Green Recycle Bag

ralph w asked:


So lots of grocery stores now provide bins where shoppers can drop off old plastic bags for “recycling.” Does anyone know exactly how the stores recycle the bags? Do they actually reuse them as bags? Or are they somehow reprocessed for their raw materials, as with bottles, cans, etc.?

I just graduated recently and I’m noticing some things:

- I have a car, and no longer take public transportation
- I use garbage bags instead recycling grocery bags
- I drink spring water and always have tropicana in the fridge
- I’ve upgraded the brands of cosmetics/shampoos that I buy
- I tip at Starbucks
- I order fancy Starbucks drinks instead of just plain coffee
- I own a brand new laptop instead of a 1999 bulky PC
- I go shopping and actually buy stuff without feeling too guilty
- I actually change my wardrobe throughout the week
- I no longer have rommates
- I stopped eating fast food and I have no problem paying $30 for a meal

Can you think of any other ones?

These things cost $25K. It is the most expensive thing I own. FDA will not allow reuse in the US, so maybe in a 3rd world country. There has to be somebody somewhere that can afford the surgery, but can’t afford the device.

I live in a rural region where there is absolutely no recycling resources, unless I drive over 300 miles! Are there any websites or organizations that I can contact to recycle plastics, metals, cans etc?

Is there a way I can encourage or facilitate Apartment Complex residents to recycle instead of throwing our plastic and paper into dumpsers and thus landfills?

The recycling centers in my area cannot accept plastic bottle caps. I’d like to recycle them, but don’t know where I can deliver/send them. Are there any charities or companies that collect them?

We already are recycling, composting, we save all of our cardboard for a friend who reuses it. But I still feel wasteful?

Are there anymore simple things we can do to reduce waste?
