I love to recycle

Post Reply New Topic

I love recycling because I just have a fascination with helping the earth/being green.

i hate it when people leave new phone books moldering on the ground beneath their mailboxes. i wish they'd be kind to them by picking them up off the wet dirty ground and taking them inside and using them. or recycling them, letting them reincarnate into newspapers or something.

I recycle. the number 7 b-tch!

but in all seriousness, i do seperate my trash

I recycle, too. We have two recycle boxes sitting in our back yard.

I also recycle.

I don't really, I'm skeptical of the whole climate-change world going to f**k thing, as its too politically charged to be completely objective. There should be no distinction between a liberal and conservative scientist, yet in climatology they seem to be non-synonymous.

Me too, I recycle as much as I can... sometimes I get kinda irritated when people forget and end up rescuing things off the top of the bin to go in the recycle boxes

Good Job! I recycle just about everything now or compost it. I hardly have any regular trash at all. It really is amazing since I used to have so much.

One of my special interests is being "green" so I reduce, reuse and recycle!

I also like to walk when it's less than a 15 minute walk and take transit if it's a longer walk. I don't ride a bike because I am actually a bit scared of it.

Climate-change isn't all there is though, I personally couldn't give a rats bottom about climate-change, there's a whole range of environmental issues associated with waste, and environmentalism for the most part also has nothing to do with saving the planet - once we're gone the earth will repair itself, it's not as delicate as we are...and there's the point of doing ones bit for the environment, it's for us. Waste and manufacturing from scratch adds to our problems, not the planets.

Recycling seems like the right thing to do. Many of the resources we consume are finite.

My neighbors dont seem to feel the same way. They have parties and end up with a lot of beer cans which they throw in the garbage. I'd rescue them and collect the 5 cent deposit, but I have qualms about rummaging through garbage cans. The crackheads, on the other hand, dig right in and claim them every week.

I have two compost bins in the garden too which I then use on my veg patch. We don't have much rubbish and virtually no food waste If I can't reuse or recycle something I take it to a charity shop so they can sell it on

and I just recycled an old bed into a bookcase. I bought the bed for my son when I first started childminding so he was about 3. He's 13 now and each of my children has used the bed at some point. I've repaired it a few times but it broke last year and I couldn't do much with it but kept the wood as it's solid pine and thought it'd come in handy for something

now that's snatching utility from the jaws of futility

It drives me crazy when people don't recycle. Recycling is easy!

Well, not for everyone it isn't. I had to fight with the local council to get recycling bins for two years (no where local for us to recycle and I can't drive), then we have local scum burning them and I've got to go through the whole thing again with the local council...but we are the one building in the whole street with recycling bins now
