We waste far too much energy, a good example is the vacuum cleaner.

Air Recycling Technology if used in Vacuum Cleaners could actually save each year in the UK, an amount of energy equal to that generated by 800 Medium sized wind generators.

That is 1.5 TWh of electricity worth £225,000,000 and 650,000 Tonnes of CO2, Emissions. And a saving of more than 25 Twh of electricity annually is possible in the EU. Equal to £3.25 billion and 13.5 million tonnes of CO2.Emissions.

When it snows I leave my car running until the snow melts off of it.

Reducing is one thing, but only reducing only delays the inevitable. You can do everything you can to "save the planet", but eventually, no matter the pace, Earth will die. And despite what you may think, our actions are as natural as the implosive power of dead stars in space. If we are to destroy the planet, it was meant to be.

The problem isn't that it takes too much energy to make the paper, the problem is that we're at a level of paper usage that the trees are being cut down faster than they can grow. So recycling is trying to reduce the number of trees being cut down not reduce the amount of energy used to make paper.

You may not think recycling is not a big deal, but I'm telling you it's complicated. Recycling takes way more energy than creating paper from pulp. That's why it's more expensive. Just compost your paper.

hey not too shabby man!
