Could they be used to repair old? Someone could take the plastic off these items and melt them down to use for other items. (Instead of it piling up in the city dump.)

One of my cats has allergies to the comercial stuff

I've heard the opinion that people are becoming more prone to allergies, sinus infections, and similar problems due to our homes being 'too' disinfected. If someone follows every speck around with a hypo-allergenic vacuum, do we have too few germs in our home environment to maintain good health outside? Thoughts?

If animal waste makes good fertilizer, why not human? Wouldnt' it be better than it going into the oceans etc. Wouldn't this be a form of recycling ?

They would be for Sale at a Farmers Market all would be homemade and environmentally friendly with little or no packaging.I am just curious if people would try them.
Shampoo bars (Last longer and do not have a bottle)
homemade spa pack with all homemade soap packaged only in a basket wrapped in a towel and a ribbon. Assorted baby protucts(shampoo bars and soap also with little or no packaging.) Price would be similar to store brands.

how electricity do you think your average PC power supply uses in a month. How much would it raise your electric bill.

I have had 2 computers given to me and I already have 2 computers. I want to attach the new ones to the network, but If it raises my electric much, I want to pass on them.

We converted to energy efficient light bulbs a couple of years ago, just had one burn out. While I was replacing it I noticed a small white warning label on the new package. These bulbs contain MERCURY folks! MUST be disposed of at an authorized facility, call the 800# on package for instructions. You can't just throw them away or we'll have mercury leaking all over the landfills. I know that there is only a small amount of mercury in each bulb but check out the directions on how to clean up a broken bulb-they recommend the broken pieces be sealed in a zip loc type bag and taken to the proper disposal facility.
Good luck finding somewhere to take them, I called the phone number and got no help, I called several landfills in my area and they can't take them and don't know who can. Admittedly, it may take years to pile up the amount of mercury that will cause a problem so I guess we'll just leave it to our kids to clean up, if they haven't been poisoned by the mercury already.

Recycling seems to be a big item in today's environmental solution set. Maybe it would have helped a lot more 30 years ago, when the usage rate for say, aluminum cans, wasn't so high. Have we passed the 'point of no return' on these things, where it only makes sense to stop using them altogether?

I used aluminum cans as an example because there's a huge energy output in finding and mining bauxite into aluminum, and the relationship between aluminum and Alzheimers may prove to be as harmful as that of lead for drinking goblets was for the Roman Empire. We don't 'need' aluminum cans; it's a major expense to society to manage them.

Then, the cans use up tremendous amounts of separation, washing, and other water-intensive tasks to recycle. Can't we just stop producing things not in our best interests? Like aluminum cans?

I live in an apt and have a patio where the suns warmth warms the patio, and glass sliding door. I feel its raising the temprature in my apt. Will growing a number of large leafed plants help keeping the temp down on the patio.

I'm thinking more in chemical nature (like producing O and the effects of O) rather than a matter of shade
