Recycling Quiz
|
In our quiz you will learn: WHY should we recycle? One reason would be to save resources All raw materials and all energy are provided by our blue planet Earth. Unfortunately, most of the provided raw materials and energy are not usable as they appear in Nature and are spread globally in e.g. deposits. By using energy and resources we have to collect, clean, concentrate, and transform these resources to generate primary raw materials that are usable for people and industry. Did you think about recycling your CD/DVD? Recycling Facts CD/DVDs are class 7 recyclable plastic One lbs of plastic is needed to produce 30 CDs To produce the plastic 300 cubic feet of natural gas 2 cups of crude oil and 24 gallons of water are used. CD DVD plastic is so durable, that it will take about a million years to decompose in landfills. The chemical reactions and emitted gases are unknown. So, please recycle you CD DVDs North Carolina passed a law banning plastic bottles from landfills. The new law will encourage the people to think about what they are throwing away and what to recycle. Municipalities and private haulers will have to establish some sort of recycling program in their community. That could be accomplished through drop boxes at set locations. There are big hopes the law has a positive impact. Awareness of recycling will grow, natural resources will be saved. There is an industry-wide shortage for used plastic bottles, new programs will lower the cost for the manufacturers. Nature education is still missing in many states, so in this case the new law will replace the need for knowledge. But there are chances an advertisement campaign across the TV will fill the gap of missing information/education. Other recyclable materials are also banned from state landfills, including aluminum cans, wooden pallets and glass alcohol and beverage containers. "We want people to know they cannot legally bury these things in a landfill," a state official said "They are valuable commodities. Recycling helps us to import less foreign oil." We applaud this new law as a step in the right direction, but we would prefer better informed citizens, who need no law to show responsibility for the next generation.  Most of what we throw away is made from materials that are slowly running out or cannot be replaced quickly enough because of the amount we consume. Many of the products we throw into landfills have a value and can be used / recycled again. How much do you know about Recycling? Do you know Recycling can lower your gasoline prices?

What can we recycle?1) Most of all metals 2) Most of all glass 3) Most of all plastics 4) Most of all paper products 5) Most of all organic materials When you recycle organic waste on a compost pile you can make compost from kitchen and garden waste. Composting green waste saves valuable space in landfills which is running out. With recycling you save energy Making new goods out of recycled material saves energy. Making new aluminum cans from recycled cans uses 20 times less energy than making cans from the raw material. 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours. 1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes. 1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 30-watt light bulb for 6 hours. 70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials and think about all the trees that would stay alive. Recycling helps to protect the environment to say it different: Recycling helps to protect all of us! Reducing what we have used and recycling all these materials reduces the need to dig up or mine new raw materials, which always damages the surrounding environment.
