I would say that first, you have to show them why they need to change with statistics and then proceed by example and tell them and if possible show them that “you” are environmentally responsible in your personal life. Leading by example is always a good way to show anyone what you are trying to say or do. Plus the fact, that if they are concerned whatsoever, then what you have to say and offer would require them to take a listen to you whether they comply or not is up to them.

The Expert answers:

Many cities have regulations about the number of garage sales a family can have in a year. It’s usually like once every three or four months. So call the city code enforcement, and leave an anonymous tip about the sales.

As for the ticket, call the police department and talk to the chief. Explain the situation, and mention that it’s stuff like this that gives all police a bad name. Be sure to mention the fact that the place looks trashy because of all the garage sales, and the litter, and the ads.

I don’t think that you can do anything about someone going through the recycling, other than complain to the waste disposal company. In most areas, once you put out trash and recycling, it’s legal for someone else to go through it, as long as they don’t cause a mess. The waste disposal company, however, wants to make money off the recyclables, so they might be interested in what’s happening.

You would not need a lawyer for this situation as an attorney fees would far exceed the amount you would be awarded if you prevailed in a court of law.

If you so desire you might consider taking your former landlord to small claims court. My concern if you decide to take your landlord to small claims court would be that you failed to obtain a written contract when she lowered the rent and verbally told you to pay half the rent.

If you have a witness or two then you might be able to present a case on your behalf that might cause you to prevail.

Even if you are successful, you would still have to find a way of collecting.

For tax and legal matters you should contact your tax consultant and attorney.

I hope this has been of some benefit to you,good luck.

Any odd behavior is typically a sign of viruses. No names come to mind, but there are some viruses that happen to ‘waste’ hard drive space in various ways, either as a side effect or as their primary function.

If your scanner doesn’t reveal any virus, then it might be a *rootkit*, a virus designed to hide itself by hijacking the OS. You’ll have to use a bootable rescue disc to get rid of these, like one offered by Kaspersky. Download it on a clean computer, burn it to CD, and use it to boot your machine.

1. Refer to the data above. What are the overhead rates used to apply material handling (MH) and storage costs (SC) using activity-based costing?
MH is based on total batches. 105,000 / (200 + 150) = $300
SC is based on total weight. Each unit of dog food is 40 lbs. And each unit of cat food is 1/2 pound. 820,000 / [(100,000 x 40) + (200,000 x 1/2)] = $0.20

B. MH $300/batch; SC $.20/lb.

2. Refer to the data above. How much overhead cost will be assigned to each product line using activity-based costing (ABC)?
Dog Food: (200 x $300) + (4,000,000 x $0.20) = 860,000
Cat Food: (150 x $300) + (100,000 x $0.20) = 65,000

B. Dog Food: $860,000; Cat Food: $65,000.
3. Refer to the data above. How much overhead cost will be assigned to each unit of product using activity-based costing (ABC)?
Dog Food: 860,000 / 100,000 Units = $8.60
Cat Food: 65,000 / 200,000 Units = $0.33

C. Dog Food: $8.60; Cat Food: $0.33.

This is a bone of contention for me cos’ when I lived in Devon you had the black bin for household waste and a green bag for everything recyclable, It works and it’s fantastic.
Now I live in Yorkshire and we have the black bin and a green bin for garden waste and a small tub for bottles…and that is it.

Why can’t the councils stick to the same rules, provide decent recycling facilities and regular pick-ups?

The Expert answers:

I have a bin for non-recyclable waste (which we hardly use), one for garden waste that we ALWAYS fill, a crate for cans and glass, a sack for recycling paper and a sack for recycling cardboard. It would have to be a HUGE bin to accommodate compartments for all of them and would require refuse collection trucks with a huge number of compartments.

At present the council collects non-recyclable waste every week (using one truck) and a selection of recycling every week (half one week and half the next), using a separate truck for garden waste and one for other recyclables. Having a single bin would be extremely unhelpful for me and the council.

The council do not have to sort out my rubbish because it goes in separate containers and I don’t have to sort it because I never mix it up in the first place. It works well here in mid-Essex and is easy for everyone, provided you have room for all the containers.

The Expert answers:

I’m not sure about where you live but my cuz lives in a multifloor place that has a garbage shoot. They still put garbage in the shoot. But they now have large recycle bins next to each shoot. They have also converted a space next to the elevator for freebies. Folks put their unwanted useful items (clothes, furniture, appliances) there for anyone that wants them. The cleaning staff periodically clears them all out and sends what doesn’t get taken to a local charity.

The Expert answers:

It depends on which method you are talking about and the end use of the water. For drinking water they are strictly monitored. For industrial reuse, you try to balance cost and quality so you can have problems.

No one builds waste recycling plants in a “neighborhood”. The smell would be atrocious, and no matter if you were an environmentalist or not I imagine most people would be against it.

But taking your question in its context you bring up a good point about liberalism. What is good for everyone else is many times not good for the liberal. I imagine that the same people who preach recycling would be against the plant.

The Expert answers:

I bought a caddy and a compost bin with a council discount. That caddy is used for my compost bin.

We have a wheelie bin for garden and kitchen waste. I bought another caddy to put the animal and fish bones and skin into, wrapped in newspaper. So far it hasn’t been a problem for me, but then I don’t have much kitchen waste to go into the wheelie bin. I imagine some people could have a problem if they don’t have there own garden compost bin.

If you deal with kitchen waste before any flies have had a chance to get at it, and make sure the lid is kept firmly closed, the worst thing you’ll have is a smelly caddy to clean after emptying. That is made easier if you are allowed to wrap in newspaper or use a paper bag or caddy liner

If you look on your council’s web site, under environment or recycling you will probably find more advice on there.

I think we are the first state to initiate pre paying for our e-waste. I see that NY has a free e-waste program in some cities but it is only for specific household items like tv’s and PC equipment that is under 5 lbs. Everything else has a fee.

Unfortunately many people are unaware that these items contain toxins and are hazardous waste. I like the program, my husband is a programmer and replaces equipment more often than the average user, we used to keep things piled up in a back office, to save up for the occasional free drop off, now we prepay and have many drop off locations.

The Expert answers:

The reason is that it makes it clear (no pun intended) as to what is in the bags. Thereby ensuring that trash is not being collected as recyclable materials. It becomes costly if garbage has to be separated from the recyclables and disposed of in the proper way. This would diminish the whole program.

They are all right. USA is one of the biggest consumers of materials but does not recycle those materials. They just dump it on developing countries in order for those countries to use it. But of course, developing countries are still civilized! They still know how to recycle and dispose garbage properly. Don’t you ever think developing countries are just dumping, they are doing something about it. You are somehow discriminating developing countries.

The Expert answers:

Americans go through 70 million plastic bottles a day, from water alone. While the bottles are recyclable, 60 million end up in the garbage every day, meaning they help fill in our landfills, and on top of all of that, plastic is made from petroleum products, and energy is used in the manufacture process.

Just drink from the tap; unless you’ve had recent lead or sewage contamination warnings on your municipal water supply, it’s orders of magnitude cheaper, and much less environmentally harmful. If the taste really bothers you, a filter will take care of that. If you need portability, get a big water bottle that you can fill from the tap.

I looked up the site for the county that you live in and I found that each precinct has their own recycling centers with different times. Not sure if this is the site that you checked out. It is the first link I posted. It looks like within your county, these may be the only centers available.

If these are the centers you said were far from your home, you may want to collect the recyclable items in plastic bags and take them once every week, two weeks, etc. By you doing this, you are helping out the environment, as well making others aware that maybe a recycling center should be placed closer to your home. I’m not sure if you have neighborhood associations, but you may want to create awareness by talking with neighbors about it. It will help by bringing it to the attention of higher authorities.

You may also want to check local grocery stores, since sometimes they have mini recycling centers usually by the parking lot areas (not sure how large the city you live in is).

The second link may answer a few more of your questions regarding compost, and the third link provides information about creating your own compost bin (you need to create a password to enter).

Lastly, you can definitely recycle shaving cream cans, even though you may not be able to open them (just maks sure you have taken out/used up all you can). I hope this info helps.

The Expert answers:

Its pretty much just plastic bottles that can be recycled, even if it is recyclable most counclis will still only accept bottles.

The sybol you have to look out for is a triangle with a number in it. The numbers correspont to specific polymers and the recycling process currently predominantly recycles types 1, 2 and 3. Sometimes you will find letters too which are abreviations for the plastic name.

The 1, 2 and 3 plastics melt in the recycling process whereas numbers 4-7 burn and so ruin the process which is why trays, pots and boxes are often not accepted. Hopefully new techniques will be developed soon to be able to recycle more plastics.

Definately put out plastic bottles and if you can see the numbers 1, 2 or 3 give it a go as well. It might be best to check on your councils website as they will give you more detailed info

The Expert answers:

There are about a dozen different types of plastic, and each one can be recycled – but only if the area you live in has the facilities.

The large (and a lot of the small) drinks bottles are PETE and have a ‘1’ in the recycling sign somewhere on the bottle – usually near the bottom. In North Devon these are acceptable for recycling. Some other bottles are also PETE, as is some ordinary packaging. They should also have the identification on the plastic somewhere.

Plastic milk bottles and some washing and dishwasher powder bottles are HDPE, and have a ‘2’ in the recycling sign somewhere. HDPE is usually a milky ‘white’, but is sometimes solidly white and occasionally coloured. Again NDCC will take these.

If in doubt go by the sign on the packaging ONLY.

Recycling waste water is important because:
*It reduces water demand for purposes other than drinking
*It prevents pollution of water bodies
*It reduces the cost of production of drinking water
*It reduces consumption of electrical energy for treatment, transportation and distribution of water to the community
*It paves way for safe ground water recharging
*It helps to sustain healthy living conditions
*It reduces degradation of environmental conditions

Well….since marketing your product is the only way your going to get customers…and getting customers is the most important thing that you need to accomplish, my thought is that putting a “minimal” investment into your marketing is not so smart.

The best methods of marketing cost some money…”Free” marketing …well you get what you pay for.

WHat you need then is “Efficient” use of your marketing budget….so, spending that money on methods that get your message out just just anyone and everyone, is not efficient. You need to get in front of the specific people who are going to buy your product.

The only way to do that is through Direct Mail.

When your target market is highly specific, and your offer is jaw dropping…then Direct Mail becomes superior to every other advertising mechanism out there.

Good Luck in your ventures!

BLACK WATER
If it was straight onto the food production it can transmit diseases or parasites etc.and contaminates the produce

But not if it was filtered ,
in the Permaculture designer Manual you will find detailed drawings on how to build sewage (black water filters ,

From another tank

the water goes in a pipe coming in from the bottom of a small dam or large container pushing its way up through ,stones ,then gravel followed by sand ,
aquatic plants on the top complete the filter (to remove metals).

Black water irrigation

How ever black water straight contains to many organisms to be ever safe
like they do around Mexico city
I once stayed in a village which got their vegetables from this agriculture .
The people washed their potatoes in detergent ,ridiculous (potatoes are absorbent )
and more than half of the village was sick with stomach complaints ,(according to the doctors)

So that is not a recommendation ,
In China they use what is called night soil ,
human excrement straight on top of the lands
the place stinks and many people get sick.

Excrement has to be filtered and go through a composting process before it is safe to grow food .

In our garden the sewage goes into a double tank ,separated by a wall with a connecting opening at the bottom,the poop floats and remains in the first tank where it decomposes that over flows into a french drain (covered ditch filled with stones)which acts like an absorbent filter ,one can safely plant fruit trees on top .

What is even enough for the sewage is a long french drain with some parts that have no rocks ,
but with islands of bricks (for the worms to escape the water )and the worms will take care of the poop
again fruit trees can be planted on top

GREY WATER
Grey water from a normal house hold should be separated from the sewage waters (to make that less)
And can go straight out of the wall into the garden
I have grown beautiful healthy tomatoes on my laundry water
and that had detergent
the shower water and the hand basins is much less harm full.
This will make the plumbing simpler and cheaper

For the kitchen use a grease trap
a little cement box with a filter and an over flow ,
because it is ugly and can start to smell if a lot goes out

The Expert answers:

It is very realistic. Many people are already doing it. Search the internet for graywater systems. If you want to recycle your water, make sure not to use toxic chemicals such as bleach, petroleum based solvents, and phosphate detergents for cleaning. Actually, no one should be using these things, since they come back to us in the form of pollution.

Ultimately, the earth is a closed system where water is concerned, so all water gets recycled. We get to decide whether it comes back clean and usable or polluted and unusable.

If you live within the confines of a city in the US…
Any city.
They will have a thing called a wastewater treatment plant….. They are payed (And trained) to do this……….

The Expert answers:

Oil field trash is correct – it depends on a lot of things.

Here’s my take – one big consideration for whether the wastewater can be recycled back into the plant is whether or not the wastewater is considered “hazardous waste” – at least in the US. You might aware that that hazardous waste is a subset of solid waste – and that “solid waste” can include aqueous wastes – the term “solid” has nothing at all to do with the phase of a substance – “solid wastes” can be solids, liquids, or even gases.

Now, non-hazardous wastewater, or efluent from hazardous wastewater treamtent that is not hazardous anymore, may be used for potentially any number of things – e.g., cooling water for various industrial processes, feed water, and I even heard of one company proposing to re-use their wastewater for fire control systems – in that last case, we were quite concerned as to whether or not the wastewater was hazardous or not. If they used hazardous wastewater for fire control – they could get in trouble for disposal of hazardous waste without a permit – big time fines.
.
Anyway, anywhere water would be needed is a potential application, depending on the quality of water needed.

You could seperate the recycle bins into four different bins, one for the senior class, the juniors, the sophomores, and the freshman. Each month or so you can see who has collected the most cans, and award them with some kind of prize. Whether it be a pizza party, candy, extra time at lunch, something that will make them want to get involved. Or you could do an individual thing and have students recycle their cans or bottles for raffle tickets. Have a raffle twice a month or whatever the school chooses. Draw 10-15 tickets (more or less depending on how many students there are) and if your tickets drawn you get a prize. Maybe candy, or a movie gift certificate, or fast food gift certificates. Or even better, if teacher’s want to get involved, maybe they would be willing to give out homework passes for the raffle…that would make a high schooler want to get involved. 😉 Best of Luck!

Depends on the size you are after and how good you want it to look. Lol. Most good shops now sell recycling bins/ containers (over here in the UK) you can usually get one starting around £10 or so. Surely your school would have suppliers that they could by from. That way they will be slightly discouted especially buying in bulk

Do you have Family & Consumer Science at you school? (once called Home Ec.) They have an organization called FCCLA (Family, Career, Community Leaders of America… Once FHA). They hold competitions in regards to the environment. If you have this organization at your school, you should talk to the teacher. She may have ideas.

Maybe you should make your organization known. Get members, take advantage of the media (school newspaper, school news, announcements, local paper, etc) to get people aware of your program. Make sure everyone from the school faculty, students, to even the community know about your organization…

Tips:
involve the animal shelter
do can competitions
plant trees and flowers around your school

For you fundraising ideas, you might try to get some of the musicians in your school to throw a Sustainability Benefit. Look to LiveEarth as an example of what can be done:

www.liveearth.org

These concerts connected over 1/3 of the world’s population over a period of 24 hours, and the recycling team that supported these shows had an average of 92% waste stream diversion from landfills.

Check with this company for inspiration/advice. The President and VP are friends of mine, and they would love to know that younger generations are taking up the torch.

Well, I’m not an expert, but I’m involved in environment since I’m a kid, so yeah.

1) Because it generally reduce the amount of energy involved in the production process since you don’t have extract the resource. It also bring us the resources without we having to extract new ones.

2) It don’t positively effect our environment, it is wrong to say that. But it reduces our impact on the environment because, as I said earlier, we don’t need to extract new resources and we save a little energy in the transformation process.

Well, you got also to take in mind that this is only theory. It’s not recycling that will really reduce the amount of resources extracted, the companies have also to change their production and not just add new production with the recycled products.

3) There is no right way. You just got to talk with people that don’t recycle. Your friends, your family. That’s more a social thing.

4) My company do, but I don’t think that matters really much.

5) Of course. The key is to put recycle bins at the most place people are trowing recycled stuffs. Cuz if the bin is not close to them, they will trow it somewhere else.

6) It depend in what country. Here in Canada, I think we reached almost the maximum of popularization about recycling. The next step is political acting. We got to give time and material to people so they could recycle more easily. Ultimately, I think we couldn’t recycle enough if our system don’t change.

Hmmmm. This is a good question and I can see that the website you referenced is not giving you the exact answer you’re looking for (good site by the way).

The closest I could get to answering your question is this:

“The aluminium recycling industry recycles all the aluminium scrap it can obtain from end-of-life products and aluminium by-products. The rate at which end-of-life aluminium is recycled varies depending on the product sector, scrap processing technology and on society’s commitment to collect aluminium containing products at end-of-life. Each application sector requires its own recycling solutions and the industry supports initiatives that seek to optimise the recycling rate.”

It’s hard to know the % of all cans because you would literally have to know which companies are utilizing the recycled aluminum.

I look forward to reading more answers!

The Expert answers:

They tell you to remove the cap because if you leave it on, the bottle is full of air and will resist the steel drums that are supposed to crush the recyclables until the plastic bursts, at which point the steel drums would slam together suddenly potentially damaging the drums. They said the same thing about kitchen garbage compressors and even with regular garbage pickup as the garbage truck includes a hydraulic compression plate that can be damaged by the pop bottles bursting. This is also why they tell you to collapse cardboard boxes in both trash and recyclable collection, the boxes are amazingly strong till they collapse and it’s the sudden collapse that can cause damage to the equipment.

There are two forms of modern single stream recycling.

The preferred one is where all items are crushed or rather pressed between two steel drums then chopped at various angles, magnets are used to remove the steel pieces, the rest get dropped through a cross flow airstream so that they get deflected into various bins by their density, this is repeated several times, then then pieces are dropped one by one while lasers measure it’s spectral response to identify the material and puffs of air direct the piece to an appropriate bin, again this is repeated several times, then the sorted pieces are sold off as raw material.

The other method by low cost operators use cheap labour perhaps shipping the recyclables to countries where labour is cheap and people lined up along a conveyor belt specifically look for and grab specific items off the belt and into bins. That is several people will be tasked with pulling soda bottles out and only soda bottles, others are tasked with pulling newsprint out, etc. Only the items that they’ve arranged a buyer for gets pulled out and what’s left goes into the landfill even if it is recyclable.

If your community just goes with a low cost recyclable collection service then chances are the entire stream will be shipped to some far off country, only the most valuable items pulled out and the rest winds up in a landfill in some distant country. It’s well worthwhile to inquire and insist on a better capitalized recycling operation.

Either way, with both single stream methods, you don’t have to sort, or peel off labels or anything. In the mechanized stream, all items are chopped into small pieces and then sorted so the foil lids will wind up in appropriate bins. In the manual stream, the big valuable items like bottles and cans get recycled but the rest winds up in a landfill so the foil lid would just be in a landfill. The labels on cans and glass bottles burn off when the glass, aluminum or steel gets melted.

I would throw anything remotely recyclable into the bin. That way the high tech recycling companies get a significantly better yield than the low tech companies and hence are rewarded for doing a better job.

I do rinse my containers out but mostly to prevent mold from growing before the recyclables get collected. I don’t want a stinky bin in the garage.

The Expert answers:

1. By recycling 1 plastic bottle not only saves anywhere from 100 to 1000 years in the landfill but also saves the environment from the emissions in producing new bottles as well as the oil used to produce that bottle.

2. Approximately 60% of our rubbish thrown away today could be recycled. A survey was done and 9 out of 10 people surveyed said they would recycle more if it was easier

3. Each of us uses approximately one 100-foot-tall Douglas fir tree in paper and wood products per year.

4. More than 56 percent of the paper consumed in the U.S. During 2007 was recovered for recycling — an all-time high. This impressive figure equals nearly 360 pounds of paper for each man, woman, and child in America.

5. Approximately 1.5 million tons of construction products are made each year from paper, including insulation, gypsum wallboard, roofing paper, flooring, padding and sound-absorbing materials.

6. Recycling steel and tin cans saves 74% of the energy used to produce them.

7. Up to 80% of a vehicle can be recycled.

8. On average, 16% of the money you spend on a product pays for the packaging, which ultimately ends up as rubbish.

9. A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in as little as 60 days. That’s closed loop recycling at its finest!

10. If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year!

11. Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator.

12. A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose — and even longer if it’s in the landfill.

13. About one-third of an average dump is made up of packaging material!

14. Rainforests are being cut down at the rate of 100 acres per minute!

15. On average, each one of us produces 4.4 pounds of solid waste each day. This adds up to almost a ton of trash per person, per year.

If you have found a reputable, authoritative website but it does not list an author, don’t worry. You can still use it (unless your teacher forbids it).

Use an online citation service such as KnightCite at http://www.calvin.edu/library/knightcite/index.php. Choose APA under Citation Style. Then under Source Type, click Electronic. Then choose Website Document.

Then simply fill in all available info (author’s name only if it is listed on the website) and click Submit. Then cut and paste the correctly formated citation into your bibliography or works cited page.

Note that you do not have to include an author’s name. Just fill in all the info you have, and it’ll give you the correct APA format, with or without an author.

This comes to you from a school librarian who regularly teaches how to create proper citations for all sorts print and electronic documents.

I just did a quick Google search, simply using the term “recycling.” Almost immediately I found a reputable site the has an article with the author listed. Go to http://www.eoearth.org/article/Recycling to read it. With a bit of effort, you should be able to find plenty of others.

But whatever you do, do not use blogs (as suggested by another person who answered). Unless you research who the blogger is and find that he/she is an well-known expert on the topic of recycling, you cannot trust the blogger’s writings enough to use them as sources for your assignment.

Good luck.

P.S. Learn how to spell “author.” And if you want to write, “the author’s name,” you must include an apostrophe before the ‘s’.

I had to do a project like this too, it was a while ago though so I don’t remember much !

– Recycling aluminium uses less energy then mining it. It only uses 5% of the energy which it would take to mine the aluminium.
– Recycling it is cheaper.
– Recycled aluminium is used to make drink cans.
– The source of mined aluminium is bauxite ore.
– Aluminium is 100% recyclable without any loss of its natural qualities.

The Expert answers:

23 Percent Of Americans Don’t Recycle

Quick fact: Recycling materials can take as little as 5 percent of the energy you’d wind up expending if you produced them from virgin sources, as is the case with aluminum, which means you not only conserve already-limited resources, but you also curtail potential atmosphere-warming carbon emissions—95 percent, in some cases.

But almost one-quarter of American adults don’t recycle, according to a new Harris Poll. And while you might think the young’uns might be more environmentally progressive, think again. About three in 10 respondents aged 18 to 30 don’t separate their glass, aluminum, and paper from their garbage, compared with 19 percent of seniors aged 62 and older.

The poll also revealed a stark regional division across the U.S. Or A.: East and West coasters were more likely to recycle (88 percent and 86 percent, respectively), while only 67 percent of people living in the South and 70 percent in the Midwest bothered to do so.

Among the anti-recyclers, one in six said they don’t recycle because it wasn’t available in their area; 12 percent, on the other hand, said it takes too much effort, plus it costs more to recycle in their neighborhoods. Another 11 percent said recycling was, well, rubbish and doesn’t make a difference; 6 percent said they were too busy and 5 percent found recycling too difficult. ::Environmental Leader
