A Man’s Recycling Ideas

In the United Kingdom, there is this man in the Weston province who believes that people are really wasteful but could save on a lot if they really did look at the amount of garbage that they throw out each day. In his musings, this man, Simon Kerrigan, has come up with his own ideas on how to recycle stuff in the house. One of his ideas would be to make use of bottles and then recycle them so that they could be used as bathroom tiles. How this works out, we still have no idea but I do wish him success on this one.
On recycling, Kerrigan proclaims, “We recycle most of the rubbish in our house. People do not realise that plastic bottles can be melted down to make park benches or even bathroom tiles and cardboard can be re-used for packaging.”
Kerrigan is supported on his ideas by his wife and family.

That’s great. I suspect there are more highly creative people like Simon Kerrigan, the problem is getting people to pay attention to them.
On my blog, I reported about a process to turn used disposable diapers into industrial diesel and, surprisingly, when I approached editors about an article, none of them were interested. However, if there were a military application, they would have jumped all over the idea.
Yeah! I also think there are more such people out there.
I’ll check out your blog about that. That sounds interesting.
