I can imagine some processes of recycling could end up using more energy than saving it, depending on the chain of transportation and so on. Without going through all the various calculations for every single town, I can't answer that in general terms. But, I will continue to make my little efforts and continue to delude myself. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I try to keep on top of the sorting as I generate waste. For example, if I buy something at IKEA, more often than not, I'll leave the packaging at the store where they provide bins for it. Same with those crazy plastic packaging of electronics in the megastores. We also have separate bins at home under the sink so I pop the cans, etc in them as they're emptied. It's true that one has be diligent about it.<BR/><BR/>Here in CH Saturdays would be the day to do the sorting and stuff you do on Sundays. It's very traditional here to reserve Sundays for doing things other than work or chores.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03348318649247181165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989485064120418854.post-55686852979288160312008-08-24T13:05:00.000+02:002008-08-24T13:05:00.000+02:00Good grief, styrofoam peanuts!Don't you find yours...Good grief, styrofoam peanuts!<BR/><BR/>Don't you find yourself spending a lot of your weekend sorting out rubbish into different piles and tying it up?<BR/><BR/>I agree that it seems to be a good idea, but was there not research somewhere that seemed to indicate that recycling was not economic - all it did was fool us into thinking we were doing something useful.<BR/><BR/>Seems strange to have it locked up on a Sunday which is one of the prime days for people to sort through their junk and throw some of it out.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334765584939911058noreply@blogger.com
