Recycling in Spore

Hai.... searching the internet for resources for recycling things. Realised that paper cannot be recycled forever, as its fiber will break after each recycling. Thus, there will be a limit till the paper fibers are too weak to be recycled. Not all plastics can be recycled, but only certain types. Only certain metals can be recycled, and they can be recycled forever, unlike paper, but i forgot wat are they already. They rest i forgot, haha.. have to go back n read. But other than that, i cant find anything local, n recycling in Spore is quite difficult.

Ever wonder y there are elderly people collecting metal cans from rubbish bins, n there are people driving ard collecting old newspapers? They are for the purpose for a livinglihood, although they are actually helping in the recycling of waste. If only people can realise that recycling can be a profitable biz also.

In tawian recently, they have a law that is punishable by fine that every household have to sort out their waste into recyclable n non-recyclable bags (if anyone seeing this feels that this is wrong, plz tell me, my info was from TVBS news, n i might heard the news anchor wrongly). I rem certain countries where people bring out their own bags when they do shopping, so they wun need to have plastic/paper bags from the retail shops. U can request bags from them, but they cost some money also. The issue is not the money, but the awareness that they are doing their part to help reduce waste in the world.

Also, i feel that there is a tendency that people feel that if they have money, they have the power to be wasteful!!!! Its a very bad habit, including wasting water, electricity, paper, natural resources..... U are wasting ur children's water, ur grandchildren's electricity, ur future generations natural resources...... i might still be 'lucky' enough have a life where petrol n fossil fuel are still available. i am not so optmistic for my children. =( By the way, i am not supporting being dependent on fossil fuel. i am all for the use of alternative energy, n renewable energy, but is there such a mkt in Spore???

When u dun save money when u save water, electricity, natural resources.... u save lives, for many future generations to come......
