AQUÍ ENCONTRARÁS INFORMACIÓN ACERCA DEL RECICLAJE.
En México se producen más de 10 Millones de m3 de basura mensualmente, depositados en más de 50 mil tiraderos de basura legales y clandestinos, que afectan de manera directa nuestra calidad de vida, pues nuestros recursos naturales son utilizados desproporcionalmente, como materias primas que luego desechamos y tiramos convirtiéndolos en materiales inútiles y focos de infección.
REDUCE : ¿Porque no reducir nuestros desperdicios antes de comprar? Preguntémonos si realmente es necesario lo que vamos a comprar. Si es o no desechable. Si lo podemos reutilizar, rellenar, retornar o reciclar. Todo aquello que compramos y consumimos tiene una relación directa con lo que tiramos. Consumiendo racionalmente, evitando el derroche y usando sólo lo indispensable, directamente colaboramos con el cuidado del ambiente.
REUTILIZA : ¿Por qué destruir algo que nos ha costado tanto trabajo hacer? ¿ Por qué tirar algo que todavía sirve? Reutilizar consiste en darle la máxima utilidad a las cosas sin necesidad de destruirlas o deshacernos de ellas, ahorrando la energía que se hubiera destinado para hacer dicho producto.
SEPARACIÓN : En promedio una familia de un país como México genera mensualmente 1 m3 de basura, constituida básicamente por papel, cartón, vidrio, metal, plásticos, materia orgánica, varios y control sanitario. Si la basura se compone de varios desperdicios y si como desperdicios no fueron basura, si los separamos adecuadamente, podremos controlarlos y evitar posteriores problemas. Separando nuestros desperdicios correctamente antes de que se conviertan en basura es posible reducir 80% de espacio.
RECICLA : Consiste en usar los materiales una y otra vez para hacer nuevos productos reduciendo en forma significativa la utilización de nuevas materias primas. Reincorporar recursos ya usados en los procesos para la elaboración de nuevos materiales ayuda a conservar los recursos naturales ahorrando energía, tiempo y agua que serian empleados en su fabricación a partir de materias primas.
22 Millones de toneladas de papel se tiran en nuestro país cada año, si se reciclaran salvaríamos 33% de la energía para hacerlo y ahorraríamos 28 mil millones de litros de agua. ¿Sabías que el vidrio que utilizamos tiene una antigüedad de más de 3 mil años, y desde entonces se ha reciclado? Es decir el vidrio nuevo, nunca se acaba, es 100% reciclable. Reciclando el vidrio ahorramos el 32% de la energía que se requiere para hacer nuevo vidrio. Por cada tonelada que se recicla se salvan una tonelada de recursos.
Reciclar se traduce en: importantes ahorros de energía, ahorro de agua potable, ahorro de materias primas, menor impacto en los ecosistemas y sus recursos naturales. Ahorra tiempo, dinero y esfuerzo.

EL MAR SE VUELVE MÁS ÁCIDO Y LOS PECES EMIGRAN
JAVIER CUARTAS - Oviedo - 28/05/2008 (www.elpais.es)

Em relação ao segundo cartum é possível afirmar que:
“China has begun to enter the age of mass car consumption. This is a great and historic advance.” So proclaimed the state-run news agency, Xinhua, last year. Environmentalists may feel a twinge of fear at this burgeoning romance with motoring. But a rapid social and economic transformation is under way in urban China, and the car is steering it.
In 2002 demand for cars in China soared by 56%, far more than even the rosiest projections. The next year growth quickened to 75 % before slowing in 2004 (when the government tightened rules to credit for car purchases) to around 15%. But in a sluggish global market, China’s demand remains mesmerising . Few expect this year’s growth to dip below 10%. As long as economy goes on galloping at its current high-single-digit clip, many expect car sales to increase by 10-20 % annually for several years to come.
