I usually converts all my biodegradable wastes into cash. My african Night Crawler earthworms do for me in the conversion of waste into vermicast-a superior soil enhancer. Vermicast are then sold for about $7.00 per bags 50 kilograms. For mor info: Try visit my site "gaudencio-babiera.qapacity.com". You can see there some of my study results and benefits or you can just email me to datuodin61@yahoo.com
So everyone know that thrawaway plastic bottle is out.
But drink straght from tap? Bring filtered water from home?
What about Filter Bottle made of Stainless!!!

MUST SEE: U.S. President Obamas speech at the United Nations today: "We are determined to act on climate: serious&urgent!" http://tr.im/zqTK
Stop Global Warming is the most important duty to all off us!
But a sustainable development is not that easy as it sounds, as a lot of parameters have to be taken into consideration: e.g. the increasing number of individual’s needs food and to create food we need
resources like water, seed, oxygen/CO2 and energy.
Unfortunately resources are limited by a number of parameters like cultivated space, regional climate conditions and availability of water and energy resources. And even the increasing number of
Individuals needs employment, Individuals and industries needs energy. Transportation is needed, but could be reduced, to reduce the carbon footprint accordingly, by increasing local/regional business.
A lot of options are on hand! As one of it is to recycle and recycling is not very popular in the Middle-East we kindly ask you to join as well our cause at

A RECYCLE VENTURE FOR ALL THOSE MASSIVE LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES IN PLUG-IN ELECTRIC CARS:O)
Plenty of lithium to go around
With most of the world's lithium production centered in Bolivia, Chile and China, some say having a recycling infrastructure in place for vehicle batteries could help save the United States from trading "peak oil" for "peak lithium."
Demand for lithium is currently restrained by the global recession but is expected to catch back up with the world supply by 2013, according to TRU Group Inc. Rising demand for electric vehicles could cause a lithium production crunch as early as 2017 and beyond, the Toronto-based industry research firm said.
However, those fears may be premature, said Linda Gaines, an analyst at Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago who is conducting a four-year study into whether the world's supply of lithium can fuel the U.S. transition to battery-driven vehicles.
"Even if we have a very, very energetic program of putting in electric vehicles, we're still not going to use up all the lithium," said Gaines, whose research found that lithium demand could be met through at least 2050. Those calculations assumed the United States would have roughly half a billion electric vehicles on the road by midcentury, with annual sales at about 21 million.
If people should be worried about the supplies of any material, it should be cobalt, a material many times more valuable than lithium but likely to be phased out of vehicle batteries over the coming years, Gaines said. Some battery manufacturers may even be leery about buying recycled lithium compounds from recyclers for fear of contamination, Gaines said.
But most of the lithium used in the United States is imported, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Currently, lithium is mined by only one company in the United States from a brine operation in the Nevada desert, and USGS data show that more than 85 percent of the world's lithium reserves is in Bolivia, Chile and China.
GAINES' RESEARCH FOUND THAT THE AMOUNT OF LITHIUM NEEDED FOR SOME TYPES OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES COULD BE CUT IN HALF IF THOSE BATTERIES ARE EFFECTIVELY RECYCLED.

ENCOURAGING REUSABLE BAGS WHILE TRYING TO HELP THE ECONOMY!
Connecticut fiscal experts estimate that a nickel tax on plastic and paper shopping bags would initially raise about $20 million a year. Supporters of the plan say half the money would pay for new recycling efforts and the rest would be used to save environmental programs in danger of budget cuts.

Going back to basics i call it... funny how some modern ways do that.Progress is good when theres no side effects yrs on...Brains perform better when their given a challenge, what did we do before the computer? mmm lets think!have BOTH!
i just started to recycle everything i can i also bought cloth bags to get away from plastic my famiy has adapted very well i also tell them why is'nt this a law can you imange recycle trucks knowing its going to be recycled and not a pile of nasty trash
