Reflection on Recycling Activity
Recycle. What a vigorous word that never quite pronounced itself in my daily activities, at least not until a month ago. As I sipped the remaining drop of diet coke and mechanically threw the empty container into our overcrowded garbage disposal, the word recycle bombarded my mind. Quite a while back, my family had planned, what seemed like an organized and easy arrangement, to recycle and earn a little cash for recreational activities, but it seems that they, including myself, have become very lazy and unmotivated to go through with the task. Well, I realized that I needed to do something about that.
I began to remember various commercials, which have become increasingly popular, about becoming active in the ‘green’ community by recycling and saving energy. So, I consciously plowed through our pantry and retrieved a separate garbage bag, proudly hung it on the knob outside our pantry and threw the vacant can into it. With no further delay, I motivated my family into a recycling plan, which involved recycling empty soda cans and paying monthly visits to my father’s company called Bighorn Bolt & Anchor. My father unselfishly let me recycle some usable pieces of steel he had been using for boat projects. Within a month or so, I had obtained over three hundred and sixty four cans of diet coke, amazingly, and about fifty pounds of steel. With my truck loaded and ready to go, I drove down to the nearest recycling center near west park plaza, and deposited my treasures. I proudly went home with fifty seven dollars in hand.

I’ve never done a reflective essay, so what do I write next. Please Help!!
Paper due tomorrow!!

Ouch. I thought we were pretty good tenants.

-In, behind and under radiators had not been touched.
-Spider webs, dust throughout the unit.
-Cupboards/ shelves not cleaned.
-Refrigerator filthy
-Had to scrub all the walls, very dirty
-main floor toilet was running all over the bathroom and kitchen floor when I arrived May 18th (REDACTED) was in the house but the mess was not cleaned up. Water was leaking into the basement in a couple of spots. I worked on toilet for 2 hours, purchased a toilet snake, not able to resolve problem. Had to call in a plumber ($110)
-Carpet damage in living room this carpet was 3 months old when you moved in and had been cleaned. There was a large cluster of snags in the middle of the living room. Although I cannot repair the carpet to what was, I did “patch” as best I could and sealed snags ($50).
-Paint & patch walls $80.
-Great deal or nail holes (100 + nail holes),
scrapes on walls in all rooms requiring extensive filling, patching and repainting of large areas.
-Poster left on wall in basement bath and tape pulled wall board off when it came down, requiring wall repair, patch painting,
-Large rip in kitchen floor vinyl can not be repaired. Had to be patched to best of ability. $20.

-Replace dryer lint filter – broken had to be replaced. $25.19

They had a two-year deal, I left after the first year. My security deposit is essentially a year overdue. I just want to know for future reference.
My contract was a year. The other six tenants signed two (2) one-year contracts and made an agreement with the landlord to pay the damages after the second year.

How would you promote responsible disposal of CFLs?

In case you were unaware, CFL bulbs contain large amounts of mercury. Because of their mercury content, it is actually a federal offense to toss these bulbs into the trash. Most people don’t know this and do so anyway, which (with the new federal regulations on light bulbs coming into effect) will lead to increased mercury deposits in our soils and water supplies when they’re tossed into our everyday garbage. A few retailers offer recycling programs, such as Lowe’s & Home Depot, but they’re not well advertised.

So, my question is this: If you were King for a day (or Queen, President, Dictator, whatever fits your personality), how would you promote responsible disposal of CFL bulbs?
The point of the question is how would YOU promote responsible disposal, not what the law says is responsible disposal. The law currently says you have to take the bulbs to a disposal site capable of handling toxic chemicals and yet most people don’t even realize if a bulb breaks, they have to handle the broken bulb with care not to let it touch their skin.

On the other hand, @Pedro – me, too 🙂 lol The CFLs give me a headache!

Why are there so many inadequate, green lifestyle solutions aimed at the consumer lately?

Wouldn’t limiting the vast amount of industrial and/or automotive – related pollution that is generated on a daily basis have a far greater impact than anything that any one person could possibly do? This sounds to me like the concept of recycling – companies still manufacture almost everything out of cardboard and plastic without fail which almost always winds up in the trash rather than in recycling boxes – and even if it is in a recycling box, many refuse/disposal companies appear to handle it in the same way as garbage… It makes more sense to make change at the source rather than trying to make some kind of small impact at the consumer-level… If the various existing environmental groups truly care about their planet, I am quite sure that they could enact laws that would have a far greater impact than these inadequate solutions… I challenge these groups to work more assertively on enacting proper legislature to make the effective changes that are required.

What do you think about these articles on recycling?

Here are some articles I read on recycling. You don’t need to read any of them if you don’t like, you could just tell me what you think about recycling. But if you want to read them, or some, then go ahead.

I, personally, found them very interesting.
