If it gets hot, could you organize a service that helps elderly and sick people get to “cooling centers,” places with air conditioning where they can stay through the hottest days?

You would basically be coordinating volunteer transportation, with maybe some extra help for the disabled.

Really hot weather can be very dangerous for the elderly and disabled, who frequently cannot afford to pay for air conditioning.

Collect trash, talk to other schools about recycling like younger kids(elementary and middle schools), have recycle bins in every classroom and in the lunch room, make go green t-shirts, make signs and postthem around the school with defferent ways to save water and other things that anyone can simply do at home.

The Expert answers:

If you’re able to start clubs at your school, start a “Mother Earth” club, that’s what I did. I found a teacher to be our sponsor and then we called around and got the garbage companies to donate some recycling cans. BUT before we got the official cans, there were just regular trashcans (with lids) that had little holes in them so that aluminum cans could go into them…later we learned that plastic could also be combined. But we just put up some posters that reminded people to recycle, and then on the trashcan itself (laminated) we had signs that said, “Only cans + plastic bottles”

PLUS, at our school we have an “environmental science” class, so they were a big help and the students in there got a BUNCH of boxes and so in every classroom there’s a box for plastic/aluminum/glass, and one for paper, and this was before we even got the “official” bins…and I’m pretty sure there was a recycling dumpster. ANYWAYS, the kids in that class would come around once a week and recycle everything in the boxes. So, you don’t need to have anything official, I think as long as you’ve got a recycling dumpster (if not, call school’s garbage company, see if they can donate one or give you one for cheaper) then you’ll be just fine.

I hope this helps!

The Expert answers:

First let me say that I think it’s great that you’re thinking of these kinds of issues at your age. Bravo! I think you’re on to something. Washing D.C. (our beloved government) is working on being the first capital in the world to become carbon neutral. I think that all government, state and local governments should recycle. Schools, hospitals, police and fire stations should also be as green as possible. Recycling, the use of the new light bulbs and water conservation should be the law for all public buildings. What’s your next step? Well, I think you should contact your school board, your mayor, state legislature, and all the way to your U.S. Senator and Representatives. DON’T GIVE UP! DON’T GET DISCOURAGED! DON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. I’m proud of you and your idea!!! (all this sounds like a great social studies or science project… what do your parents and teacher think?)

The Expert answers:

Is this a test? The answers are pretty self-evident.

The Expert answers:

What do we recycle? Paper, plastic, cartons, plastic containers, glass, bottles etc. But also household items, and clothing.

Our building (an apartment block) has a system of putting things we no longer want in our laundry room for others to browse through. Got some great finds that way!

We take our clothes to a charity. I like shopping there too.

For garbage, we separate the cartons, bottles, paper and put it (usually every couple of days) into the bins (they are in the lane) and they are collected twice a week.

There is also a compost down the street, but we don’t use that too often as it is not easy to access. It was easier to do this when we had our own yard. Residential recycling in our city is weekly. There is a blue box system for cartons, plastics & bottles. Then a bag for newsprint and a bag for other paper & cardboard.

Good luck!

The Expert answers:

In my town, almost all paper can be recycled. Thus, I keep a basket (fairly large) near where I open mail, and simply toss everything that doesn’t need to be shredded into the basket. Newspapers also go in there, as well as scraps and eligible parts of packaging. When it’s full, my son (supposedly – too often it’s me!) empties the basket into the larger recycling container in the garage that goes out to the curb once a week. Since we started doing this, our regular trash has dropped by about 1/2.

Yes, it’s not advisable to recycle jugs or juice containers with liquid in them. It makes the recycling process one step harder. Yes, if you just drain out the liquid, you can give the containers for recycling. I’m not sure about shredded paper, but you can take a look at the following link on recyclables/non-recyclables:

The Expert answers:

(i) Composting. Using solid remnants of foods (mostly vegetables) to enrich the soil. Composting is a speeded up natural decomposition process by which solid food remnants can be turned into nutritious foods for plants. Many other waste materials can be composted, such as newspapers, non-edible plant parts, etc.

(ii) Study and research new ways to improve recycling technologies… This demonstrates personal interest in reducing the volume of waste beyond what just anybody could do. In that context…

Processing discarded plastic and rubber materials. But not just freshly discarded objects. Process old plastics, lying around dumped as waste or buried in landfills.

There are many ways to process plastic, the most popular being recycling and burning for energy. Recycling is preferential, but requires different plastic types to be sorted, since many different polymers (chemicals) can form a plastic material. Burning is the least favourable option, as it creates a lot of greenhouse gases, and makes all the chemicals go away forever. Also, many plastic materials create toxic by-products while burning, so specialized technologies need to be used.

A good alternative to these approaches is processing plastics in a similar manner as the raw oil is processed, i.e. Cracking or reforming it. Basically, it is a process of exposing molten hydrocarbon-rich plastic waste to elevated temperatures and pressure, which results in large molecules breaking down into simpler, smaller ones. The mixture of chemicals produced in this manner can be fractionated (separated and purified) into useful products — raw materials for the chemical industry, fuels such as gasoline or diesel, building materials etc.

Discarded rubber (and certain types of plastic) can be recycled by shredding; the shredded material can be used as a constituent for some building materials (e.g. Pavements).

Many types of organic waste can be ground to small pieces which, when rotated in special vortex furnaces with heated air jets, can create a slowly burning mixture in which a process takes place known as “pyrolysis”. Pyrolysis, basically, is a decomposition of complex molecules by heat; in this case heat liberated by partially burning the very material being recycled. This process can turn old furniture, plastic, rags, textiles, all kinds of organic waste products into useful chemicals and fuels.

The Expert answers:

My favorite book “The Green Book” has lots of facts with references to back them up. In case you don’t have time to get the book I’ll quote you a few things.

Referring to bottled water, 1.5 tons of plastic are used in bottling 89 billion liters of water each year, and less than 20% of that gets recycled.

The average US home receives 1.5 trees worth of junk mail each year. If every american recycled their junk mail $370 million in landfill dumping fees would be saved each year.

Phone books are recyclable yet they make up almost 10% of the waste in the landfill.

Each year 10 million tons of newspaper are tossed into landfills. If just half was recycled it would save 75 million trees.

Another site to check out is the EPA they have government stats for recycling.

The Expert answers:

Statistics involve numbers. Your example is more of a statement rather than a statistic. You should be able to find many statistics by even searching in Google. There are a lot of eco-friendly organizations out there that quote statistics, and government agencies as well. I suggest that you first learn what a statistic is so you understand what you’re looking for, and then search for environmental statistics.

The Expert answers:

Here’s a general idea. You could have a recycling company and say they recycle paper, plastic, and glass items. Say, for example, on certain days the company recycles x amount of plastic, y amount of paper, and z amount of glass (but make it different for each day). You could turn this into statistics by having the students find the percentage of each type of material the company recycles on a given day, over a monthly period, or in a year.

Yes it’s true. Aluminum cans have the paint on the outside of them. They also have a plastic liner inside (bet you didn’t know that!). Almost nobody knows they have the plastic liner, but they do. So that contaminates the aluminum as well.

The Expert answers:

You are basically asking two different but completely related questions:

1) Exactly what you may, MUST, and should do with the recyclables you put in your bin for monthly pick up depends upon what your solid waste (garbage/recycling company) people say in your area. With only monthly pickup, I would say that both for your own and greater public health (insects and rodents) you are probably required to at least rinse your containers. You are probably required to remove lids and tops from plastic containers; they have a habit of exploding whether in your own bin or off at the facility. I would further suggest that you semi-crush your plastics when possible as they can take up a lot of room. Some areas do take tin food cans where as others do not due to their low re-sale value; I know of one area that will collect the cans but not the lids due to potential worker injury. Likewise, many areas do not collect glass at curb side due to the dangers imposed by broken glass. In terms of plastics, most areas will collect number 1 and number 2 plastic (check for the number inside the recycling triangle, typically on the bottom of plastic containers) but will not collect other types. Paper, mixed paper, light weight cardboard like cereal boxes, and corrugated cardboard also very tremendously from area to area. I know of one area that will only pick up, at curb side, light weight cardboard as other types of paper may blow out of their trucks causing litter, corrugated cardboard is too bulky, and newspaper weighs too much. Most will not accept “soiled” paper into their paper recycling stream like pizza boxes, used paper napkins and paper towels, etc…. Some will accept this into their composting stream and is typically picked up with the yard debris. Speaking of which, some communities are also accepting all sorts of kitchen waste in their composting/yard debris streams now too. Most curb side programs do not include any type of remodeling materials nor metal items. And, most curb side programs have some sort of weight limit on the containers as well. – It all depends upon the rules established by your solid waste pick-up system and community.

Since your folks are only getting once a month pick up service, I would suggest that they begin practicing what I call “garbage or recycling condensing”. In this process, you flatten all of those cereal type boxes, cans, and bottles when possible. In your parents’ case, as they discover what all they can recycle and get into the practice of doing so, it could mean quite a difference by the end of the month. – With only a once per month pick-up, could your parents’ can be primarily for yard waste?

2) What happens when the collected, cleaned, and flattened items leave your parents’ curb side container is a whole other question. In an ideal world the “recycling loop is closed” or, the items go on to be completely and fully used to make some other or additional manufacturing process. In our most real world, most communities and municipalities have a primary goal of reducing their landfill stream in order to prolong the life of their landfill; or reduce the assocated costs of shipping landfill items off to other areas. They are then left, themselves, trying to find places, people, and businesses willing to take certain types of materials in the easiest and cheapest manner possible. In some areas, businesses and/or governement entities step up and generate sorting facilties then find local or distant buyers of the items. Often, one type of item can be actually sold and the proceeds from those sales then pay for the sorting facilities and/or off-set transportation costs and/or off-set the costs for getting rid of other items. Some items can be gotten rid of for free but, the transportation costs must be paid for by the community’s solid waste system. Other items actually cost to get rid of but, for less money than paying for distant landfill space. When a community already has a functioning landfill, it can be difficult to actually pay more to get rid of recyclable items than it would be to simply landfill them; on the other hand, building a new landfill when the current one fills up is a very expensive prospect that often community members are not willing to realize until they are forced to.

You might want to help them understand their local curb side program. Also, check out their local solid waste systems and/or through Earth911 to see what else they have that they can transport themselves for recycling at a lower cost than tossing in their landfill stream. Then work with them on systems that make as much financial as environmental sense. – Also, you might help them get registered with their local freecycle.org chapter. In many communities, recycling saves money for the individual in the immediate.

There are places to recycle newspapers in Orleans and Paoli has a recycling center on the south side by the iron bridge. He takes newspaper, cardboard, junk mail, magazines and more.

The Expert answers:

Experiments in California and Sweden have shown that plants (especially trees) grown in a high CO2 environment come out with stunted growth, malformed leaves, and have shortened lifespans (2-3 years in the case of trees). CO2 in the air that we make when we burn coal, gas, or oil is making the earth get hotter. Everything makes some when it burns, but we burn more of these “fossil fuels” than anything else. It could get too hot for people to live.

Plants convert the carbon that’s in the air as carbon dioxide to the organic (carbon based) material they are made of . They release oxygen when they do this. Without plants, animal life would have never been possible. It took half of the time life has existed on earth for the first plants to come into being. If the plants ever died, the animals would too, including humans.

Recycling is important in many ways. Aluminum is made by a process using electricity. It takes much less electricity to make things out of old aluminum cans, etc, than it would to mine new aluminum ore and make it from scratch. It also decreases the amount of waste in the environment. Plastics are now being recognized as a huge problem. If you reuse something made of plastic even just once it saves a lot. Plastics are made from petroleum, so it helps keep the price down and cuts down pollution. Plastic bags get in the ocean and break down into tiny particles which the fish eat with their food. These build up and poison the fish.

The world is running out of water. Over half of the people don’t have enough. Water sources are drying up. The glaciers on the mountaintops are melting. They supply most of the water for most countries. When they are all melted a lot of people will have no water. Most fresh water that you use never gets used again. It makes it’s way to the sea, then when it gets to the equator a little bit of it evaporates, then a little bit of it may fall as snow way up North. None of it gets back to you. Most of the fresh water that we know about is too far underground where we can’t get it. Most of what we have gets used only one time. Any time you can save or reuse water you are helping the whole planet.

Most of the energy we have comes from power plants that aren’t very “friendly” to the earth. In the USA, most of them are coal burning. That can cause a lot of pollution and more global warming. Some places use nuclear. It is better in some ways, but lots of fossil fuel is used to mine nuclear fuel, and lots of heat is given off when it’s being used. The wastes are very dangerous if they are not disposed of properly. In America none of the States want nuclear waste.

I hope this little bit of information helps you. These are wonderful questions!

Although I’m not a professional, I have asked questions like that for years and have found that many so called eco friendly activities are in fact a double edged sword. Such as you said, recycling paper, not worth it. I’ve heard many-a times about printer ink being cheaper to buy with a new printer then the cartridge itself.

I believe its up to us to learn about how these acts affect our environment and to incorporate those that we are certain are positive into our lifestyles.

A bit off topic, but still important to the cause behind your question I find, read a book called “Cradle 2 Cradle” It insists that recycling is a bandaid on a gaping wound, too little too late. The author believes that rather having companies making products that are “less bad” for the environment, that they should create them “good” for the environment to begin with! With that in mind, a large part of my lifestyle has involved just using “less” Drinking tap water, using less bottles. Biking more, driving less.

A final note here. Should we find the recycling acts that are proven beneficial, you have to remember, strength in numbers. If you pick up a bottle off the ground, yay. Good act, but does it really do anything? But if EVERYONE thought that, well, bottle a day X how many people in an area = Bigger effect then you think. And if not a bottle, then garbage. If not picking up neither, then volunteering. Strength in numbers my friend.

Lengthy answer, but hopefully insightful and helpful nonetheless

The Expert answers:

Energy will be used to turn the recycled material into new usable material, so a small amount of pollution will be caused because of this energy. However this will always be less than the impact of throwing it into landfill and making a new one from raw materials; otherwise it wouldnt be done.

I believe there is a certain type of plastic for which the energy/ pollution used to recycle it is more than is saved, so it is not viable and is classified as non-recyclable

The Expert answers:

Convert the pounds to tons first

1500 (pounds per hour)/2000 (pounds in a ton) = .75 tons per hour

10 (tons to process) / .75 (tons per hour) = 13.33 hours or 13 hours and 20 minutes. The nearest 10th is 13.3 hours.

We could also convert our 10 tons to pounds and work this way.

10 (tons) * 2000 (pounds in a ton) = 20,000 pounds
20,000 (pounds to process) / 1500 (pounds per hour) = 13.34 hours or 13 hours and 20 minutes.

We can check the work:

13.3 hours of processing .75 tons per hour we’d do 13.3 * .75 which is 9.975 (remember, we rounded so this is 10)

so, your formula is

pounds to process / pounds per hour = hours needed
tons to process / tons per hour = hours needed

we just have to remember to use either pounds or tons but we can’t mix them in the same formula. ?

Volcanoes release vast quantities of CO2 and heat and much outgassing of CO2 and methane occurs. There is clearly heat moving from the interior of the earth toward the surface. The problem is that it isn’t that much heat radiated. The soil and rock acts as an insulator and heat consequently doesn’t transfer very fast. You do have some interesting ideas. Those are quicker mechanisms for heat transfer but I don’t think enough.

The Expert answers:

The dumps problem is very prominent here. Until two years ago the situation was very bad, because only a little part of the population did the differentation of the rubbish. All of the garbage went in a dump that was situated near this town. But nowadays this dump is full, so it had to close.
Since then the authorities have had to take emergency measures, because the rubbish problem is very serious: all of the citizens must do the differentation of the rubbish. In this way the garbage which can be recycled is sent to the centre of recycling, while the garbage which can’t be recycled is sent in another special centre. Like this the dumps are less full and this is a very important advantage for the safeguard of the planet. But obviously, unfortunately, there are people who carry on to not respect the law, and throw away the big old objects in the countryside. So I think that the authorities should solve this important problem with new laws which fine all the people who are surprised to throw away everything to pay a very steep fine or to oblige these people to do useful social work, and I think also that they should have to lower the price of the dumps, because this is another reason to induce the people to abandon the rubbish which pollutes the planet.

There are 4R’s to the current “green” movement: Reduce, Recycle, Re-use, and Re-purpose. Whenever you’re trying to come up with an idea, it is a good thing to start large, use the box as a model, and then think out of the box. How many bins do you need? What materials do you plan on collecting? Based upon the materials you plan on collecting, what functions (criteria) must your bins perform?

In terms of “bins”, you can use everything from metal to plastic to cardboard. But, must your bins also be able to be washed? Must they be able to contain fluids (i.e. The left-overs in soda cans)? How big must the be? How do you plan on getting your bin contents to an actual recycling center? (i.e. Do you need double the number of bins or plastic bag liners) In general, old garbage cans work pretty well for larger recycling collections. Towards getting old cans, try person to person networking, free cycle,org, 2good2toss.com, and craigslist.com.

Once you get your potential ideas down, it’s time to do a reality check. Do you have recycling centers in your area that pay for recyclables? If so, what types and how much? Is the recycling effort worth what you will receive in terms of pay? Do you have folks on board to do the transporting of the collected materials?

….There is one recycling idea that may generate some actual cash. First check to find out what types of metal recyclers are in your area, how much they pay, what they will take, how the items must be sorted, how the items must be de-assembled, etc… Second figure out if you can arrange for a collection of pick-up trucks capable for a delivery of metal to the metalrecyclerss. Third, determine what type of folks you have in your area in terms of the amount and type of metal they have laying around. – I find that in this area there a quite a number of folks who have “some metal” laying around their houses. They have more than what they are willing or able to toss into their garbage cans or take to the dump at full landfill prices. Yet, they don’t have enough collected to justify a run to the metalrecyclerss. I would suggest a one day (i.e. Saturday) recycling event on theschooll grounds, or even a parking lot out in the community, at which folks can bring the metal they have hanging around the house. You collect the metal, transport it, and collect the money for it. Or, maybe you can even get a metal recycler to provide a truck, a little labor, and the transport for a piece of the metal’s value.

If you want to think in terms of “green” there are the Reduce, Re-use, and Re-purpose aspects of the movement also. Can you think of some type of product you can quickly and cheaply throw together out of someone else’s discards, a market/demographic to address, and then a market place for them? – One idea are jean’s purses. The rough and dirty version is to: turn a pair of jeans inside out, sew across the legs at the crotch, cut off the legs, turn right side out, add a shoulder strap, optionally add a draw string through the belt loops. These are not the most complete directions, check with the home-ec teacher or a sewer for additional considerations. But, if you have a place to sell them at and each person turns in a pair of old jeans you should be able to make a relatively plain purse with minimal skill in about a half hour. You might start with getting donations but, in this area you can buy jeans for $1-$4 at thrift stores. You may even be able to arrange to have jeans too battered to be sold given to you. Thrift store sheets, linens, curtains and other items can be used for making inexpensive draw strings and/or shoulder straps and/or simple embelishments. The cut-off leg material can also be used to make shoulder straps. What would remain if you use this idea or the sale of some other Re-used or Re-purposed idea is a selling location.

In these trying economic times, if the folks in your community have any money to spend – they are probably looking for something that has value to them and makes them feel good. Getting personal value for your charity dollar does both. One quick and dirty project in terms of time, effort, and money spent in the whole project used to be raking leaves. In this process, you need a willing crew of leaf rakers and rakes. You will need publicity, a couple of set dates (preferably with some lee-way for an extention if you get some serious action), and a way to take leaf raking apppointments. If your group has a way to haul leaves and a free place to get rid of them, you might also consider leaf hauling as well. ALWAYS go in a group of a couple of kids and/or kid and parent groups to rake leaves. ALWAYS ensure that all that come together, leave together. Set your suggested donation value reasonably low and work with your school administration on how/if a tax deduction is available.

The Expert answers:

You have to first have iTunes managing your files as well. This means it will store them all in your My Music folder (under iTunes > iTunes Music). It also means it can delete and rename the files. The Windows version of iTunes doesn’t default to this, as it can confuse multiple media players. If you want to set it up, here’s how:

1. In iTunes, from the “Edit” menu, choose “Preferences”.
2. Click on the “Advanced” tab.
3. Place a check mark in both of these boxes:
a. Keep iTunes Music folder organized.
B. Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library.
4. Click the “OK” button to save your changes.
NOTE: This last step will move all your music files into My Music.
5. From the “Advanced” menu, choose “Consolidate Library”.

Once it finishes, iTunes will be managing the files for your music directly… And whenever you delete you’ll have the “Move this file to the trash” question.

The Expert answers:

In every drive on your pc there is a ‘recycle bin’ hidden folder. So once you delete a file on any drive it goes to the respective recycle bin. The recycle bin on your desktop just shows the collection of each drive’s recycle bin content. Once you delete a file the computer just erases the memory address of the file but the file is still there and can be retrived. Even if you empty recycle bin chances are there the file can be still retrived if you have the suitable software.

But not recycling causes cutting of trees.

The Expert answers:

We were told years ago that recycling would reduce our council tax. Did that happen? No!!! Recycling in real terms cost 2-3 times as much as buying something new. There is too much manual labour costs to make recycling financially viable. So as markets fluctuate and bottom out for recyclible materials expect your council tax to continue rising. Landfill sites may be a problem, but since we no longer have coal fires to burn things in then our governemnt created a problem that they expect us to pay for and to fund a solution.

I agree more people would do it if they were paid for it
