I’ve been fascinated with “The Life Cycle” — how nature recycles biomatter, ecosystems, etc. When we produce our many products of convenience, we break that cycle.

It’s good to see some effort to somehow try and put those consumed products back into its own cycle, such as what you mentioned, and things like old tires becoming padding in children’s playgrounds.

Recycling, a subject near and dear to my heart. Plastics get used way too much. The photos in the link are amazing. Who knew?

I saw a show on The Big Idea, with Donny Deutsch where this manufacture of a biodegradable lawn fertilizer uses recycled plastic bottles in which to package their products. I thought that was a great idea.

To me, it’s always been interesting to read or hear things that illustrate abstract information. I’ve always found those types of illustrations really helpful to fully grasp the concept.

As for cellphones, it’s amazing how common they are. And so cheap, too, since carriers are able to make their money back with long-term contracts and early termination fees.

I think if a effort is made, a phone manufacturer can probably come up with a (near?) fully recyclable phone.

So basically, any business that could find suitable alternatives would appeal to those who care about the environment.

I wonder if cell phones could be made from something that was less harmful?
