Baby Name Predictions – What will be popular 20 years from now?

Names seem to go in cycles. 20 years ago, Emma, Hannah and Ava were considered stuffy old lady names. They’d been popular when our great-grandmothers were having kids. Now they’ve been recycled and sound new and fresh again. But in 80 years, they’ll be back in the nursing home.

So what will OUR kids by naming their sons and daughters 20-30 years from now?

How long to take a filter to cycle?

Now I have a 5-15 gal in my 20 gal tall.

My buddy fixed the 20-40 gal filter. Both are in the tank. The 5-15 gal is cycled, while the other is starting to recycle.

The whole tank is cycled, thanks to the 5-15 gal filter. but how long before I can take it out and just use the 20-40 gallon filter?

There are 6 corydoras in the tank and that’s all the fish and I don’t know how many plants.

Is there a place in NYC or upstate NY where I can get cash for recycling newspapers, or anything else?

Is there a way that businesses can get cash for recycling?

Im writing a letter to some local coffee and tea shops, urging them to start putting out recycling bins so that customers can recycle the plastic and paper cups after they’re done with their drink. I want to know if theres a cash incentive for the businesses to put out those bins without making them physically have to put cans into recycling machines. Is there a company/business that pays for recyclables by pound?

Do you have any other ideas to help make local businesses *reasonably* “greener”?

**I say reasonably because I just want to start the snowball of recycling within our local businesses, so ideas where the businesses would benefit financially too would be great!

Thank you :]

CASH FOR RECYCLING STATES?

I live in Pa and i believe its one of the states that doesn’t pay ppl for cans that are recycled. What states are on that “list” or group? I have an abundance of cans near my house and the place where i live will actually charge me to recycle them so I figure why not help the environment, have a road trip and return cans for cash.

Thank you

Land Lord pays for garbage, but doesn’t leave enough room to dispose of waste.?

I live in Washington state. In our lease agreement the land lord pays for water, sewer and garbage. We live in a small tri-plex. Our land lord provides one small trash bin and one small recycling bin for all three apartments. This is not enough for 3 households.
To top it off, every time I see the land lord he is always complaining about the garbage bill and how we need to make sure there isn’t too much trash in the bin so he doesn’t get over charged by waste management. I recycle, compost and do my best to reduce the amount of trash my family of 5 puts out. However, every week there is not enough room in the trash can to dispose of our garbage.
It is in our lease that he is paying for garbage, shouldn’t he provide extra bins or even a dumpster for all of his units so that we have adequate trash removal, or at least stop harassing his tenants about the garbage bill?

Ok, I am a recycling virgin, what do I need to know?

Do they need to be rinsed out?
Can anything with the recycle triangle be recycled?

I had other questions, but cannot remember them now (gofigure!) Any other advice or guidelines to follow will help. Thanks!

Can the King of Trees, Aal Maras, the Aswatha Vrikshas absorb harmful radiations from nuclear waste to give O3?

Can the King of Trees, Aal Maras, the Arayals, the Bodhi Vrikshas or the Aswatha Vrikshas as depicted in Sanathan Dharma, absorb harmful radiations from nuclear waste and recycle that into Ozone, the shield to protect the colourfulness of Earth. Is this the reason the Temples maintain Arayaals and Aaltharas ? When an Arayal falls it is given high respect in funerals as per Hindu Traditions. Can the old malayalam proverb “Arayil oru Aal Kilirthhal…. ” has got some connections with radiation waste management thru Green Peace Way ?

Can Arayals planted around the nuclear waste septic tanks can reduce the risk of harmful radiation leakages or rather recycling of radiation leakages for a better cause of producing ozone more in Nature. What are your thoughts ?

Hi!, i am very concerned about the enviorment and do everything (literally) to help our planet. I buy eco~friendly products, etc. Well i used to live in an apartment and we recycled only, this one lady took everything to the drop off centers. Well now we moved and we dont have like those blue bins for recyclng, well i dont wannna drop things off because it’s either to far away or i don’t have time. So is their any way we can maybe order the bins or something? (free) ? Plzz i really care for our planet. And i hate the fact that i cant recycle! =( Any Info Or Websites on how to possibly get the blue bins. Plzz And Thx!

I’m Trying to Promote the Recycling of Styrofoam Cafeteria Trays at my School…?

I really appreciate it =]

Why are British people afraid of recycling…?

With oil reserves dwindling and the prices sky rocketing, people still would rather have the convience of constant rubbish collection and landfills than re-use materials.
They would rather waste electricity on extracting Bauxite for aluminium than the cheaper option of recycling cans.

Surely the excuses that they generate too much rubbish for a fortnight for the two bins is ridiculous, surely the ignorance to the fact that two different collectors are required for each and most rubbish is recycable in some sense.

When it’s cheaper to recycle, why are people still tied to the lazy habits that will only drive up inflation?

Forget about global warming conspiracies this is just good economic sense.
Since when was it “hippy ” to save money from inefficency and waste. Since when was lower prices and saving money at the cost of zero jobs such a bad idea.

If anything it’s sensible and informed.

Expecting “Someone will do it for us” is the height of ignorance IMO

I think the pedantic sides of both the right and left have sold out “making a difference” in order to “talk a difference” and they’ve gotten nothing more than the echo they don’t even deserve.

Do you care about global warming?

I have enough problems in my life to worry about it. Sure, I’m all for the planet and recycling etc. but the fact is I’ll be long dead before I have to worry about it. There’s not much I can do anyway, it’s a by-product of a capitalist and greedy society.
And I’m not having kids, why would I want to contribute to overpopulation as well?

why aren’t all products/materials sold to consumers renewable and recyclable?

I’m doing a project and need to know why that can’t produce more efficient and renewable means to making things? Where can I go to find out why they don’t? Is it for cost reasons? Or is the fact of us not recycling a multi billion $ industry? What site can I go on to find out such info. Thanks.

How do I permanently delete stuff that isn’t totally gone despite the fact that I emptied my recycling bin?

I was doing a bunch of virus scans lately, and I was bored enough to sit and watch through nearly the entire 1.75 hour of the scan……

And to my great annoyance, a great deal of the time was spent scanning garbage I deleted and emptied from my recycling bin AGES ago……..some of them…..embarassing and pretty private to say the least (we all have those dark secrets don’t we? when we were young…and lose bets…)….

Aannyways, is there any SAFE, and FREE program or method that I can use to PERMANENTLY destroy all the lingering stuff that I emptied from my Recycling Bin yet still remains for some reason??

PS- WHY!? How come a lot of those old….unwanted files still lingering there even after I deleted them? What’s the bloody point?! Is that the reason why my computer has been slowing down through the years?!
PS- the things I want to get rid of are aready deleted and emptied…..but they’re still there, it’s THOSE data I wanna delete….not stuff I haven’t deleted yet.

How do they recycle furniture?

I heard that environmental companies now recycle (not reuse but RECYCLE) furniture. I know for a fact that wood can be transformed into energy, but what about leather and other material? How do they recycle furniture?
As my question specifically specify, we are NOT talking about reusing it BUT RECYCLING it. Recovering furniture is NOT recycling.

Why there’s no RECYCLE bin in kindergarden / school/ collage / university across malaysai?

Coz there’s not much Recycle bin accross malaysia??? or we r not educated to do so, so no one care at all?? ………………… if not all this, then whats wrong??? ………..

Why is it that questions here about the quantitative effectiveness of recycling programs rarely get answers?

There seems to be a great deal of enthusiasm towards recycling in this particular Y.A. forum. But it seems that whenever someone raises the topic of whether recyclables collected ever get purchased or utilized by manufacturers, replies are either absent or they basically rewrite the question and answer that one instead. I (and apparently many others) would simply like to know the facts of how much of the recyclables collected end up in conventional landfills or incinerators. Obviously, valuable items like aluminum cans always have takers. But during the current recession, does ANYBODY utilize much of the mixed plastics and even non-newsprint paper that is collected for recycling?

[It seems like there is an assumption here that simply collecting a lot of recyclables so that they avoid the trash bin (in a second and very expensive municipal collection system that keeps many trucks and employees busy) is somehow a victory in itself. But I just don’t read within the mainstream media — or in Yahoo Answers — much mention of factual studies which analyze the efficiencies of recycling programs. I’m sure that there are many of us who simply would like to know if these expensive programs actually lead to the assumed goal of re-use of the raw materials represented. If recycling indeed makes good sense, surely there should be analytical evidence to support it.]

What can cities do with garbage that can’t be recycled or composted?

This means things like garbage bags, other plastic items and unfortunately I can’t think of anything else. I’m ‘making’ a Green City for an assignment and I know that even though people will try to reduce the amount of products that cannot be recycled or composted, there will still be a little, right. Well what can a Green City do with that type of garbage that’s environmentally friendly?

And can you give me more examples besides garbage bags and other plastic items that I can use as examples in my assignment? lol

Apartment storage solutions? for garbage and bikes?

The apartment we live in is a decent size but theres nowhere for storage in it. We have no garbage bin outside to put our garbage in, so when our garbage bags are full we have to keep them in our apartment, so they just lie there in our kitchen and stink up. Same with recyclables, our blue bags just lay there in a corner in our kitchen being an eye sore until recycling day ( every 2 weeks.. it rotates). And we have like bikes and stuff and nowhere to put them. Along with any other junk that we’re not using at present time – no where to put it. We have one closet other than the ones in our bedroom, and our shoes and coats go in it. So if anyone else is in the same situation what did you do? or what would you do?

punjabis in my flats wont take out the garbage. what is going on?

in my block there are 12 flats. in seven of those 12 single bedroom flats live punjabi families or in some cases groups of single people staying together somehow.

always i have found them to be polite and seemingly gentle to your face. and i have been friendly to them and visited one of the houses for some chai a while back. those have moved out though.

anyway, for a very long time, when ever it is rubbish bin night, many bins are not taken out, and then when they are taken out there are many that are left for days on the nice grass nature strip in front of our flat.

at one time there were about five bins that were full to overflowing that were not being taken out. it got to the point where me and one other white guy in the flats had to organise the overflow and take out the bins.

this guy thinks that the punjabis look down on the white people and think that it is our duty to clean up after them – because of their concept of a class system. i’m not sure about that, but i am sick of these guys not sorting their bins out.

one issue is that this guy is a strange fellow and has a system of keeping water in recycled bottles – about 300 – out the back of our block so he can water plants he rescues from hard rubbish. he also has an old car on the property that he has covered in tarps, and is filled with aluminium pots and pans that he finds for recycling.

so i thought maybe the punjabis don’t see that he has a system of organising this stuff and just think that it is normal to leave rubbish everywhere – ie 5 garbage bags of styrofoam from new electronics were left up the back of the flats near the bottles.

i am going to start speaking to each of them when i see them and tell them to sort it out. what do you think?

My garbage company says they go through all the bags and pull out the recyclables….?

Is this true? So I really don’t need to recycle anything, because they already do it? I am in California, and I do take in all my glass bottles and soda cans for the money, but when I took in bags of other recyclables, they said they didn’t take them because they go through all the garbage and pick out the recyclables??

Is it legal for an apartment complex to go through your garbage?

They went through the garbage that I threw in the dumpster, obviously read the mail inside the bag to identify the garbage as mine, and then left a note under my door complaining about its contents.

(if your wondering, they didn’t think I was doing a good enough job recycling).

Is this legal? I feel like my privacy has been invaded and I am not comfortable with this at all. Is this grounds to legally break my lease? I don’t feel comfortable living in a place that is invasive like this.

Thanks.

Please help me proofread the following paragraph ..thanks ..Part II?

For environment concern, this is designed to separate the waste oil and chips fluid. Once the waste oil and chips fluid are separated, the odd smelling will disappear shortly and then the fluid can be recycled and used for machining operation.

Can you please translate this text into French(human translations only).?

Reduce, reuse, recycle is the motto of those who wish to reduce the rate at which we are using up our vital resources. Some resources are renewable meaning that we can replace them easily. For example trees produce wood that can be used for buildings, furniture, paper and fuel. Trees can be replaced when we plant new trees. On the other hand, most buildings are constructed using non-renewable resources such as concrete, steel and glass. These are examples of large scale use of resources but significant savings are made if lots of people take care of the little things in their everyday lives. We can reduce the use of fuel by walking to school, by putting on a jumper instead of using central heating and taking a shower which uses less hot water than a bath. We can reduce the use of packaging by buying items sold without wrapping and by re-using carrier bags or investing in shopping baskets. We can reduce the amount of waste that we put into the environment by never buying more than we need and by recycling not just metals, plastic and glass but clothes and shoes, fabrics, oil, batteries and electrical equipment.

Our personalities mix about as well as oil and water. Although she is breathtakingly beautiful, witty, articulate and intelligent she is also very dominating and manipulative… she is freakishly high-strung, emotional and passionate about certain things (she’s been known to go off on her roommates hardcore — to the point of yelling and humiliating — about recycling, wasting energy, homosexual rights [she’s had girlfriends before], liberal politics, etc). I’m quiet, and fairly passive, but I’m also very politically opinionated — I’m a libertarian — and she doesn’t like being disagreed with.

In short she’d be the perfect woman if she wasn’t such a total jackass.

Should I get in a relationship with this otherwise divine ****** if we are both at least a little bit already in love?.

Are there any first edition Toyota Prius’ still running?

My car was built in 1972 and is still running fine, therefore it’s only environmental impact for the last 40 years has been a few sets of brakes, tyres and fuel of course. The steel components have all been recycled, as has waste oil.
Compared to the modern Prius – how long do they last – and is the constant manufacturing of a vehicle every 10 years more wasteful than one car lasting 40 years?

The prius first came out in 1997 – so are any still running 15 years on without major overhaul of replacing half the weight and cost of the car?

Who has more power to change the world? The consumer or the worker? And why?

So often we hear “Dont shop at Walmart”, “Dont drive SUV’s” “Be vegan or vegetarian” “Dont waste plastic, recycle”. There are people that think that through individual lifestyle choices, the world will change. If you become a vegan, youre not adding on to environmental degredation or animal cruelty, right? Or so it seems. If you dont drive a gas guzzling SUV, then youre not supporting the oil companies right?
I happen to believe that a fundamental change in the way society works these days doesnt come from the consumer, but from the worker. For through the toil of the worker, profit is accumulated. The drive for profit is what causes environmental degredation, animal cruelty, and much worse things like imperialist wars, genocide, and so on. Telling the consumer to change their lifestyle just glosses over the top purveyor of world destabilization, which is the ruling class.
Add your own imput please.

When what you do for living comprises your morality what do you do?

What do you when what you do for a living compromises your morality?
I’m an office manager at a recycling center. I joined the industry a year ago.
Like many others in the sagging economy, I was down and out and had just about given up on hope. In many ways recycling saved me.

It’s taken me a year to learn that the word recycling, is synonymous with legal dumping for profit. Granted allot of materials (e.g aluminum cans, steel) sold/delivered to recycling centers are disposed of properly, a great deal (electronic waste, sealed units) are not.

The majority of the profit made by electronic waste recyclers is the the profit made off dumping hazardous materials on China. Every time we ship a load of sealed units (e.g.enclosed refrigerator compressors w/ oil) to China I want to throw. What are the Chinese doing with that oil on the other end?

Electronic waste is by far the most hazardous threat to the environment. The precious metals used to create cell phones, circuit boards, microprocessors, are gold mines for recyclers. However, the the equipment, manpower, and specialized high priced labor is expensive.

Better to sell the materials to China so we don’t get our hands dirty. Chinese entrepeneurs throw ridicoulsy high numbers out to win the material because the cost to “process” the waste is low and the return is high.

The real problem is most of the materials are properly processed at all. American businesses may spend ($5,000-$10,000) an hour when operating high technological equipment to recycle circuit boards.

it only cost the Chinese businessman 2-5 bucks an hour to have some poverty stricken elderly women to recover preicoius metal. No need for the proper equipment. In she sits there is some God forsaken poverty stricken village, and “Burns” the plastic off of the circuit boards to haphazardly recover the gold.

Then rest of the lead and cadium filled hazardous material is thrown on top of the villages open trash heap. The real irony is e-waste delivered to recycling centers probably does more harm to the environment.Whats does more damage? Hazardous waste dumped in American landfills that are regulated by laws, or the open uncontrolled burning chlorinated of plastics?

Its disgusting to think that kids in these areas have high levels lead in their blood and pregnancies are 7 times more likely to end in miscarriages. What are we really doing? I’m torn I don’t know what to do, but I feel like I should try to do something.

please please help with these questions?

1) Americans throw out 2 million bottled waters per day. Only 20% of those bottles get recycled. How many bottles of water would end up in a landfill in a year?
2) If 50% of all bottled water was to be reused by using tap water then how much landfill space will be saved per year if the volume of a bottled water is 400 cm3 but when compacted at the landfill it reduces the volume of the water by 50%?
3) It takes 1.5 million barrels of oil to make water bottles per year. If only 20% of all bottled water is recycled. A barrel of oil costs $100. How much money is wasted by not recycling per year?
