Environment - January 2007

1) Is recycling paper and putting it in the newspaper bin OK? I recycle paper, not news articles.

2) Will recycling actually help? I'm afraid that recycling will be no use if they use more fossil fuels to process it and burn resources than not recycling.

What are the effects of a sudden increase in global temperature on a planet experiencing an ice age?

Let's say hypothetically a planet similar to Earth was experiencing an ice age that started millenia before. To be specific, the ice age on this planet is as severe as the most recent glacial Earth period was at its peak. Now if the planet was given a telekinetic nudge towards its sun, which is also the same as ours, what would happen? Need some info on what would happen to all the flora and fauna, basically how the worldwide natural environments would be affected. This is for a work of fiction that I'm authoring.

Saving energy in the UK - will it have any effect if the Americans and Chinese don't bother?

I keep seeing ads telling me to save energy. But Americans consume lots of energy (and increasingly the Chinese too). So will it make any difference to global warming etc if the UK becomes energy efficient?

Easy ways to cut down on energy/electricity? I just found out my electric company is increasing by 50% in '07

I already turn the heat way down when I'm gone during the day and at night (I bought warmer blankets). I always turn off the lights when I'm not there. I'm gonna try to remember to unplug my phone charger when not in use b/c I've heard that drains a little. Any other ideas?

Is it possible to recycle razors and/or blades? It seems like such a waste--especially for disposable razors. Could we utilize "Sharps" containers like hospitals for curbside?
