Why doesn't the US recycle more plastic? Study points to lack of access

A new University at Buffalo study finds that people in the United States generate similar amounts of plastic packaging waste regardless of income, education level or where they live. Yet wealthier and more college-educated communities are much more likely to recycle soda bottles, takeout containers and other plastic packaging. Why? It's complicated, but the study, published in Communications Sustainability, suggests that unequal access to recycling infrastructure plays a key role.

#Photovoltaik lässt sich recht gut #recycle
Und auch die Schattenseiten der #Dächer geben, nicht 80%, aber Strom ab.
In Masse günstig hergestellt, kann man gleich alle Häuser mit #Solar decken, und anderes Ziegelmaterial einsparen.

#Windräder #Recycling beschränkt sich wohl auf Zweitnutzung. Wenn alle #Dächerwüsten voll #PV sind, braucht es überhaupt noch viel #Windkraft ,oder ist es wie Wasserkraft eine historische Technik?

Water ligt vol troep en wrakken: 'Het ziet er niet uit'

Het is geen visitekaartje voor Den Haag: de Haagse binnenwateren zijn soms een rommeltje. Dat is onnodig, vinden verschillende watergebruikers die zeggen de oplossing voor handen te hebben. 'We missen ogen en oren op het water', klinkt het.

Mrs Austen's Bread and Butter Pudding .

Old stale bread giving a second life in breadpudding was once a thing I liked to do.

Most of us have some nook or cranny stuffed with old electric appliances and devices. The average UK household is believed to contain at least 20 unused gadgets. We’ve all got them—outdated phones, a blender that no longer blends, or a laptop that’s long since passed its prime. But what should we do with these unwanted electronic items? Simply chucking them into the bin is not the answer. Let’s explore creative and responsible ways to recycle and repurpose old electronics."
