RECYCLE, RE-USE, CONSERVE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES WITH BETTER WASTE MANAGEMENT

The American waste habits is polluting our domestic world and that of the rest of the world. What we throw out is poisoning our waters , our air and that of land , better used for housing or future forests. Examples , PAPER WASTE- toilet paper, newspapers, towel paper, printing paper, etc, how much of this lands in garbage dumps, if recycled, the amount of forestry could be eliminated greatly. The more forests, the more of earths filters, doing what they do best. if recycled, paper waste could be returned as toilet paper, newspapers, towel paper, printing paper, etc. if recycled, paper waste will not exist. PLASTIC WASTE - plastic bottles, food canisters, detergent containers, garbage containers, computers, TVs, etc if recycled, many of third world nations , we dump our electronic gear and the chemicals in those items, will not get to pollute there grounds and water ways. if recycled, our plastic bags will not land in our landfill, but recycled back to us. if recycled, plastic waste will not exist. FOOD WASTE - banana peels, meats, vegetable wastes, uneaten products, dairy, wheat’s etc. most of this breaks down , and goes into the earth. What about the pesticides in it, does that go into the earth too. What about the fact that this could be turned into fuel, using bacteria from the most hostile ends of the earth such as in volcanoes or from the great depths of the oceans. Cellulose ethanol, food waste into fuel. if recycled, food waste will not exist. METAL WASTE - every bit of this can be recycled, not just the copper, aluminum, iron, but everything, yet there are still garbage dumps with metal parts still in it. if recycled, metal waste will not exist. HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS - this is a deadly one, how do you dispose of this, most people want to do the right thing , but if its not convenient for them, lets face it , most won’t do it. The best thing is convince your household cleaner producer to make greener products that are biodegradable, then you won’t have to worry about this danger.

BUILDING MATERIAL WASTE - sheetrock, this can be recrushed, and turned back into recycled sheetrock. Wood waste, can be turned into recycled paper or recycled wood, tiles can be recrushed, and turned back into recycled tile, etc., etc., etc. if recycled, building material waste will not exist. Garbage doesn’t need to exist, I know there are real good recycling programs. NYC Sanitation garbage sorting machines do an excellent job in separating metals, plastics , paper, etc., but still a small fraction of all the material thrown out is recycled, when in fact it all can be recycled, landfills could be eliminated, resources could be saved by reusing , not wasting, conservation, and better waste management and technical innovation could save our waterways, beautify our surroundings and also help in the fight against global warming ( p.s. there is still a large garbage dump floating in the pacific ocean, maybe if we were better recyclers, this would not exist, but it does. We need to clean this up.)

yes the landscapes of the parks department is green, but how do they heat and generate heat , is it green. in most cases not. on long island, most of the state parks are next to the shores . is there plenty of wind blowing when you visit these parks, sure is, is there one wind mill, look around don't see any. the concession stands are huge at thes beach parks yet only one has taken advantage of solar power, jones beach, what about the others. there is a combination solar sytem that uses the heat waste from a solar panel and captures it to make hot water, in the same instance it cools down the pv panel ,raising the effeciency of the panel 10% percent giving the solar panel a greater effeciency of solar electric power. greening the parks even more, some parks are greening, but some need to be green, what do you think. 

the more you look at solar the the better it gets. solar isn't the only alternative but it sure is getting diverse. from the panels you see on the roofs of houses, to the other applications that are emerging every day to help to feed the need of a endlees clean power. solar towers, to supply steam turbine power, solar asphualt and solar roads to help the nations roads reverse the effects of creating co2, by creating endless electricity. solar - hydrogen, helping to create  hydrogen from a not fossil fuel means (wind and water also can contribute to this also), just in time for the new and powerful new hydrogen cars being created. solar film, to cover the endless glass buildings created in most of our major cities. all these and more. residentual homeowners are seeing what happens when you combine a panel of solar to do not just one thing but maybe multiple uses. a panel that gives you electricity and heat together. to create electricity and use that wasted heat loss to the air and turn that into heat and hot water, with also a benfit to cool the panel, raising its effeciency to even better electrical output. solar can even be concentrated to purify water. wind and water also are adapting and work well, combining these with all the other alternative energies have shown when you build your new cities, the future is here, the more you look the better it gets 

we are responsible for the biggest floating juckyard. the pacific plastic garbage dump. we can blame this country or this country, but it is all of us, we are responsible, one way or another. tell your government, you want a fund set up to join with the global community to clean this up. the set up a United nations fund to clean up this catastrophic mess and publish to the world showing countries who helped in this creation of this dump. To show this embaressment to the world and what they are prepared to reverse there actions. to clean up there mess
