<description><![CDATA[There's a certain disconnect in logic when the time comes to dispose of something around the house that we consider an object of permanence. Major appliances like TVs, refrigerators, stereos, and computers, appliances that we shelled out a decent amount of cash to get, we find ourselves understandably reluctant to put in the trash. We might first try to sell them at a garage sale, or maybe find someone who's willing to shell out the dough to have it fixed instead of merely buying a new one; but when all of this fails we place it on top of all of our other trash, maybe with a note apologizing to the garbage man for any inconvenience. Somehow the level to which we are attached to this home fixture blinds us from the obvious solution when it comes to disposal-recycling.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Before retirement, I was in the car wash business, and I was amazed at how many environmentalists from the Sierra Club would show up at the city council or planning commission meetings and try to attack our environmental impact reports, and prevent us from utilizing the property we owned. It seems as if no matter what we do did they would always come up with some reason why we could not build the car wash, and hire the employees from the town to do the work.

<description><![CDATA[As we immerse ourselves into a digital age, with satellite navigation systems in our cars, and GPS mobile phone tracking in the palm of our hands, how much time do we have until paper maps and atlases become obsolete, in favour of their digital version?

<description><![CDATA[Toner cartridge recycling, also known as printer cartridge recycling, is a process where empty cartridges are collected after they are all used up and resold by a third party as remanufactured. The steps involved in remanufacturing cartridges vary from one manufacturer to another but typically involve sorting, methods to ensure that quality control is adequate and cleaning and refilling. The process of recycling both print and toner cartridges is environmentally friendly since it is estimated that over 700,000,000 empty cartridges are thrown away each and every year in the United States alone and it can take more than 10 years for a single one to decompose. The process begins with sorting the cartridges once they arrive at the supply store. Cartridges that are damaged are thrown away, while those that can be refilled are saved. The ones that meet quality control standards are cleaned and refilled. The toner cartridge ink quality must be tested before the ink leaves the facility to ensure that it is comparable to the quality users expect from the manufacturer of the printer themselves.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's all about money. With an ever-increasing focus on sustainability in today's businesses, schools, and media, the vast majority of today's North American population is realizing how influential we as humans are on our precious planet. So why doesn't everyone shop organic and ditch their cars already? The answer always comes back to money. When asked about the most difficult part of being eco-friendly, an overwhelming majority of people cite price as a push factor away from making sustainable choices. It's true that reducing the impact of a product on the environment may not always be cost-effective, but that doesn't mean money should be an obstacle to sustainability. You can go green without breaking the bank, and in fact, many eco-friendly choices can actually save you money!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wind power, solar energy, hydroelectricity... All of these terms that have grown so familiar to us address one common issue: alternative energy. What the general public knows about alternative energy typically comes from the media.

I confess, seeing those types of things makes me think that maybe there is hope in humanity after all. I mean, all of these marvelous inventions combating global warming created for the sole purpose of creating a better future for the coming generations give me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. What many people don't realize, however, is that the media shows us an incredibly biased viewpoint on the reasons as to why so much research is being put into alternative energy. In fact, the primary reason behind this research is far from altruistic, but rather an ugly, well-concealed secret: peak oil.]]></description>
