Three Americans in a bar…?

Question by DC: Three Americans in a bar…?

Three guys go into a bar: a guy from Dallas, a guy from San Francisco, and a guy from Boulder. They drank and got a little rowdy. Suddenly, completely without warning, the Texan grabbed a bottle of tequila, unscrewed the top, took a good swig, and threw the bottle into the air. He then jerked a Colt .45 pistol out of his pocket and shot the bottle, spraying tequila all over everything and everybody.
The patrons at the bar shouted, “Hey, bud, why’d you waste that tequila?”

The Texan said, “Heck, it’s just tequila. Us Texans go across the border all the time and get all the tequila we want.”

Not to be outdone, the Californian whipped out a corkscrew and uncorked a bottle of wine. He poured some into a glass, swirled it, sniffed, commented on the tart insolence of its bouquet, sipped, tossed the bottle in the air, nicked it with a round from a silly little chrome-plated pistol, and showered a couple of patrons at the bar with wine.

The patrons, upset by the casual waste and general lack of concern for their safety, expressed their displeasure and astonishment, to which the Californian replied, “Well, I’m from Napa Valley, and we have more than enough wine where I come from.”

The Boulderite, a quiet observer up to this point, touched the crystal hanging from his neck, adjusted his Birkenstocks, flipped back his ponytail, put down his guitar, and borrowed a bottle opener from the bartender. He popped the top off a bottle of Fat Tire beer, hammered it back, threw the empty bottle into the air, pulled a 9mm Beretta, took careful aim, shot both the Californian and the Texan, and caught the falling bottle.

The patrons screamed in utter disbelief, “Why’d you do that?”

The Boulderite replied, “I’m from Colorado. We’ve already got too many Texans and way too many Californians, but glass bottles, now those can be recycled!”

Use Your Imagination to Help The Environment

You’ve installed energy-efficient lighting in your bathroom to show off your water-saving bathroom faucet. Your eco-friendly showerhead waits patiently to be used, and your dual flush toilet is the marvel of the entire bathroom.

Nothing left in the bathroom to give an environmentally friendly spin, is there? What about the sink?

One of the newest bathroom design trends is installing a recycled sink. So, what exactly are they recycled from? Think copper, concrete, glass, and car tires.

Recycled copper bathroom sinks are beginning to garner a ton of attention-and for good reason, since they’re an environmental choice as much as an aesthetic one. They’re usually going to be recycled and repurposed from other copper products, melted down, and purified into its original pure elemental state. From there, it’s hammered and shaped into a new sink.

Manufacturers like Kohler, Elkay, Native Trails, Premier Copper Products, and Belle Foret are leading the way for recycled copper sinks.

Another recyclable material for sinks is concrete. These already environmentally friendly sinks are becoming more friendly thanks to their manufacturers’ ability to reduce the carbon footprint by using around 20 to 40 percent less energy when crafting them. The manufacturers are also mixing in recycled materials like 100 percent post-consumer glass, recycled porcelain, coal fly ash, and organic compounds.

Recycled glass sinks are also becoming more common in upscale bathrooms in homes and businesses. The material seems to be more popular than ever and it’s great to see it make its way into the bathroom. Just as you might suspect, these glass sinks are made from recycled glass bottles and industrial glass from car windows and windshields. Speaking of cars…

In a category all its own is a bathroom sink called RUBBiSH that’s made entirely fromrecycled rubber tires. After the rubber from tires is melted down and purified of debris, the tire’s metal fibers that provide road resistance are then formed into a sheet. Then it’s stretched over a base frame and anchored down by the drain collar to create the shallow slope for the drain.

Until next time, Happy Home Improving!

Just about anything imaginable can be recycled. Either through government programs, paid companies or for personal use, the options for recycling are amazing. Since the beginning of time, people have been junking up the environment with their garbage. Recycling is a way to stop the trend and reuse items that don’t really need to go to waste.

When it comes to recycling, there are some considerations. Since some items can be recycled for use by companies to make new products, it’s not a bad idea to look into government recycling programs to assist in this effort. And while some communities have mandatory recycling, others do not. No matter where a person lives, however, there are ways to get involved in recycling.

Here are some ideas of how to recycle regular household garbage:
* Cans, bottles, plastics, papers. All of these things are generally accepted by curb side recycling services. Many cities and county governments across America and in other countries require recycling and make the effort fairly easy for their residents to take part in. Glass, too, is sometimes taken by these services. In many cases, special tubs or bags will be required to make the recyclables stand out from the garbage and some sorting and cleaning might be needed, too. All in all though, these services do make it easier to help the environment.
* Composting. A compost bin in a backyard is a great way to put organic waste to good use. There’s no reason to throw out food products and so on when they can serve as a rich fertilizer for trees and plants.
* Tires. Some communities offer tire recycling services. The rubber from the treads can be reused for a number of things. Perhaps one of the most interesting is for playground matting to protect young children from dips, falls and tumbles.
* Boxes, bags and so on. The things gifts and packages tend to come in generally can be stored and used again. Why spend on a gift bag when you got 10 for Christmas and they’re all in good working order? There’s no need to throw these things away when they can come in handy down the road for other occasions.
* Metal scraps. Some industrial recycling sites take metals other than aluminum. Copper, for example, can be worth a pretty penny, too. Check with local recycling places to see what’s accepted and what’s not before driving around to dump off a load. When dealing with wires, such as copper, most places will require the insulation be stripped first, too.
* Soup cans, toilet paper and paper towel rolls and so on. These things are loved by local elementary school art teachers. Even things like tissue boxes, baby food jars and beyond can be used in arts and crafts projects. Check with your local school to see if they need any of these items before you throw them in the trash or consider creating your own projects at home with the little ones.

With a little imagination and some persistence almost anything that’s not dangerous can be recycled. For those things that are pretty basic and routine, many communities offer free recycling services and for those that don’t, there are commercial locations. Depending on what’s being recycled, a person who does the leg work can even get paid.
