A little out of the ordinary for this channel it's the director's cut of a guest vlog I did for my wife and her cousin's vlog project. In it I critique the obsession for recycling and talk about the more important and efficient concepts of reduce and reuse. You can check out their channel here: www.youtube.com

Waste hierarchy
-
Part 3 of 3: Paul Gilman, Chief Sustainability Officer for Covanta Energy, shares the positive results of a study on the environmental influence of following the European waste hierarchy which includes energy recovery. Gilman served as a guest speaker during the Green Public Forum inside the EPA@40 area at the 6th Annual National Sustainable Design Expo on the National Mall in Washington, DC, on April 24 - 25, 2010. The Expo brought together students, scientists, engineers, and business leaders whose innovative technologies are designed to advance economic growth while reducing environmental impact. The event was cosponsored by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and AIChEs Institute for Sustainability (IfS).

Please Recycle it is good for you and the future of our planet and the home of our children.

Recycling prevents useful material resources being wasted, reduces the consumption of raw materials and reduces energy usage, and hence greenhouse gas emissions, compared to virgin production.[1] Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the waste hierarchy. Recyclable materials, also called "recyclables" or "recyclates", may originate from a wide range of sources including the home and industry. They include glass, paper, aluminium, asphalt, iron, textiles and plastics. Biodegradable waste, such as food waste or garden waste, is also recyclable with the assistance of micro-organisms through composting or anaerobic digestion. Recyclates need to be ...

materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy. Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste such as food or garden waste is not typically considered recycling.[2] Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing. In a strict sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material, for example used office paper to more office paper, or used foamed polystyrene to more polystyrene. However, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so "recycling" of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials (eg, paperboard) instead. Another form of recycling is the salvage of certain materials from complex products, either due to their intrinsic value (eg, lead from car batteries, or gold from computer components), or due to their hazardous nature (eg, removal and ...

Recycling involves processing used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste management and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy. in other words sex, drugs, alcohol and recycle hard ...
