GLASS ;)

All glass containers for food and beverages can be recycled, but it is important not to mix bottles with other types of glass such as windows, mirrors, table glass, Pyrex or auto glass. Ceramics contaminate glass and should be carefully trimmed.


To recycle is not necessary to remove labels. Just rinse glass containers to prevent odors. Unlike plastic, the high temperature processing of glass and metal contamination removed easily.


Most of the glass recovered is used in new glass containers. There is some also used in fiberglass


Recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to light a 100 watt bulb for four hours.  

Tetra pack recycling :D

Tetra pack recycling


The material which is composed of tetra pack packaging is fully recyclable so in many countries, there are public deposits containers used to collect and carry out recycling. Home The procedure consists of:


   1. Fully open side of the container
   2. Rinse


   3. Allow to dry (drain)
   4. Store, as you have enough
   5. Flatten and tie
   6. Placed in public repositories.

Wheels, Tires


The old tires, those who switched to cars when they no longer serve, and we usually see them burned in any event, could have a new and better use. In Mexico took the first step and created the "llancreto", a mixture of waste tires and concrete. And used it to pave a street, they say, can last 20 years with minimal maintenance and safety average. The new technique promises to solve the problem of recycling of this highly polluting. The street in question is located in the municipality of San Pedro Garza Garcia, a suburb of the northern city of Monterrey.

For the preparation is used about 200 cubic meters of concrete and a disposable rubber 2800, ie 14 per cubic meter. The project was supported by the cement company Cemex. This is the first street to be paved with this technique, but the Mexican Environment Secretary Alberto Cardenas said that this method is part of a pilot scheme that could spread to other parts of the country. In addition, Cárdenas expected to "llancreto" can be used for rough use, ie for highly trafficked avenues that support heavy truck traffic. The concrete was perfected after several years of research resulting in a durable, safe and promotes sustainable development, according to Secretary Cárdenas.

Air pollution


Astronauts returning from his travels with a new mindset that makes them feel more respect for the Earth and understand the need for care.

Since space does not see borders, much less the economic interests, but some of its devastating effects, such as pollution of the atmosphere.

85% of the air is close to Earth in the troposphere, a thin layer ofonly 15 km higher layers of the atmosphere have little air, but protect us from UV (ozone layer) and meteorites (ionosphere).

The gases that we release into the atmosphere have left Earth in a dreadful state. The photos were the first astronauts are much clearer than at present, although we now have more sophisticated equipment. Humans are capable of destroying in a short time which in nature has taken thousands of years to create.
