand new products
* Produces less greenhouse gases because industries burn fewer fossil fuels
* Recycling programs cost less than waste disposal programs
* Recycling programs keep 70 tons of waste from being deposited into landfills every year
* Prevents the destruction of natural habitats
* Decreases soil erosion associated with mining and logging

The Expert answers:

Most biodegradable bags are starch based. While they are strong when dry, they do lose integrity if they are subjected to moisture. If they are covered with soil in a landfill, they still take a long time to break down. They also tend to be more expensive.

So yes, they are rarely used, although many large supermarket chains are making the move toward using them to hold groceries.

The bags themselves are not as much of a problem as what we tend to put in them to throw away. With the move toward transfer stations and recycling depots, we are reducing the amount of garbage that goes into landfills.

The Expert answers:

I have been here for life (Tampa area) and the taxes you pay pays for the collection of recycling.

We own property out in Riverview and they collect at our curb. Paper, cardboard, glass, cans and plastic. Publix will take styrofoam, plastic bags, & paper bags I think.There are recycling bins in some areas at businesses. Look around and maybe once a week you can take your own since your building is not required to recycle.

When you delete a file from a computer it gets put into a hidden directory. That is all the Recycle Bin is a hidden directory on your hard drive.

If the file is too big to go into the recycle bin, you pressed the shift key while deleting it or you empty the recycle bin then the file doesn’t go anywhere. What happens is the space on the hard drive is marked as free for reuse and will be later overwritten by new files.
