Operation: Insulation Recycling (Part 9)

I'm forcing the concept of recycling on the world! REAL recycling! ....not that blue box crap. I mean actually physically taking something that would be garbage, and using it for something good.

There's a reason it is in this order:

reduce: make less crap for the next step, energy never consumed is bonus

reuse: make the crap you made last longer, amortize your energy used for better benefit

recycle: use energy to take old crap and turn it into more crap.

recycling is the least efficient.

@jlongmanmtl oh gawd. Ok, technically, I'm REDUCING by not getting foam from the store. ...and instead REUSING what is on its way to a landfill, and taking it from a single time use to years of usefulness.

I'm using recyclng in a very generic way.

Dude, I like the way you think!

[JMEMantzel]

me too. :-)

I love taking crappy garbage and converting it into awesomeness.

if all people thought like you do, we probably wouldn't have global warming =) I'm the same, use stuff you have use for. Supposedly ebay brings up new oporitunities (probably I misspellt that...) for this! Keep going. You're a big inspiration to me, because of your way of never giving up!

Now lets see if it's possible to make maple syrap out of swedish maples too...

[JMEMantzel]

I bet you can totally do it. Maybe not as much sugar in it as sugar maples, but..... you can tap just about any maple tree thats over here, and it'll work if you boil it enough.

...and thanks!

The dump I visit has a recycling centre exactly for that purpose. It's awesome. I've gotten tons of great stuff there.

[jlongmanmtl]

@JMEMantzel no worries, I'm not being critical, just using the video as an opportunity to educate comment readers who are interested. Hey, you're doing great!

I agree we throw too much stuff away, but realistically most people don't have the space to store tons of styrofoam boxes...

They should totally use reusable containers for seafood though.

Totaly agree... its sad, there is no reason we shouldnt be able to take stuff from the junkyards! what do they need the stuff for anyway? burn it i guess...
