Recycling saves energy, landfill space and natural resources. Home recycling requires a trivial amount of time, yet offers substantial benefit to the homeowner as well as the environment. Ø Newspapers should be saved in its own bin, as this material goes directly
back into newsprint recycling.
Recycling a four-foot stack of newspapers saves the equivalent of one
40-foot fir tree. Ø Plastic does not break
down in landfill, and since it can be recycled to make many diverse products,
effort should be made to recycle all plastic waste. Ø Glass is recycled according
to color: clear,
green
and brown. Recycling centers prefer it when glass is
separated this way. Collectively,
these types of glass are referred to as "container" glass, and widely
accepted for recycling. Ø Food cans should be rinsed and have
lids and labels removed. It helps if
they are flattened, although many new cans are difficult to flatten; they
should still be recycled. Ø Aluminium
cans
are very valuable as recyclable items.
Many recycling centers request they be not crushed flat. Check locally. Ø Aluminium
foil
and foil packaging
are also important to recycle; they are reprocessed into aluminium mechanical
components, such as engine parts. Ø Computers,
printers and hardware: pass it on. The
simplest solution to recycling your old computer. Ask at a local school or put a notice on a community bulletin
board offering your computer free for the taking. Many people without a computer will still find use with the
word processor and basic programs. ________________________________________________________________________________ (submitted by

Wasp
Spray
Ø Six helpful hints for your car in the winter 1.
Keep
your headlights clear with car wax. Just wipe ordinary car wax on
your headlights. It contains special water
repellents that will prevent that messy mixture from accumulating on
your lights - lasts 6 weeks. 2.
Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing
alcohol. Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing
alcohol or ammonia. This one trick
can make badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near perfect
silence & clarity. 3. Ice-proof your windows with vinegar. Frost on its way?
Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water &
spritz it on all your windows at night. In the morning, they'll be clear of
icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the melting point of
water---preventing water from freezing. 4. Prevent car doors from
freezing shut with cooking spray. Spritz
cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors & rub it in with a paper
towel. The cooking spray prevents water from melting into the rubber. 5. Fog-proof your windshield with
shaving cream. Spray some shaving cream on the inside of your
windshield & wipe it off with paper towels. Shaving cream has many of the
same ingredients found in commercial defoggers. 6. De-ice your lock in
seconds with hand sanitizer. Just put some hand sanitizer gel
on the key & the lock & the problem is solved! ________________________________________________________________________________ Recipes
