We reuse those plastic supermarket bags. They're
exactly the right size
for small trash cans, and because they're small, they're just the right
This is a **very** common thing in Brazil. Grocery/supermarket bags are
used everywhere, from trash can bags to storing things. And some bags are
made from recycled material. You can see it is a lower grade and very
different type of plastic.
Also, there is a program in Brazil which turn these bags (and bottles)
in garden seats and structural components for housing. Very interesting.
I think the key isn't to ban the bags, rather,
it's to make bags that
decompose after several months, or when exposed to sunlight or air for a
certain amount of time (more than a month or so.)
Nice!
they're packaged that way, and also the reason why
they're so difficult
to open, once at home, is to make it harder to shopfilt the items. It
I still cannot understand why someone can't use a pair of scissors to
open the darn package :oO
cardboard is fully recyclable, though I recycle those
plastic boxes too.
Ice cream boxes are nice to store parts :)
In our are we recycle carboard, newspapers/magazines
(not that I
subscribe to many anyway - I can find almost everything I want to read
on the web in the first place), glass, and plastic.
I miss when I bought magazines :) Now I have a **good** notebook with
Wi-Fi and 3G internet, I see no why to buy magazines. I can read then on
my'book.
What this has to do with old computers, I'll never
know. :) Possibly,
because we rescue machines instead of letting them go to a landfill,
we're keeping them from becoming junk?
Which is a nice thing :D
