I HAVE PUT MY EDITING IN CAPITALS. I’M ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO PERSUADE COMPANIES TO RECYCLE IN THIS LETTER. WHEN YOU ARE DOING PERSUASSIVE WRITING, TRY TO SAY ‘SHOULD’ INSTEAD OF ‘CAN’, AND ALSO ‘WIILL’ SOUNDS WORSE THAN ‘CAN’ AT THE END, AND IT SHOULD MAKE THE COMPANIES FEEL GUILTY FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I HOPE I’VE HELPED 🙂

Dear Companies,

I’m a Landfill and I believe that recycling is more important than my job. My job of being a landfill is to dispose more trash than regular dumps or junkyards. There ARE many reasons why you, as companies that manufacture goods, should promote recycling.

To start, recycling is important to environment and business, according to the EPA students. I can pollute groundwater because the waste people throw IN ME seeps into the soil and then pollutes the groundwater. CompareD to recycling, this has a NEGATIVE impact. RECYCLING saves THE Earth because it preserves our natural reSourCes instead of wasting them. For example, you as companies can (MAYBE USE SHOULD INSTEAD OF CAN?) recycle paper. ACCORDING TO BRANT OLSEN, A STRATEGIST ON NATIONAL CORPORATE CAMPAIGNS, BETWEEN 3 AND 6 billion trees are cut down EVERY YEAR to make paper.

Furthermore, recycling saves up some space in my land and ALSO saves energy. I get approximately over 2,000 tons of garbage PUT IN ME each day. Instead of letting trash go to waste, recycling is the best idea. An expert (WHAT KIND OF EXPERT?) named Peter Bonenberger found that recycling one tin can saveS enough energy to power a television for three hours. In addition to that, recycling ONE glass bottle saves enough energy to power a computer for twenty-five minutes. THIS SHOWS THAT recycling EVEN A LITTLE is the best resource to save energy than disposing trash.

FURTHERMORE, decomposing waste in my land often releases noxious gases and chemicals. These gases and chemicals often cause air pollution, WHICH kills humans, animals and plants. ACCORDING TO BRIAN BASS, AN ENVIORNMENTAL JOURNALIST, IF 2000 people recycled solid waste, THEY COULD PREVENT the release of 32.9 million metric tons of poisoning gases and chemicals in air. (IN HOW LONG? ONE YEAR? ONE DAY?)

As a result, you should take this in consideration. If you PUT MORE TRASH in my land than YOU recycLE, you WILL cause pollution and other environmental problems. However, you can help by recycling and generating the amount of trash you will use up. (I’M NOT TOO SURE WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY HERE, BUT GENERATING ISN’T THE RIGHT WORD TO USE)

Sincerely,

Landfill (GO SINGULAR HERE BECAUSE AT THE START OF THE LETTER YOU SAID ‘I’M A LANDFILL)

The Expert answers:

The apartment complex would have to pay a recycling collection service to place a collection bin onsite. Obviously they don’t want to be the bad guy in raising the rent just for recyclables unless they feel the renters would be inclined to pay more if such a bin were available. You’ve already mentioned that your neighbours don’t seem overly concerned about recycling.

As a commercial business, the apartment can not take advantage of the city’s recycling program, just as it can’t take advantage of the city’s trash collection and has to contract with a collection service separately hence the ubiquitous metal bins.

Your best bet would be to have your neighbours sign a petition stating that you all want recycling bins but don’t be surprised if a separate recycling fee shows up on your shared utilities or your rent goes up with a memo blaming it on recycling.

The Expert answers:

When a city recycles plastic, what it does is separate out the plastics by type, then shreds the plastic and sells it as a raw material (or they sell the bundles to a larger recycler that shreds it and sells it.) For many plastics, it is more expensive to sort it and shred it than it is to just use virgin materials. For these plastics, there is no market for recycled materials.

In other words, the city could sort it and shred it, but they would need to get such a high price for it that no one would buy it.

So its just not cost effective to take and separate these types of plastics.

You can’t just melt all the plastics together. Each type of plastic has very specific qualities. In the same way that you can’t just melt all your metals together and then use them to make a new aluminum can or a new steel girder, you can’t just treat plastic as “plastic” – you need to treat each material as a separate commodity.

Good question.

The Expert answers:

Recycling refers to using waste products such as old newspapers, plastic, glass and aluminum bottles to make new products instead of just throwing them away. It is generally good for the environment because you keep trash from piling up and going to landfills. It also usually takes less energy to recycle than to make new products from scratch. One bad thing is that sometimes recycling in rural or spread out suburban areas with low populations can use more energy collecting trash than is saved by the recycling. Another bad thing is that sometimes customers mix the wrong types of trash together, which makes it hard for the trash company to sort it out for recycling. The numbers on the bottoms of plastic bottles are codes to tell what kind of plastic it is. Certain kinds are harder to recycle. Numbers 1 and 2 are the most common and the best to recycle.

The Expert answers:

I think they will throw it away or send it to the appropiate recycling plant. I am thinking that maybe their plant can only recycle a certain type of plastic and mixing them may set off unwanted reactions so that the end product is not what it is suppose to be. Hmm I hope that helps

The Expert answers:

Cell phones that don’t use SIM cards such as Sprint may have ESN’s that are “bad” which can mean it was stolen, had unpaid bills, etc. So mobile phone recycling companies won’t bother taking it. However if the phone uses a SIM card like T-Mobile does, it shouldn’t matter if the phone was stolen because the next user, if any, will use a different SIM card that they can pop in and it should work just fine.

If you need to check to make sure your phone’s ESN is clear, meaning it wasn’t stolen, you can check out http://www.checkesn.com which is a super quick service that will see if the cell phone can be reactivated.

The Expert answers:

Equal Opportunities will the big thing, check the Authority’s website to see what they say – when I did my interview many moons ago, I also discussed how equal opportunities applied to the area I work in. You could even ring the area that the job is being offered in, ask to speak to an admin, get an idea of what they do & what the equal opportunities policy means to them.

You might also be asked if you or any you know has been discriminated against.

You may be asked about the packages you’ve used like Word, Excel, how you would use Outlook to diary events & meetings, the task manager etc

If you’ve never worked in the Council, or the particular area that you’re applying for a job in, you might be asked general questions about the Council’s recent policy changes or any initiatives they’ve recently undertaken – just to see if you know what’s going on in the area, it should be on the Authority website or in the local newspapers. For instance, are there any regeneration projects going on? Have they started recycling recently?

You should also be asked obvious questions like how you would deal with a difficult client, for instance, if someone was standing in front demanding to see the Director of the particular section you work for.

You should also be prepared to undertake some sort of task such as typing a letter but they may not do that.

Edit: don’t forget to re-read your application form & the job advertisement, the application got you shortlisted so there must be good stuff on it plus if you’ve forgotten what you said & they ask you about it, it won’t look well

At the end of the interview, if you feel you didn’t say enough in a question or you want to expand further on an answer, maybe you forgot something you thought was important, let them know & tell them

If you’re asked what research you did for this interview, tell them – you posted on a q&a forum and some current or ex Local Authority employees responded with advice, you also checked out their website & tell them if you spoke to anyone in the section or in the Council about the job

Hopefully this is a more helpful answer, as it is rare you can just dump that stuff in your regular recycling. Depending on where you live, you should be able to find a venue to recycle all of it. I would call the local recycling entity (municipal or private depending on the locale) and ask if they take the materials or if they have a “hotline” where someone can help you locate a recycler. Most places have a brochure on the various typical business/residential/agricultural recycling needs that list the local places.

The Expert answers:

The horizontal elements are aluminum. They would have some recycle value, but the weight is so light that it wouldn’t be much, not more than a small stack of aluminum cans. I would simply pull them off the boom, fold the larger ones in half, and stick them in the trash. If you can add them to a larger collection of aluminum for actual recycling, all the better.

The mast is galvanized steel, in ten-foot sections from 10 to 50 feet. If yours is up more than 10 feet, you remove it with several helpers on the guy wires while you pull the retaining pins under each section until they all telescope into the bottom section. This might be very difficult without a special tool for the purpose, which I used to call an antenna jack. Once the sections are all telescoped, the mast can be lowered to the ground, and it’s heavy. It’s probably a job you’d want to leave to a professional if it’s multi-section mast.

A junk dealer would be interested in the galvanized steel. Check the classified ads in your paper.

Total scam. I would not even send them my name and personal info and no way would I send them any money.

Often these will turn into basically pyramid scams, where they want to you to participate in other offers or get your friends to sign up to. Almost always, they require you to make purchases every month from their online partners in order to stay active. That is in addition to any upfront costs. Still interested?

Possibly, you MAY at some point begin getting some money back, in very small amounts, as long as you follow all the “rules” to keep your account active.

Scam, scam, scam.

In your country, may you collect empty bottles and cans and sell them to the recycle? I think this is much more profitable.

The Expert answers:

Recycling centers really differ when it comes to buying recyclables. Paper and newspaper have been mentioned, copper pays quite well. Many recycling centers will also pay for scrap metal of all kinds, cardboard, and clean composition carpet pads.
It’s really best to call the recycling center closest to your home, and ask them directly what they are buying.

The Expert answers:

The mining itself has no meaning.

Bauxite for example is a very common mineral in the earth crust.
Large quantities of energy are needed to come from the status of ore (Bauxite) to aluminite and then aluminium.

Primary aluminium is produced using an electrolysis and consumed around 15 GJ of energy per tonne produced.

Secondary aluminium (recycled aluminium) can directly be melted. This process requires between 5 and 10% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminium. It is therefore extremely profitable

As aluminium is aluminium, the market price is roughly the same for primary and secondary (recycled) aluminium.

The main factor is really the energy cost as the electrolysis for primary aluminium requires large amounts of electricity.

The Expert answers:

Most types of paper can be recycled. Newspapers have been recycled profitably for decades, and recycling of other paper is growing. Virgin paper pulp prices have soared in recent years prompting construction of more plants capable of using waste paper. They key to recycling is collecting large quantities of clean, well-sorted, uncontaminated and dry paper.

50% recycled paper,
35% post-consumer.
Soy-based inks.

It is important to know what you are buying in a paper product, for that reason virtually all paper products should be marked with the percentage and type of recycled content, as above (C). Just saying “recycled paper” is not enough. “Recycled paper” could mean anything from 100% true recycled paper to 1% re-manufactured ends of large paper rolls.

“Post-consumer” means the paper that you and I return to recycling centers. From a recycling point of view, the more “post-consumer” paper the better. Soybean-based inks are gaining favor as a renewable alternative to harsh and toxic petrochemical inks.
White Office Paper

One of the highest grades of paper is white office paper. Acceptable are clean white sheets from the likes of laser printers and copy machines. Colored, contaminated, or lower grade paper is not acceptable. The wrappers the paper comes in are of lower grade, and not acceptable. Staples are ok. White office paper may be downgraded, and recycled with mixed paper.
Corrugated Cardboard

In areas that don’t take cardboard from consumers, one can often drop boxes off at a supermarket or other high volume business. Contaminated cardboard, like greasy pizza boxes, is not acceptable. In some areas cardboard must be free of tape, but staples are always OK.
Newspapers

Newspaper is widely available and of uniform consistency, which makes it valuable. The entire newspaper including inserts acceptable, except for things like plastic, product samples and rubber bands. Newspapers may be stuffed in large brown grocery sacks, or tied with natural-fiber twine. Other brown paper bags may be mixed with newspaper.
Phone books

Some phone books are made with a special glue that breaks down in water, while other phone books use a glue that interferes with recycling. Printed in your phone book should be information on the source and type of paper used, the nature of the binding, and where locally phone books can be recycled (C). Note that many phone companies continue to use virgin rain forest to produce directories. In many communities phone books are only accepted during the time new directories are distributed.
Waxed cartons (Milk, juice)

Milk cartons are plastic laminated inside, even if they don’t have a plastic spout. (C).
Mixed Paper

Mixed paper is a catch-all for types of paper not specifically mentioned above. Everything you can imagine from magazines to packaging is acceptable. The paper must still be clean, dry, and free of food, most plastic, wax, and other contamination. Staples are OK.

Remove plastic wrap, stickers, product samples, and those pointless “membership” cards, and most junk mail can be recycled as mixed paper. Due to new technology, plastic window envelopes and staples are generally ok.
Paper that can’t be recycled

Paper that can’t be recycled as normal “mixed paper” includes: food contaminated paper, waxed paper, waxed cardboard milk & juice containers, oil soaked paper, carbon paper, sanitary products or tissues, thermal fax paper, stickers and plastic laminated paper such as fast food wrappers, juice boxes, and pet food bags.

Paper with any sort of contamination or plastic layers can’t be recycled. Plastic laminated paper is bad for recycling plants; such paper should be clearly marked (A).

I’m convinced we have to recycle if we want to keep a healthy world to our children and their childrens. Altougth i really dont know for sure what we can recycle.

I would start by recycling usual stuf we use to throw to the garbage, as the plastic bags that we only use one time, if they can be reused you have to do it; those botles of mayonease or catsup, you and your kids can give them some good use; you can recycle big pieces of role aluminum, old notebooks that still have clean sheets, any ideas like this would help.

After this, you can look for places where you can throw all of paper and cardboard that you cannot use anymore, you know books, magazines, notebooks, etc, where they take those to recycle.

The same applies to the plastic and glass cans or botles, those have to be separated from paper and cardboard.

There are more things to do, i’m pretty sure, but we should start doing something.

I’ve just found a place that can be help for you and will be for me, cause i’m gonna start doing it too. It’s like a game, but it has information about it.

A family of three – garbage is about half of standard plastic trash bag per week. Recycling is much more than that though.

The Expert answers:

Actually, the US does more recycling than you think. Just because you don’t see recycling bins in front of a lot of houses and businesses in Las Vegas doesn’t mean recycling is not happening in America. Aluminum cans recycling is a huge success due to the high prices of aluminum today. Heavy copper wiring is also popular due to the high copper prices.

Paper and Cardboard recycling is successful at offices and plants that generate lots of paper and cardboard and in some schools where lots of paper is used. Recycling is common in factories where disposal of waste products would be a hassle. If you take a look at some of the products in the grocery store in the US sometimes it says “made with recycled paper” or “made with 100% recycled paper with 35% post consumer recycled paper”

Steel recycling is big business but you won’t see steel cans and bottle tops being recycled as much. Often the recycling is done by businesses that work with steel products such as factories, junk yards, and some garages that specialize in engine work. A heavy damaged engine block or a irreparable machine tools or a large damaged electrical motor contains steel, copper, and/or aluminum, all high value recycling metals. In fact many cars on the American interstates have a lot of recycled steel in them.

Bottle recycling is a problem since the average household doesn’t generate a lot of bottle waste. Bottle recycling works better in restaurants and bars where lots of bottles are used.

Plastic recycling is a bigger problem because the recycling of plastic generates little income and waste plastic tends to be more difficult to recycle and more expensive to recycle. Also plastic waste is light so you need to recycle lots of plastic bags and 2-liter bottles to make one piece of plastic furniture or some fleece jacket. The biggest goal for businesses using plastic is not to recycle plastic but to conserve plastic. The gallon milk jugs of today are much lighter and has much less plastic than those of 25 years ago and that is the same for the 2-liter bottle. Also plastic is the preferred material for the medical industry because it is very cheap and it is safer to use single use materials to prevent the spread of infection. Medical plastic waste is incredibly expensive and difficult to recycle so it tends to be buried or burned at high temperatures instead of recycled.

In the US we do not charge businesses that make or import goods a disposal fee or garbage fee so it is difficult to fund programs that encourage post-consumer recycling. In fact the best places for post-consumer is America are Portland (Oregon), the San Francisco Metro area, the Boston Metro Area, and Seattle where recycling is a way of life. But people in New Mexico and Las Vegas hardly know what post consumer recycling is.

RECYCLE BIN PROBLEMS

There are a number of possible problems that can develop with the Recycle Bin if it becomes corrupted. One is that you get the following error message when you try to delete a file:

Cannot delete “filename”, cannot find the specified path.
Make sure you typed the right path.

The steps to take to correct this problem are discussed in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;246726
Cannot Delete Any Files in Windows

The above article mentions only Windows 95 and 98 as being the possible Windows versions affected, not Windows ME. But if it occurs in WinME, the process to correct the problem would be similar; the main difference would be that you would have to boot to a startup disk before you could get to your C: hard drive, for WinME eliminated the MS-DOS mode of Win95 & 98.

For Windows 95 or 98, you click on the Start button, select Shutdown from the menu, and then click Restart to MS-DOS. When you have the “C:” prompt showing on your screen you need to type in these MS-DOS commands (each followed by typing the Enter key):

CD
(changes control to the root directory of your C: drive)

CD RECYCLED
(changes control to the Recycled directory)

ATTRIB -R -S -H INFO2.*
(removes the readonly, system, and hidden attributes of the INFO2 file)

DEL INFO2
(deletes the damaged INFO2 file and creates a new file automatically)

Now, in Windows 95 and Windows 98 you would restart the computer and hold down either the F8 function key (Win95) or the Ctrl key (Win98) to get to the Startup Menu, where you select the option for Command Prompt Only.
In Windows ME, you would again have to restart using your bootdisk and then change to the C: drive before typing these MS-DOS commands:

ATTRIB -R -S -H C:RECYCLED
(removes the readonly, system and hidden attributed of the Recycle Bin)

DELTREE C:RECYCLED
(delete the entire Recycled folder)

Restarting the computer and going into Normal Windows mode will re-create the Recycle Bin.

Another possible problem that can develop with the Recycle Bin is the inability to empty it or to get to its Property page, as described in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;173416
Cannot Empty Recycle Bin or Modify Recycle Bin Properties

If you right click on the Recycle Bin, the Empty Recycle Bin command and/or the Properties command may be unavailable (greyed out.) You might also find that when you delete files, they are permanently deleted rather than being moved to the Recycle Bin. If you have several fixed hard disks on your computer, this problem may affect any one or combination of them. The problem comes about on a particular drive because it is marked to the system as a removable drive, rather than a fixed drive.

To fix this problem, click on the Start button, select Settings, then Control Panel. Open up the System applet and click on the Device Manager tab. Double click the Disk Drives branch of the tree to expand it. Click the hard disk with the problem, then click the button labelled Properties.
Click on the Settings tab, click the Removable check box to clear it.
Click OK, and then click OK. Restart your computer.

It’s probably already made of recycled plastic, and the more you re-recycle plastic the less useful it becomes. Plastic is made of long-chain polymers, but recycling (which involves heating and chopping and grinding) shortens the chains.

At this point it is probably best used as a planter or as a storage bin for the junk you won’t need until after you throw it away.

Make sure you keep your recycling bin on a bottom shelf, or at the base of a mountain so you don’t use up all the gravity. Remember, there’s a gravity shortage.

If you know how to crochet, you can cut plastic bags into loops, connect them together, and use it like yarn to crochet. It makes a pretty cool bag once you attach a handle. You can also crochet strips of old jeans to make a rug. You can probably find patterns for these online.

The Expert answers:

Think out of the box.
Instead focusing on product, focus on customers. Look around you and see what type of customers there are:
Maybe you have retirement village near by, maybe a building site, maybe a busy picnic area, Maybe a church. Obviously there is a school. Maybe there is a shopping centre, a factory?
Do you see where I am getting? Each of these attract different category of people (old, young, tourists, shoppers etc)

Now you can think what you could sell to each group of people.
Fruit salad at retirement village, sandwiches and pies at building site,
Craft at shopping centre, refreshments and craft at picnic site,

This is what entrepreneur does:
You contact recycling agency and find out how much they pay for various recycling items. Then you employ friends to collect recycling material around town and deliver to a “depot”, you pay your “employees” 1/2 the money you will receive from recycling plant.

What just happened?
You help your friends make money, you help environment, and you made money. You made money and did not even work. You got paid for putting deal together.
Because you did your market research you can tell your friends where they can sell their products and charge them commission.
That is what Entrepreneur does. The others are just employees in their own business.

What ever you do keep an open mind and do it. If you make mistake you have one mistake less to your success.

Good luck

The Expert answers:

I like your idea, but there are a few problems you need to address:
First, there is already a major infrastructure in place to recycle plastics and aluminum cans. Even some cartons for milk/juice can be recycled now. What your proposing will take this billion-dollar infrastructure and render it pretty useless – which is okay, if we could easily convert these recycling centers to being recycling other material.
Second, the government simply doesn’t have the balls to propose such a demanding thing from these companies. With the economy in the pits right now (and recession already starting), it would be foolish for them – from an economic point of view – to begin imposing such harsh restrictions on companies. Not to mention they do not have the infrastructure, themselves, to being handling the recycling of their own materials, the way Breweries do.

If it did come in place in say, five years, then the impact on the energy and oil wouldn’t be too large I don’t think. You’d still need to transport the materials back to the store to be refilled, the entire cleaning/refilling process will still consume energy, and even still after some point those glass bottles will become no good and you’ll have to make more – which is much more expensive than today’s aluminum/cartons. Transportation of materials would be about the same here, and I’m sure energy will go down a bit and we would save on materials, I don’t see it being a HUGE difference for such a drastic cost to the economy. Not to mention the public is very lazy.

The Expert answers:

Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for “conventional” waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.[1][2] Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” waste hierarchy, though colloquial usage of “recycling” can also include “reuse”.

“Recyclable materials” or “recyclables” may originate from home, business or industry. They include glass, paper, metal, textiles and plastics. Though analogous, the composting of biodegradable waste—such as food or garden waste—is not typically considered recycling.[2] These materials are either brought to a collection centre or picked-up from the curbside; and sorted, cleaned and reprocessed into new products bound for manufacturing.

To judge the environmental benefits of recycling, the cost of this entire process must be compared to the cost of virgin extraction. In order for recycling to be economically viable, there usually must be a steady supply of recyclates and constant demand for the reprocessed goods; both of which can be stimulated through government legislation.[2]

Meanwhile, critics claim that government mandated recycling wastes more resources than it saves. These critics claim that free market prices, and not politicians, are the most accurate way to determine whether or not any particular type of garbage should be recycled. According to these critics, whenever recycling truly does save resources, the private sector will voluntarily offer people money for their garbage.[3][4]

A) I put this statement with statements such as:

“Some people who breathe develop lung cancer”

well, cell phone use could be linked to brain cancer but at this point so many people use cell phones that it would not be possible to isolate the use of cell phones as primary factor in brain cancer

b) the problem with this statement is that it gives information and pushes the answerer in one direction. By saying no to this question you are saying that you disagree with the possible benefits but does not address any of disadvantaged of a national health insurance program. The question should only be “do you support or not support a national system of health insurance” and then allow for the answerer to explain.

C) similar to part b. The first part of the statement pushes the answerer to say yes. Otherwise they are saying that they don’t care about the environment… The actual question, support of economic incentives for recycling is a secondary issue.

The Expert answers:

Assume that the households trash generation is normally distributed.

Standardize all values so that you can compare them to a standard normal curve by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.

E.g. If X is the variable representing trash generation, it is distributed Normal with a mean of 28 and a standard deviation of 2. X ~ N(28,2).

To standardize it we write (X – 28) / 2 = Z is distributed Normal with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

We need to find the probability that X lies between (27,31) or the probability that Z lies between ( (27-28)/2, (31-28)/2) = (-1/2 , 3/2).

Notice that you have to standardize the interval by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.

To get the probability that Z is in the interval (-1/2, 3/2) you need to look up the Normal CDF chart in your book, or Z table. The probability is the area under the Z curve (or normal (0,1) curve) between -1/2 and 3/2.

You can compute the values using an online applet like the one found here: http://www.uvm.edu/~dhowell/StatPages/More_Stuff/normalcdf.html

There is .3085 area to the left of -1/2 and an area of .9332 to the left of 3/2. That means there is an area of (.9332 – .3085) = .6247 between the values. Thus the probability that a random household is in the interval is .6247.

The Expert answers:

Paper recycling is the process of recovering waste paper and remaking it into new paper products. There are three categories of paper that can be used as feedstocks for making recycled paper: mill broke, pre-consumer waste, and post-consumer waste.[1] Mill broke is paper trimmings and other paper scrap from the manufacture of paper, and is recycled internally in a paper mill. Pre-consumer waste is material that was discarded before it was ready for consumer use. Post-consumer waste is material discarded after consumer use, including OMG (old magazines), OTD (old telephone directories), and RMP (residential mixed paper). Paper suitable for recycling is called “scrap paper”.

While there are differences depending on the specific type of paper being recycled (corrugated fiberboard, newspaper, mixed office waste), recycling processes include the following steps:

Pulping: Adding water and applying mechanical action to separate fibers from each other.
Screening: Using screens, with either slots or holes, to remove contaminants that are larger than pulp fibers.
Centrifugal cleaning: Spinning the pulp slurry in a cleaner causes materials that are more dense than pulp fibers to move outward and be rejected.
Flotation: Passing air bubbles through the pulp slurry, with a surfactant present, causes ink particles to collect with the foam on the surface. By removing contaminated foam, pulp is made brighter. This step is sometimes called deinking.
Kneading or dispersion: Mechanical action is applied to fragment contaminant particles.
Washing: Small particles are removed by passing water through the pulp.
Bleaching: If white paper is desired, bleaching uses peroxides or hydrosulfites to remove color from the pulp.
Papermaking: The clean (and/or bleached) fiber is made into a “new” paper product in the same way that virgin paper is made.
Dissolved air flotation: Process water is cleaned for reuse.
Waste disposal: The unusable material left over, mainly ink, plastics, filler and short fibers, is called sludge. The sludge is buried in a landfill, burned to create energy at the paper mill or used as a fertilizer by local farmers.
In the mid-19th century, there was an increased demand for books and writing material. Up to this time, paper manufacturers had used discarded linen rags for paper, but supply could not keep up with the increased demand. Books were bought at auctions for the purpose of recycling fiber content into new paper, at least in the United Kingdom, by the beginning of the 19th century.[28]

Internationally, about half of all recovered paper comes from converting losses (“pre-consumer” recycling), such as shavings and unsold periodicals; approximately one third comes from household or “post-consumer” waste.[29]

Some statistics on paper consumption:

The average per capita paper use in the USA in 2001 was 700 pounds (318 kg). The average per capita paper use worldwide was 110 pounds (50 kg).[30]
It is estimated that 95% of business information is still stored on paper. [Source: International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) Discussion Paper (IIED, London, September 1996)]
Although paper is traditionally identified with reading and writing, communications has now been replaced by packaging as the single largest category of paper use at 41% of all paper used. [Source: North American Factbook PPI, 1995. (Figures are for 1993)]
115 billion sheets of paper are used annually for personal computers [Source: Worldwatch Institute]. The average daily web user prints 28 pages daily [Source: Gartner group and HP]
Most corrugated fiberboard boxes have over 25% recycled fibers. Some are 100% recycled fiber

The Expert answers:

I’m not sure what the exact question is here because the concept of a “pro” regarding nuclear waste is unfamiliar to me. Let me assume that the nuclear waste being discussed is, in fact, used nuclear fuel that is supposed to be disposed of by the U.S. Government in accordance with the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. This particular nuclear waste is very useful because more than 90% of the potential energy within the fuel is still available to be extracted if the fuel is recycled instead of buried. In my mind that is a huge pro!

The cons of nuclear waste is that perfectly reasonable and calm people become very unreasonable and irrational and frightened when discussing how and where to dispose of or recycle this material. Radiation scares people. Hollywood and the main stream media have done an excellent job of convincing ordinary people that the tiniest amount of radiation will turn somebody into the Hulk, or Spiderman, or give them incurable brain tumors or make them grow a third eye. This is total crap and people should be ashamed of spreading such ridiculous concepts and other people should be ashamed to believe in such blatant fantasies.

A pro of nuclear waste is that it is very easily detected. A radiation meter will pick up very low levels of nuclear waste without much trouble. Unlike lead or arsenic or chromium or other chemicals in the environment that require a laboratory and fancy instruments to detect low levels, a relatively cheap and easy to use radiation meter can be brought just about anywhere to quickly determine if radioactive materials are present in quantities that are immediately hazardous to people or the environment. If you need a lab to detect radioactive materials, the amounts are far too low to cause any immediate harm and probably too low to cause any long term harm, despite what the fear mongers want you to believe.

You are going to be labeled as a fool if you really asked such question to know the fact! But I’m a fan of your questions & answers so far; so I know how intelligent you are. Sure you tried to know our scientific sense I guess. To answer your question, I will say first that an air-conditioner’s job is to suck the air from inside a room by a hole & then it recycle the same air through another hole with metal-filter, passing the air with a touch of several ice-cool pipes—that the mechanism. But a fridge works differently—-it cools the atmosphere of a limited air within a box, i.e. The fridge-compartment. The two machines works differently. No one is the alternative of each others. I laughed at the other answers where they were after cost & expenditures! You’re successful st your attempt!

The Expert answers:

Random thoughts.
Of necessity, we will run out of resources before we run out of dumping sites, because used material goes to the dump.
We should have laws about the prudent use of raw materials, about the need to recycle, about dumping such that the site becomes reusable after some years.

Perhaps people should be allowed only so many dresses or trousers, so much furniture etc. Who can use 100 dresses? Six cars for two people? A house with 10 bedrooms and no children?

We should be looking at the phase before we dump. Rather than dump, superfluous articles should not be bought, you should pay double when buying a new item unless you give the old one away in usable condition for someone else to use or prove that it is worn out and non repairable, things should be recycled, or mended, if you buy an article just because you want a new one, then, you should be obliged to pay the costs of sending your discarded item overseas to the really needy.

The result of my policy ? Drastic drop in consumption , causing a loss of production, causing a loss of jobs, and additionally much less need to dump.

Not to worry ! You will not need so much money because your surpurflous needs have disappeared, you have more time to smell the roses growing on the diminished dump heaps and you will have no money worries, You will not be thumbing your nose at the Jonses as you both have the same things to boast about so you talk to each other rather then boast about your third beach house,

That’s pretty old news–not sure why that paper recycled it now–they decided against that months ago.

The reason why was simple. Most children who are maimed are maimed as a result of one of two things–car accidents or farm accidents.

It’s kinda wild what happens when you try to make one rule to be the law of the land. Everyone gets a sick feeling when they learn that in other countries twelve year olds salvage land mines to earn extra money. No one wants kids who are too young to really understand the risks working in dangerous jobs. However, get OSHA involved and every job is ‘dangerous’, and a desire to prevent sweatshops and the worst versions of capitalism turn into a situation where kids are not allowed to work at all at anything–which is pretty twisted too. So, how do you write a ‘no sweat shops’, ‘kids don’t risk life and limb’ child labor law that will not take kids out of school to support their families, etc., but will still allow them to work afterschool jobs? It’s harder than it sounds.

The Expert answers:

It looks like you’re off to a great start! Without being able to see the formatting of your résumé, I would say you covered the basics. I like that you were able to list all the volunteer and extra curricular activities you were involved in. The fact that you have even put a resume together without having work experience is a huge advantage over other candidates in your situation who don’t bother putting a résumé together.

You may want to move your skills to the top of your résumé and put that you are bilingual in English and Spanish. Often, when recruiters are searching for candidates, they will search “bilingual”. If you put “Bilingual in English and Spanish” it is more likely it will show up in a recruiters’ search results.

The Expert answers:

No, I wouldn’t work with her for a few reasons. #1 You have two different styles of cleaning. She’s the type where as long as it’s “done”, it’s ok to take short cuts. You are the type that take pride in your work and want things to not only get done, but get done right.

Her throwing away paper work (that she doesn’t know if it’s useful or not) and then throwing a dirty knife back in with the clean cutlery. What if you don’t catch it next time and the family uses the dirty utensil and gets sick? What if she messes up and you lose a lot of clients because of it?

I know it’s hard to trust people. However, you can always do a back ground check, a reference check (call the employers, don’t just accept letters of recommendation), drug tests and even a credit check if you so desire. Even if the first person you hire isn’t what you are really looking for, eventually you’ll find the right person. Put a 90 day clause in there (if they don’t work out they will be terminated).

Don’t let your friends get away with stuff that you wouldn’t let your enemies get away with. One of the quickest way to ruin a friendship is by allowing them to do things, only because they are your friend.

Tell your friend in a nice way, that you don’t think this cleaning together is working out and you’ll be hiring someone else. Explain to your friend it’s nothing personal, but you both just have different working styles. If she can’t handle it… Then she wasn’t your friend to begin with. She has admitted to you that she doesn’t have the same work ethic as you. So it should come to no surprise when she’s terminated.

The Expert answers:

You said she is your friend. Friends trust each other and communicate. You have to use better communication to get your standards of cleaning across to her. It is call constructive criticism. Friendships are more important than house cleaning so don’t fire her. The next cleaner could be worse. Just sit down and have a friendly, constructive work talk. Then hug her and say, “See ya later” or whatever. She may have had something on her mind when she put the knife back. Who said, “To error is human. To forgive is divine?”

The Expert answers:

Correct

the bin is just a folder
deleting a file just moves it to the bin

old msdos style delete just blanks the first character of the filename from the filing
system table and releases the disk blocks occupied by the file so other files
can use that space. So even an Emptied bin stills means all the data is untouched
but IS OPEN TO OVERWRITING BY NEW FILES.
That means file recovery programs know the whole name of a file except the first
character. They also know which disk blocks the file was using for its data.
Even if the filing system is erased due to formatting, a Deep Scan can do a
good job of guessing which disk blocks were written together, as they have a
marker inside the data that Chains to the Next block used.

Only a File Shredder application will erase data blocks, or a full diagnostics
program that rewrites every disk sector guarantees file data is gone.

Even that process leaves a trace of previous data and Clever electronics
can scan every data byte in every data block, and GUESS what was previously
written there. That may require dismantling of the drive to gain access to the
internal circuits of the drive.

It is a fact that disk block data will leave a kind of fingerprint in the magnetic
information that previous values can be tracked back over several writes.
This can mean that even a disk thats full formatted and then has a new
operating system loaded, involving one two or three or more writes to specific
disk blocks, can be traced back as Ones and Zeroes so that original file
data can be accurately determined and recreated.
This is a tricky process though and file shredders mix up data enough to make
retracing file data thats properly shredded, almost impossible.
This data retrieval could cost a lot of money, and is usually restricted to one or
two files that are so precious, NOT a whole disk drive.

SCAM and shame of most actual ecologists

they are not sincere. They make use of the fact that nobody knows everything so the can tell people anything in a easy to-believe way. Like i studied genetics and ecology, so that is what i can judge – they talk nonsence, but in a way one can go for it easily – here they hire young students to spread it further, the phrases they were taught. When they are campaigning (like instead of actually doing something) they seem to have been through some training what they should parrot on and on, but never think about it. Always trying to persuade how good and caring they are but whanever i ask for facts, they are lost or cone up with lies – i asked them why they published only fraction of their tests (they didnt like the majority of results, that is why) they replied that the presented figures were mean figures – they were not. They were the figures that they liked only.

I personally think that conservation and ecology should get more attention than it gets and i work in conservation and i am happy that i do that – so i am not biased against “greens”. Right the oposit – i am ashamed that some people take Greenpeace as ecologists. When the newspaper or tv says “the ecologists in our country” i would like these to be the people who teach ecology at universities, not greenpeace.

After i graduated i was looking for a job in conservation and i was naive enough to think of them – i was horrified that i would make living of lying and backed off right away. Since that time i dont take them as truthful. Oh please, dont believe them, go for renowned source of information.
I wouldnt call them independent, no way

they did more for showing off than for real conservation and environment, oh compare them to wwf
they fiddle with statistics and data as they choose – like take their so called surveys – just invalid from scientific point of view – you prove what you want to prove, if you pick up the results that you like and if you dont do a blind test – that is what i was offered to participate in!!! Maybe if i didnt contact them i would have believed them to this day. They predecide on what issues are interesting for them and they are not those that are the most pressing but those that can win them attention. At least here.
Like last time they stopped me in the streat with something about protection of primeval forests, but they were hopeless – of course it would be shameful to exploit primeval forests, so i asked them what company does that and sells here – they said that they were told that paper mills, so i asked them to be specific, they didnt know, but they were told that paper mills… After a lengthy discussion it turned out that the guy was ignorant of true problems in paper recycling and sustainable sources of paper pulp here and actual troubles and environmental consequences of paper industry here – there are some and should have been made public, but they did not talk of it at their trainings, dont care, it is better for them if they say “we are campaigning for primeval forests” it just sounds much better.

I would love if there was organizaton just like greenpecae but sincere and truthful, i would love it beyond anything. The founders must toss in their graves.. (EDIT” THAT S WHAT CONSULTANT TOM WITTNESSED BUT I DIDNT – I AM 33)

btw – look at this and you will get a clue how you truth “mabe in greenpeace” is made : http://www.dhmo.org/
example:
Greenpeace: gmo foods are bad , because antibiotics were used in breeding. So we are supposed to say omg, now i know. But really – if they say “t-shirts are bad because very sharp scissors are used in their manufacture” – you wouldnt go for it, because you know that probably in the manufacture of trousers scissors are used too, but nobody has a clue about how the antibiotics are used in GE and in what quantities and what chemicals are used in agriculture breeding – so we can believe anything. So i ask the girl – when you get antibiotics by prescription, is your pee contained and disposed of in a safe way so that you go to normal toilet ? The answers should be yes if you understood and meant what you just said!!!!
