Trash or garbage is a major form of environmental pollutant, with many types taking hundreds of years to properly decompose when thrown away. The truth is shocking, yet it’s something we can all try and do something about. Here are 10 facts about trash to consider, plus some practical tips for ways of reducing your garbage, recycling it and helping the environment.
1. On average, American’s throw away about 3.5 pounds of trash each day. 2. Between Thanksgiving and the New Year, Americans throw up to 25% more trash, amounting to a massive five million tons extra. Of this, about four millions tons is believed to be made up of wrapping paper and shopping bags. 3. One third of all garbage thrown away by Americans is packaging. As lots of packaging takes years to fully decompose, it’s worth making the effort to try and cut down on the amount of packaging and bags you use. 4. Different types of rubbish take varying amounts of time to properly decompose. Top of the offenders are Styrofoam and plastic containers which take one million years to fully decompose. A disposable (spot the irony in the name) diaper takes 550 years and an aluminium can takes between 200-500 years. At the other end of the scale, a wool sock takes one year and a paper bag one month to decompose. 5. Estimates suggest that the average American office worker uses up to 500 disposable coffee cups each year. 6. About 200 million gallons of used motor oil is illegally dumped in the US each year. 7. Unwanted junk mail is frequently thrown away and up to 44% is ditched without even being opened. 8. We use more than 67 million tons of paper each year – which works out as about 580 pounds per person. 9. A large amount of garbage is either incinerated or buried in landfills. About a quarter is currently recycled, but if we were more careful and spent time sorting and separating different types of materials, we could significantly increase our recycling abilities. 10. The time taken for glass to break down isn’t known. However, as we’re still finding pieces of glass made over 3000 years ago, we can only assume it’s a long time.

That someone can still surprise me ---- in a good way... if given the chance... Its ok to need him - and let him know Independence doesn't mean isolated - solitary - only me; not to be threated by healthy inter-dependence. He honestly doesn't see ALL MY FLAWS |

Shadow In general, hard to say but my answer for $200: What is - she liked you but now knows you're pursuing another woman and wants to be respectful and only talk to you in public, Alex" |

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone".
