Do You Recycle ?

[Fsiphskilm]

nope

[Michael]

Only when it's convienient for me.

It's good that you do though.

[Mr. Rogers]

i usually do.

[true_noir_chloe]

I always recycle. I also, never litter. I've just always been like that, no big plan other than I've always done it. I like to do the right thing, may be my reason.

[Bobtheduck]

I want to recycle, but have no reliable transportation (well, other than my feet, but they aren't good for hauling big bins of paper or bottles...)

I will probably gather a truckload of newspapers that I collect, and convince my dad to take them down to the recycling place... Of course, we used to recycle out cans and bottles, but my dad said there's just no place to store them until then...

[Technomancer]

We do, although someone's nicked our recycling bin. Grrrr. I'll have to put everything out in a cardboard box for tomorrow's pickup.

[Lightbringer]

Really i dont bother, unless of coarse it just happens to line up like it says on the poll. I hate manditory recycleing anything like that urks me since the save the planet people who institute such rules have no buisness whatsoever telling me what i can and cannot do. I usually horde them up and then every great once in a while take em to the redemption center were i know they recycle them but its not quite the same, cause id rather get my deposit back.(this is a rare occurence again just when it lines up)

i usually recycle because well i don't really know why i guess cause i think it's good to

[Heaven's Cloud]

I don't really recycle mcuh, I sorta live out of town so we don't have much recycling stuff.

[Razgriz]

Not all the time, but whenever I can.

[Shinja]

i dont believe in recycleing, over half of what you recycle will never be recylced just because its not cost efective. and they're going to sort your trash anyway. its not worth it.

[Technomancer]

It's probably easier here since we have a weekly recycling pick up along with the garbage pick up. In the end it's the right thing to do: remember that cost effectiveness also depends on landfill space too.

[Fsiphskilm]

Huh?

[Shinja]

aluminum and glass are the 2 most recycled recycleables but the the greatest load of garbage today is paper and plastic, plastic is almost never recycled because of its relitive cheapness to produce, toxicity to recycle, and the fact that the majority of plastics produced world wide is thermoset polymers, wich cannot be recycled. plastric doesnot go away, and when it decomposes over thousands of years it relaeses toxic gasses. its one of those products that they asked could it be done, when they should have ask should it be done.

also any rubber product that isnt 100% natural rubber is an thermoset called an elastimer, wich also cannot be recycled, except to grind it up. and stick it into somthing else

as far as the dump sorting your trash they do, they dont go through individual bags but, anything you leave by the street will be picked up by the corisponding truck, apliances, glass, treelimbs, mulch it all is handeled separtly.

there are a few things that have to be recycled like wet cel batteries and oil, any ileagal dumping of those can get you into trouble.

[senjutsu]

yus yus. i donate my bridgestone super slicks to mother earth weekly.

well not really. umm...i'm to busy to recycle. yeah,thats a good excuse.

[Matt]

i do when I can.

[EireWolf]

I recycle whenever possible. Wolves are very environmentally friendly.

Also for this reason:

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." (Gen. 1:28)

We're supposed to take care of the earth and her creatures. And I'd say that, on the whole, we're not doing a very good job. I think I can handle a little minor inconvenience to play a small part in earth-maintenance.

[Straylight]

Recycling is easy here, there are seperate bins to place you trash, and it's all on site. (I live in a student flat block)

However this is optional, and I live with 7 other people who aren't so keen on recycling. I doubt I want to sort all their rubbish out!

[Mithrandir]

Yeah. I recycle almost all the time. It really does depend on where you live, though. Around the bay area, they really do recycle everything they can. And it's not just because we have so many nut cases running around threatening to kill people who throw plastic in the trash. No really, it's because we have run out of places to put stuff. One of the cities around here (sunnyvale) made a killing off San Francisco. The deal they made was to take one of their huge holes, and let SF fill it up. On the condition that after they fill it up, they have to cover it with dirt, pave and plant it, and turn it into a park. So if any of you have ever played at Shoreline Park, you're playing on SF's filth.

Gee. I seem to have a story for everything... That's weird.

[Technomancer]

At least they're not using the land for housing. Kitchener did that, about forty years the entire subdivision had to be abandoned when some of the houses blew up (methane)

[Mithrandir]

Whoa!

*Rolls on tact for methane joke*

*Fails*

You know, that could happen at my place. And our appartment isn't even on a landfill!
