Fake recycling???

I’ve recently learned about the act of “fake recycling” from a beloved friend; a friend who I thought was an earth friendly do-gooder and recycler. Little did I know until she confessed, she was only pretending to recycle so that she wouldn’t have to listen to my words of disapproval. Then, she also confessed that she knew of a co-worker who fake recycled too! Oh dear, how do I maintain our friendship, get her to recycle, and stop the epidemic of fake recycling?

She’d tell me, “Oh just leave that on the counter, I’ll take care of it.” Only to later find out she put whatever it was I was trying to recycle into the trash once I left. Yikes, I should have just taken it with me. So, how do you convincingly persuade someone that being green is good for him or her? And what are the eco-etiquette rules? I was obviously in need of some eco-etiquette pointers myself!

I suggest that you gently remind them and yourself, if need be, that the effort is minimal for what the benefits of recycling can be. Arm yourself with random recycling facts that you can deliver smoothly without offending.

  • Recycling 1 aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours.
  • It takes around 20 years for a plastic bag to decompose in the landfill, 100 years for an aluminum can and up to 450 years for a plastic bottle.
  • A wine bottle can be melted down and re-formed into another wine bottle with no waste or by-products produced. Recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to run a light bulb for four hours.
  • A study showed that 1.8 tons of oil are saved for every 1 ton of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic produced.
  • Every ton of paper recycled saves 3,000 liters of water, 3,000 – 4,000 KWh electricity, 2.5 cubic meters of landfill space, and 17 pulpwood trees.
  • Every ton of steel recycled saves 1,433 pounds of coal.


If your recycling facts and know how doesn’t wow them, try helping them get organized for easy recycling by setting up recycling bins for them and volunteering to go with them to the recycling center. You can also introduce your fake recycling friends to curbside pickup, which they may not even realize is an option. Curbside pick up is available in many communities; check your phone book for the local waste department listing to call and find out.

It’s important to remember that we can only try to convince people so many times before they may just stop listening to us. We can’t guilt anyone into recycling. I’ve tried. They have to want to do it themselves; we can only try and help them to understand the benefits.

If you’re a recovering fake recycler yourself, and even if you’re not, please spread the word and help others find their way to the recycling bin and a better planet.

Next step composting!

To be honest, whether lost bitcoin can be found or not depends on how it was lost and because of this, one needs a professional recovery expert like Fastfund Rcovery who will help you get back your lost bitcoin/funds. This Professional recovery Agent helped me recover my stolen 95,440 USD worth of bitcoin effortlessly. His service is not only quick but professional and reliable. I contacted Fastfund Recovery when I had invested in a fake crypto investment platform that cost me 95,440 USD Two months back. I saw an ad on Google on how one can invest on a certain investment platform and earn more and I thought the investment project was a great one that would yield me massive profit but I was wrong. I did invest because I had some cash saved for such an opportunity. I checked my account and I was glad that I indeed made a profit and now the problem came when it was time to withdraw the cash. I tried to withdraw the money for 3 days and that was when I discovered that I had to add more cash for the withdrawal. I promised myself I wouldn’t do this, and that’s when I contacted Fastfund Recovery. I discovered him through a positive review I saw and reached out to him via email. It was such a huge relief when he was able to recover my bitcoin funds. Contact his team today on: Fastfundrecovery8(AT )gmail(DOT)com and W/H: (+1) (903) (717) (6241)

FAST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS

Hello! I’m very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I’m completely cured from my HSV1&2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn’t helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes.

On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of a Herbs doctor { Dr Awase } who cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought “what do I have to lose?” so I decided to reach out. He prepared a cure using roots and herbs which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed by him. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my Dr.

So I’ve decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can’t handle to reach out to Dr Awase. He specializes in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, INFERTILITY, HEPATITIS A,B,C and lots more. I’m here to let you all know that you can also be cured just like me and you don’t have to live with any sort of illness for the rest of your life. To reach out, Contact him via WhatsApp below or Email

I got deceived by Aleisha Tony and made to invest over USD380k on BITCOIN and USDT combined on their malicious investment site known as Coinware Global Investment. I'm writing this in tears and urging the general public to beware of them although they continuously change the brokers name on social media to gather more victims as their potential investor and you'd end up losing everything you have because they have no conscience.
They only let you go or block you when they have milked everything you own and might go into debt, so that way, they sense you've figured out their tactics and tricks and do away with you because no dime would be coming out from your side anymore.
I looked up ways to recover and deal with these evil people and even reported to the authorities with no remedy on sight until I came across a testimony of Refundd Polici Recovery Services by one 'Wendy Wallace" where she gave them praises after they successfuly recovered her stolen crypto assets and she dropped their contact information as follows
Email; Refunddpolici ATGmail Dotcom and
What sapp: (+1 605 963 9055)
I gave them a trial immediately i came across the testimony and contact details, they asked me to provide details of the said transactions and contacts of the perpetrators of such devilish act, which i did and they swung into action while recovering USD275k of my money which gave me a slight of hope and happiness as i had something to hold unto without losing everything because i gave up and was literally on the verge of giving in on ending my existence cause my husband and kids kept blaming me.
