Recycling Center

In order to preserve the environment for future generations and to ensure good health for all, recycling has become the need of the day. The act of processing used or abandoned materials and creating new goods out of it is called recycling. Many everyday goods can be recycled, including automotive equipment, batteries, construction equipment, electronics, glass, metal, paper, organics, plastic, and paint products.

There are recycling centers all across the country where citizens can deposit their unwanted waste. In order to encourage citizens to recycle, many communities have curbside recycling services. People have to separate their waste and the local authorities will, on specified days, pick goods from the curbside. There are even some recycling centers that pay you for dropping off recyclable goods.

People need to be told which kind of material can be recycled and where it can be dropped off. Batteries, for example, leak toxic material into the soil. It’s cheaper in the long run to buy rechargeable ones. Watch and calculator batteries can be taken to a jeweler for recycling. Old car batteries should be taken to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Center where they’ll be recycled. Unused or out of date medicines should not be junked at home. Take them to your local chemist where they will dispose of them safely for you.

Old books, tapes, records, CDs, videos, games should be taken to the local second-hand music or charity shop where they’ll be donated or re-sold for charity.

Plastic is expensive to recycle and takes 500 years to biodegrade. There are however, a number of neighborhood recycling centers to which you can take your plastic bottles. Some stores collect plastic bags for recycling. Most Neighborhood Recycling Centers have paper banks and glass banks.

Some cities have started schemes to impart 'ownership' of a recycling center to the local community in which it is located. Through this they hope to reduce problems of vandalism and increase the weight of waste paper, glass and cans collected for recycling.

Adultery: Why Men are Prone to Adultery

Adultery is only a joke for those who are not devastated by it. The assumption for thousands of years has been that men are more prone towards adultery due to their genes and their need to spread their seed for continued survival. This may have been true at the beginning of time, but in our over-populated world, have we not evolved enough for our minds to control our behavior? Men may also be more prone to adultery because many men find it easier to separate sex from love than women do. In addition, men may have more power and money so women may put up with adultery because they feel responsible to take care of the children and thus, feel trapped. Main shifts in the power balance in marriage have altered adultery. The incredible shrinking double standard in matters of sex has created a shift of heroic proportions in the nature of sexual infidelity. According to recent findings with a sample pool of 37,000 persons, 15% of wives have reportedly cheated

The Right To Be Rich

Shannon Baldwin There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three--body, mind, or soul--can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul. We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul; and we see that real life means the complete expres- sion of all that people can give forth through body, mind, and soul. Whatever you can say, no one can be really happy or satisfied unless their body is living fully in every function, and unless the s
