I was talking to someone who said that it takes more energy and money to recyle paper than it is to make it from raw materials.

Things to consider (all following situations is under the assumed condition that there are enough recyling facilities around so transportation won’t be a major factor.)

-What’s being recycled (paper, plastic and metal)
-Enviromental impact
-Energy cost
-Money

Please back your answer with sources or be someone that’s capable of answer this question with expert opinion.

In Mentor, Ohio, they stopped the recyling program but offered that we could drive our recylables to a location to dump.

As a result, hardly anyone recycles.
Cities don’t make decisions on ‘caring’. They shouldn’t! They are there to administrate and it costs money.

I am trying to figure out why it doesn’t work and no, I am not going to organize any recycling programs.

I don’t get how it saves the environment. The only thing it saves is money.

How can I find an inventor, who specializes in green products, to see if he or she’d be interested in my ideas? (Without giving up credit for my idea, in hope of making some money off of it?)

I also, unfortunately, have no money to donate to the project to begin with

You all think about suicide quite often. Perhaps this is best left as your fate and not mine.
isopropyl, you’re answer is the best so far, but I’m sure that such a car wouldn’t pass the DMV’s emission tests. Making you’re suggestion illegal.

davehuckleberry, I assure you that there are several ways I can destroy the environment from the comfort of my own home.

For example for water to be labeled "spring water", does the company have to provide proof to the FDA that the water actually comes from a spring? In other words, am I wasting my money on glorified tap water?

How can i stay green and save my own money. I have tried ways, but i could use some more ideas on how i can stay green! Can you help me?

Trying to be more economically concerned, I’m thinking about all the plastic I’m wasting buying plastic water bottles. However, I notice an apparent taste difference between tap water and bottled water. Taste wise, I prefer bottled water but think of all the plastic and money I could be saving with using tap water? Is one healthier than the other? Which is best to use?

I live in Connecticut. I know you can make money with scrap metal and soda cans. What about papers? Other plastics besides soda bottles? I know I can recycle them but can I make some money by doing it? Say I bring in 500 pounds of paper will I get anything for it? What about 300 pounds of #1 & #2 plastic? Thanks in advance for any information.
