Sure, a lot of the times it's me carving through the hills of Italy in my Aston Martin, but when it's not, daydreaming is my problem solving time. I start on an issue, ride down its tangent line, hop onto another node, etc., until I land on something of value. Often times I find myself daydreaming too much to where it borders laziness, and ultimately me not executing most of those ideas.-----jerf 1417 days ago
Clean Up Pollution As A Smart Shopper [Outlet]5/2/2013 5:54:55 PM
Clean Up Pollution As A Smart Shopper Each person can do their part in cleaning up pollution not only in his immediate area but also on a greater scale by being a smart shopper. Searching online, using google or yahoo will give you results about manufacturers who have the environment in mind when creating their products. Include the current name brands that you currently use to discover if that business is contributing solutions or harming the environment. There is one company that is well-known that does employ recycled materials from garbage dumps to create the energy to run the plant. On further investigation though, the products that are created are actually toxic to the environment with non-decomposing packaging material. So, don't just look at the production, find out what is being produced because the aim is to eliminate toxic substances and use packaging the will not harm the earth. There are some everyday products that we are using that never biodegrade. One such item is plastic foam. You can see this being used in restaurants, cafeterias and fast food joints. Plastic foam is also used to create take-out coffee cups. There are many manufacturers still producing this product on a worldwide basis. You can just not buy the products or go to the places serving food and drinks in such containers. If you want you can take one more step which is to write the offices of the places that you are not going to in order to let the managers know that you stopped being a patron because of the products used. Plastic bags and plastic containers don't decompose for decades and some never biodegrade. There is a problem with this that is hardly ever mentioned which is, something that is thrown out in a plastic bag doesn't decompose as rapidly as it could which means that your paper or cardboard items in that trash bag may not degrade for centuries. You can do your part and stock up on canvas bags to use when shopping instead of the usual paper or plastic. Acceptable ways to get rid of trash are biodegradable products. One company that is doing something about it is rePETe that creates trash bags from 100% recycled materials that biodegrade at the dump. There are other companies that you can find via the internet by doing a search. You will discover a large variety of bags manufactured. The cost is comparable and in some cases, less than the non-decomposing bags. This is a safe alternative for handling trash so that it decomposes in a timely fashion. That same search on google will turn up results about trash bags that are made from polyethylene. The theory is that the poly bags can be used to create park benches and other things IF recycled. However, the use of the bag is for putting trash in thus it will wind up in a garbage dump, take about 500 years to decompose plus the items thrown away in such a trash bag won't decompose until the bag does. By educating yourself on the manufacturers and the products, you will be able to make wise choices when you purchase . Choosing the products that contribute to the environment will create a large change.
