Why Everyone Should Recycle
Why Everyone Should Recycle
Author: D Beart
Recycling is sort of like exercising: we all know we should do it, but not all of us do it as often as we should and some of us don't do it at all. However, there are lots of reasons why you should make an effort to recycle as much as possible. If you haven't been diligent about recycling your garbage, here are seven good reasons why you should start.
It cuts back on global warming. Our planet is starting to feel the effects of global warming already and we need to do whatever we can to lessen the impact. Production of certain materials from scratch can release significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Aluminum production is a prime example producing new aluminum creates 95% more CO2 than recycling old aluminum cans. In addition, recycling paper saves trees for each ton of paper recycled, 17 trees are saved. Each of these trees can extract around 250 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air in a year.
It makes us more energy-efficient. It often takes a great deal more energy to create something from scratch than to recycle it. For example, it takes twice as much energy to burn plastic as to recycle it; it takes 64% more energy to make paper than to recycle it; and recycling just one pound of steel can save enough energy to run a 60-watt bulb for one day.
It keeps our landfills from overflowing. We're fast running out of space for landfills especially near cities. Seaside cities have been dumping trash into their oceans for decades to circumvent the problem, but with widespread marine ecological collapse, this is no longer a viable option. Worse yet, it's difficult to find land in suburban and rural areas whose residents will allow landfills to come into their areas without a fight. The squeeze for landfill land is only going to get worse in the future.
Recycling gives us some hope for this bleak scenario. Studies show that 60% to 75% of garbage in landfills can be recycled. That means that if everybody recycled, we'd have 60% to 75% less garbage in our landfills, and we'd need at least that much less land for garbage disposal.
It improves the quality of our groundwater. The garbage in landfills is usually not treated in any way it's simply thrown in a big hole and buried over. Much of this garbage is not environmentally friendly or readily biodegradable and it's no surprise that contaminants can get into our water. Rain and other runoff from landfills gets into our streams, rivers, lakes, and other waterways, damaging fragile ecosystems. It's also a major reason why it's not safe to drink from streams and rivers when you're hiking and camping even when it looks like you're in a pristine environment. Recycling reduces the trash in landfills, and the more we recycle, the more our water systems can start becoming as pure as they look.
It reduces air pollution. Many factories that produce plastics, metals, and paper products release toxins into the air. Recycle these materials, and there will be less need for companies to manufacture new materials saving on the amount of pollution dumped into our atmosphere. In addition, disposing of certain recyclable materials can also produce significant pollution. For example, plastics are often burned in incinerators. Plastics are made with oil, and that oil is released into the atmosphere when the plastic burns creating serious greenhouse-gas emissions.
It creates jobs. From manufacturing to processing, from collection to invention it's no secret that recycling is a growth industry, earning billions of dollars annually. Our need to recycle is only going to grow more urgent as populations grow and as technology changes. Recycling creates far more jobs than landfills do enough jobs to make a big difference in a small town.
It adds to property value. It's obvious that a landfill near your home can decrease your property values significantly. Recycling reduces the amount of land needed for landfills. This reduces the number of houses near landfills, keeping property values up and homeowners happy. The more people recycle, the fewer landfills we need and if enough people pitch in, recycling should pay off for everybody.
It's good business. Pitting business against the environment is a lose-lose situation: everybody suffers. And yet, that's how the debate has been framed in politics and the public sphere for years. This is a shame, because the truth is that recycling just makes good business sense. Industrial factories and processing plants save plenty of money on energy and extraction strategies when they use recycled materials instead of virgin resources. They also ensure that basic resources don't become a scarce commodity, keeping demand and prices down and ensuring that their business can continue for decades to come.
One person can make a difference. With so many good causes, it's easy to get discouraged especially when the problem is so widespread that it's hard to see what difference your individual effort is making. Many people think this is true with recycling, too but the truth is that small acts of recycling make a big difference. For example, recycling just one large newspaper would save around 75,000 trees. On average, each person in the U.S. produces around 1,600 lbs. of waste each year. If you recycled all of that, you could save around 1,100 lbs. of waste per year that's over half a ton just by yourself!
We hope that after reading this article, you'll be inspired to become a recycling advocate or at least be certain to recycle in the future. Recycling benefits everybody, and takes only a little trash-sorting to put into effect. With our limited space for landfills and dwindling resources, it's a sure thing that recycling is here to stay.

Organic Products
Author: Bobie
Organic products may not have taken the market by storm, but the market for it is steadily growing as people are becoming conscious about what they eat. Organic food products are grown without using chemicals, fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. It has been found that organic food contains more vitamins, nutrients, and minerals in comparison to food grown using the conventional farming methods. The food is nutritious, which increases a person's immunity level against diseases.
Dairy products, meat, vegetables, and fruits are some of the organic food items, and these items do not contain artificial additives. Organic food products are grown while preserving the reproductive and regenerative capacity of the soil. Also, good plant nutrition methodology and sound soil management are followed. In the U.S., companies producing organic products have to obtain special certification to market food as "organic."
Since organic products cost more than the non-organic ones, it's important to ensure that the products are indeed organic in nature. One should be careful to read the label on the food items. People often think that ‘natural' products are ‘organic products' which is a completely wrong assumption -- natural products are completely different from organic. Also, one most keep in mind that the label ‘organic' refers to food products that has met the standards set forth by the USDA's National Organic Program.
A whole organic way of life is being developed. In addition to food items, organic products such as organic cosmetics, organic dress materials, organic house-wares, and more are generating interest.

Green Certified Carpet Cleaning Services: Does it Work as Well as Chemicals?
by: Stacey Barr
People will often ask me for green cleaning solutions used on carpets that are safe for kids and pets. Or, they will ask if I use chemicals that are harmful to the environment. There are eco-friendly ways to clean a home and carpet cleaning is included in this routine.
Green Certified or a Green Seal is the designation most carpet cleaners will have if they purchase and use a green cleaning solution for carpets or upholstery.
There is one surefire way of determining whether or not these products are safe for kids and pets. The Food and Drug Administration has examined many of these types of products, both chemical and green, and labels them (Generally Recognized as Safe) G.R.A.S. Look for this designation on cleaning and other household products.
For effectiveness, the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) designation shows that a 3rd party tested this product’s cleaning ability. If a professional carpet cleaner is using a green product, this is a good sign it is effective.
This article will go beyond green certification and answer some commonly asked questions about the green carpet cleaning process.
Q. How effective are green carpet cleaning services at cleaning carpets with stains and pet odor?
A. I have seen some green carpet cleaning products outperform their chemical counterparts. Many green certified carpet cleaning solutions offer special stain removers and pet odor formulas. Consumers purchasing green carpet cleaning products should be cautious because it’s common for companies that make green products to focus on the organic quality of the solution, rather than effectiveness. The only way to truly determine a product’s cleaning effectiveness is to field test it or take the word of an expert (such as a carpet cleaning service) that has utilized the product in homes and businesses.
Q. Are carpet cleaning chemicals harmful to kids and/or pets? How do we know they don’t cause harm?
A. There is some debate that household cleaners and some carpet cleaning chemicals are harmful to the environment and even those living in the home. There are many different chemical carpet cleaning solutions. Some individuals are more sensitive than others to some chemical products. There are safe, effective chemically based products in the carpet cleaning business and have been for years. Some people just prefer to go green -- and that’s their preference.
Q. What are the advantages of green carpet cleaning?
A. Green carpet cleaning doesn’t really cost that much more money. The consumer can feel good about not putting harmful chemicals into the home environment, and eventually – the bio- system. Cutting down on pollution is a main concern of many who use green products.
Q. Do people request green carpet cleaning solutions for a healthier approach to cleaning their home?
A. Some people are suffering from asthma, allergies and other lung disorders and are extra-sensitive. This group is mainly concerned about the inhalation toxicity of products that expel harmful pollutants and are breathed in from the atmosphere. Green products that are well made won’t include compounds believed to be toxic. No known carcinogens will be used in the solution, either. A low level of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) will be on the label in order to meet clean air requirements. This all adds up to a healthier choice for those affected by lung disorders.
There are a variety of reasons why consumers choose to use green carpet cleaning products in their residence. In a competitive economy, carpet cleaning companies need to keep a keen eye towards the wants and needs of their customers. Right now, eco-friendly carpet cleaning services are more popular than ever. Keeping green carpet cleaning solutions in use makes sense because using them provides the customer a sense of safety and well-being in their own home.

Going Green With Wind Turbines
by: Adam King
Wind Turbine Energy: A New and Green Alternative
When people think about finding green sources of energy, they often turn to solar power. While it is true that solar energy is a clean alternative to using traditional fuels such as gas and electricity, it is not the only green option available. Wind turbine energy is method of generating energy that is not new in theory since there are many who know how to generate electricity using wind. However, wind turbine energy is still a new form of powering an entire home.
Wind Turbines vs Solar Panels
Both solar panels and wind turbines generate power that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. Since solar energy and power generated using wind turbines is clean and easily renewable they can both be used by people who are looking for ways to reduce their carbon foot prints by reducing the amount of fumes that are emitted into the atmosphere. It is believed that if the planet turned away from traditional forms of power such as oil and coal the greenhouse affected (the warming of the Earth's climate) could possibly be reduced.
The problem is, people who are interested in clean power do not know whether they should choose solar power or wind turbines. When making your choice think about your climate. If your home does not receive direct exposure to the sun on a regular basis, you might want to consider wind turbines. Remember, the energy stored by solar panels is depleted as electrical appliances are used, so if you are not able to constantly renew your solar energy wind turbines are the best, green, alternative.
Saving Money With Wind Turbines
The cost of installing a home wind turbine might be enough to discourage many homeowners. Since using wind turbines to fuel homes is still new, manufacturers and installation specialists have not had enough time to develop cheaper ways to build and install wind turbines. Having a wind turbine installed for private use can cost from several hundred to several thousand dollars.
The final cost is determined by the amount of energy you and your family will be using since this will influence how much power your wind turbine will need to generate. However, it is important to remember that after the wind turbine is installed you will have a limitless amount of energy at your disposal. Once a wind turbine is working you will no longer have to worry about paying monthly electricity bills which will save you thousands of dollars each year. In fact, your wind turbine should be able to pay for itself after only a year or two.
Going green is a choice that will help you and the environment. By switching to turbine fueled energy you and your family will be able to drastically decrease your monthly electricity costs. Also, switching to wind generated energy will help the environment by reducing the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. You might also be able to further help the environment by starting a conservation trend in your neighborhood.
