I dont know what the situtation is else where in the world but right now in the uk recyling has become a big topic of debate, right now some countys operate recycling as part of their rubbish pick up whilst others dont.

In my area it does but your only allowed to put plastic bottles in plastic (though metal and glass are fine).

I dont understand why we dont recycle more? I just cant understand why we have to throw away so much product when we can simply re use it, we have more than enough to keep us going with out needing to make more plastic.

To me it seems so simple, you put all your metals in one box, plastic, glass, paper all in different boxes and they go away to their respective factories. There sorted then brought back to their most basic level (e.g melted down) and then companies buy the raw material and use it to build new products.

The system would be self suffiencent so why cant we introduce it?

Whilst were on the subject of ethical companies and recycling anybody know of good ones, clothes for example?


worn again shoes

They take old clothes and make them into trainers, lets try and get a bit of a list going.
