2010-03-13 Oregon Daily Emerald - Baskets stir recycling controversy

A Hamilton Food Services employee, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of employment repercussions, said many students in Hamilton Complex throw away the plastic baskets, which are supposed to be reused.

RecycleMania 2010 is in full swing at the University, but even as this nationwide competition unfolds, some students and employees are concerned about one residence hall and rsquo;s use of reusable plastic baskets.

The reusable plastic baskets became available in the residence halls five years ago. Students can take these baskets with them to their rooms and drop them off at collection bins later. After that, they are washed and reused again.

Disc of the week: Plastic Beach

After a few songs about plastic food, lottery winners and distant sweatshops, it and rsquo;s obvious that we lucky folk in the consumer society are all on that island. and ldquo;We left the taps running for a hundred years, and rdquo; Damon Albarn sings in the closing

Given the album and rsquo;s concept, it and rsquo;s no surprise that Albarn relies heavily on synthesizers and drum machines. Sweet, saturated flavours predominate, just like at the fast-food counter. But a string orchestra opens the disc and returns in

2010-03-08 How clear is our water

Drinking water out of plastic is also problematic over time as the plastic degrades and can absorb contamination from the environment and encourages bacteria to grow in it every time you open the bottle. People are concerned about bisphenol in baby bottles, but all plastic will degrade and can leach chemicals like bisphenol into the water. A study on bottled water also showed plastic is porous and breathes fumes. If it sits in the sun, the plastic is degrading, but is also literally breathing in fuel fumes, so you shouldnt buy water that is sold at a gas station. Are you going to get sick Probably not. But is it a good thing to do No, it is potentially risky. Similarly you should not leave a plastic bottle sitting in a car for a long time. The incredibly high temperatures that can occur in a closed car in the summer can

2010-03-07 Researchers developing plastics that can be composted - San Jose Mercury News

Lead researcher Charlotte Williams says significant research is going into developing greener plastics - not only for environmental reasons, but also because of economic and supply considerations. Around 7 percent of worldwide oil and gas resources are consumed in plastics manufacture, with worldwide production exceeding 150 million tons per year. Almost 99 percent of plastics are formed from fossil fuels, according to the press release.

London researchers have come up with a new sugar-based polymer that they say could make food packaging and other disposable plastic items suitable for being composted at home along with the usual veggie peelings and other organic waste.

2010-03-06 Big stores blind to plastic bag ban - Delhi - City - The Times of India

Though the court is taking action against offenders and fining them between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh, several big stores and food chains continue to distribute plastic bags. While the notification by the environment department clearly states that no plastic bags are permitted in market areas, stores like Home Saaz and Big Apple in Lajpat Nagar and Spencers, Kunchals and Lakshita in GK-I continue to use them, a random survey revealed. And they are in no way exceptions. Their standard excuse is either that the bags are degradable or that the ones being used are about 60 microns thick. "Our bags are degradable. The manufacturer has printed that on the packets. Such bags are permitted in the market, said Anil Bhatia of Home Saaz.

Disappointed with the way the ban is being flouted, Delhi government is in the final stages of drafting an amendment to the notification that will make the law more stringent for defaulters and probably include a clause for compounding the offence. - Lajpat Nagar big stores

2010-03-04 Local couple returns after plastic voyage

The plastic found at gyres is often depicted as floating in patches. While recognizable items, such as bottle caps, flip flops and toothbrushes, are found at these sites, 5 Gyres Project co-director and researcher Eriksen disagrees with this description. While plastic is non-biodegradable, the UV rays at sea weaken the material, which is then broken down into small particles by waves. It is these pieces that foraging fish mistake for food, initiating the pollutants entrance into the food chain.

2010-03-01 Terre Haute News, Terre Haute, Indiana MARK BENNETT: Those little pieces of plastic can create debt heavier than many Americans can shoulder

A mere sliver of plastic, 2 inches tall, 312 inches wide, weighing less than a quarter of a ounce. Kittens look more dangerous.

That revelation may now cause the consumer in that aforementioned case to bypass the laptop and Chinese food purchases, and limit the credit-card buys to the kids cough syrup and the brake job.

MARK BENNETT: Those little pieces of plastic can create debt heavier than many Americans can shoulder

A wad of cash weighs more than a piece of plastic, but most Americans would gladly accept that tradeoff.
