Trashed Tech Dumped Overseas: Does the U.S. Care?
tabsey
by tabsey  9-20-2008   
 Our uranium sales are restricted because of the debate over the waste materials. No doubt we have similar situations here, and most countries are the same. We really are doing a good enough job wrecking the planet, without the global weirding* (TM BartendingBear).

Bio Gas a renewable cleaner fuel
jimmy123
by jimmy123  9-3-2008   
  Advantages • It is renewable, and its production uses materials that otherwise collect in places such as landfills • It is a high octane, clean-burning fuel which doesn’t threaten soil, surface water, or groundwater. • Its extremely similar to natural gas, meaning it is highly compatible with an already well-established energy source that currently provides the US with one quarter of its energy needs • it is available in massive amounts domestically.

How Does San Francisco Keep 70% of Their Trash Out of Landfills?
urbanlife
by urbanlife  5-8-2008    1
 “When we look at garbage, we don’t see garbage. We see food, paper, metal, glass.” The 70 % diversion rate includes recycling, composting and source reduction (meaning reusing things instead of throwing them out.) The city has 12 recycling streams, or programs, devoted to different materials, including regular garbage, construction debris, furniture and paint. For example, much of the concrete from demolished buildings is recycled in new sidewalks. Unwanted paint is blended it in 55-gallon drums: resulting in 3 colors — off-white, beige and green — are packed in 5 gallon tins and sent to local nonprofit organizations, schools or charitable institutions in Mexico. They can collect scrap paper to re-sell because of low levels of glass contamination. Garbage trucks can compress mixed loads of paper, cans and bottles without breaking the bottles. Compare 2006 diversion rates: Chicago 55%, New York City 30.6%, Milwaukee 24%, Boston 16% and Houston 2.5%.

So now the question is: What to do with all those Nalgene bottles?
missmartini
by missmartini  4-18-2008   
 I am using my Nalgene bottle right now. The whole point of me using it was so reduce all those plastic water bottles that are now floating in the middle of the Pacific and collecting in the landfills...but now my nalgene bottle causes brain damage. So, what are we supposed to do if we are a little paranoid and want to get rid of our old nalgene bottle? Where are they going to go? Because you know, now there are people tossing out these indestructible bottles all over the world! I saw, we send them to back to Nalgene! Or if anyone else has a solution, please let me know. As for now, I will probably continue using it because it's got that cool cap and honestly, I can't just toss it away.

 Ireland is setting a great example here. Not only did the government manage to enforce this policy, but it was extremely successful! So why are other countries so reluctant to try this? If the majority of the world started doing this, it could have a strong impact on the waste we generate

 I have a second compost bin because the neighbours are putting lots in. The bins take little room, have no smell and provide rich soil when seaweed and a little chook manure are added. You can also get compost bins for flats/units which give the soil for growing herbs etc on a balcony.

 Like many other examples of renewable energy sources, this, by itself, is not a solution to the energy problem posed by peak oil - however, it is one more example of the dozens of local alternatives that can be exploited to meet our energy needs. ----- This could be considered the aquatic equivalent of generating energy using biogas from landfills or farm waste. -----

7 Eco-Resolutions for 2008: I Will Try To Live Green
urbanlife
by urbanlife  1-11-2008   
 Do you really need berries from Chile? Don't collect stuff you will never use. If you trash those once-new goodies when you’re no longer interested in them, they will live in a landfill for years and years. Cut the power to your electronics by plugging them in to a power strip and flipping the switch to off when you’re not watching or listening. Public transportation use saves 1.4 billion gallons of gasoline each year, and can reduce household expenses by $6,200. Plastic bags are made from petroleum and only about 1 percent of the estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion Annie Bell plastic bags consumed worldwide are recycled each year. Most end up in landfills (wherethey take perhaps 1000 years to decompose) or in the sea. By purchasing recycled paper products you’re preventing trees from being chopped down, and paper waste from ending up in landfills. In addition, less energy and water is required to produce a recycled paper product.

Eco-Sin Tax? Chicago Fights the 7 Sins of Bottled Water
urbanlife
by urbanlife  1-7-2008   
 Chicago's 5-cent tax on bottled water took effect on Jan. 2, 2008. The tax is expected to bring an extra $10.5 million annually into the city's coffers while encouraging people to drink tap water and eschew the environmentally suspect bottles. Illinois residents consumed 270 million gallons of bottled water in 2005, making the state the seventh-biggest bottled water consumer in the United States. The Earth Policy Institute estimates manufacturers use more than 17 million barrels of oil in making polyethylene terephthalate plastic bottles. Only 23 percent of those bottles are is recycled, according to the Container Recycling Institute. The rest are tossed into landfills.
