What do you think can be recycled?
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about recycling is paper, plastic and aluminum. But I did not stop to think about more things that can be recycling until today, when I read some article about what can be recycled. It is not just those that I usually thought. It is bigger.
We can recycle a lot of things.
How about someone use DVD and CD to be used in art??? Isn’t it possible??
In the dictionary RECYCLING (noun) is the act of processing used or abandoned materials for use in creating new products.
Do not you think that it is possible? Recycling making art? How many arts could we produce?
The trash could be used in schools to teach children produce art and use their imagination. Also to be used in art’s school.
But not just CD, many other objects could be used to the same thing.
How about furniture? Many people buy new furniture many times. What they do with the old furniture?
I know that in USA they have many second hand store. And I think it is a good idea to make recycling because the people keeping use things that is old to someone but new for another one. It is true, because if the last owner had care about he is giving to be selling, the next person that will buy it will have someone semi new. The people do that all the time with cars. Why not with another things such as furniture?
In my country we do not have this culture to go to a second hand store. But I think it could be a good idea to starts. Because doing that we help our planet. Or better saying, our house. Our house that we are not taking enough care and is worse day by day. I think everything that we do to help is good. Because helping to keep our planet health, it means keep our life health. Everything bad that happening in our planet will reflect on us.
Think about that. If you do not do anything to help the planet is because you are thing the wrong way or think just about yourself but not on other generation that is coming such as your kids, grandchildren, …
I believe unless changing people`s minds, we cannot good at about the recycling. First of all I should change my mind,and later I should try to convince the other people about the importance of the recycling. Other than that, we can make people pay because of the overconsumption,however many rich people easily pay that money and continue what they have been doing. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteYes, I also think the rich buy many new things after getting tired of things they have easily(probably I have a little bit prejudice.) After all, the poor end up buying things at second-hand stores. OF course each and every people think about recycle, but I think companies which make products have to think about it and try to recycle to make new droducts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I think you really explored some good ideas about recycling. I was wondering if you could analyze the idea of recycling as a lifestyle?
ReplyDeleteIn the US, because of the wealth, there has been a real push to make disposable products instead of products that can be used again and again. Especially in the US, we live in a disposable, non-renewable society in which it is ok to throw things away all the time in order to get the newest and latest gadget or fashion. Unfortunately, the whole world cannot sustain our level of living. I think this is very evident in the current recession. We in the US had an inflated sense of what it means to "have enough." We have been living far beyond our means by using a ridiculous amount of credit to buy things. In a sense, we created money out of nothing, and now the whole world is being affected.
Recycling could be the wave of the future, and maybe everyone will calm down a little bit and not buy so many expensive things. The problem with this is that our consumption of a huge amount of goods that we don't need helps keep the economy going. Now people are losing their jobs because people are not buying "toys" as often as they used to.

ReplyDeleteAs Greg commented eariler, like Belgium, Japan is also tiny country and is running out of places to trash. So people are led to get interested in recycling from childhood. I used to learn making toys using plastic bottle of mayonnaise and plastic case of strawberry. They end up being trashed, but I believe that this is also good way to recycle and start learning recycle.
