Why, you- June 19, 2008 Most places I&39;ve seen that take cardboard will refuse pizza boxes. Why, you may ask Because pizza boxes are always contaiminated with oil, which screws up the shredders, and also messes with the consistency of paper pulp produced by the grinders. If there are places taking your cardboard with pizza boxes intermingled, one hopes they have staff paid to watch the line and pick out such items to discard them, as they add nothing worthwhile to the recycled paper stream.http://rss.iscabbs.com/getpost.cgi?forum=148&post=2351 (Gespalder2350) - More places in Bonner Springs and Kansas City, Kansas are eligible for curbside- June 19, 2008 More places in Bonner Springs and Kansas City, Kansas are eligible for curbside recycling.

I have seen books in paper recycling.http://rss.iscabbs.com/getpost.cgi?forum=148&post=2350 (Knightshade2349) - Hey, I find kids as annoying as the next guy, but if demand were the main- June 18, 2008 Hey, I find kids as annoying as the next guy, but if demand were the main source of oil pricing it&39;d be $60 a barrel, not $135.http://rss.iscabbs.com/getpost.cgi?forum=148&post=2349 (Capa2348) - The fact that a family has four kids is part of the reason oil is becoming more- June 18, 2008 The fact that a family has four kids is part of the reason oil is becoming more expensive. More people, more drivers, more oil used, demand goes up. The U.S. has over 300,000,000 people in it now. The world has just under 7,000,000,000. All those people need energy.http://rss.iscabbs.com/getpost.cgi?forum=148&post=2348 (Tom Brady2346) - Motorcycle with a papoose is the earth-friendly way to go.- June 18, 2008 Motorcycle with a papoose is the earth-friendly way to go.http://rss.iscabbs.com/getpost.cgi?forum=148&post=2346 (Egregious2347) - And it's gonna take 10 years for new drilling to actually generate oil,- June 18, 2008 And it&39;s gonna take 10 years for new drilling to actually generate oil, whether we&39;re talking about ANWR or offshore drilling. I&39;m not saying this to mean that we shouldn&39;t do it; just to give a sense of how long it&39;ll take to bring new stuff online. You can get a sense of when how much new supply will be available here: http:en.wikipedia.orgwikiOil_Megaprojectshttp://rss.iscabbs.com/getpost.cgi?forum=148&post=2347 (Egregious2345) - Minivans are extremely efficient transportation, in dollars per- June 18, 2008 Minivans are extremely efficient transportation, in dollars per person-mile.
