recycle,reuse,refurbish

Waste disposal in NJ can be used as an example of waste management across the nation. In NJ, just as elsewhere, waste is generated in all sorts of ways. Its composition and volume largely depend on consumption patterns and the industrial and economic structures in place throughout the state.

Waste disposal is best when it does not have to be done at all. The people of New Jersey are on the whole good recyclers but could give more thought to considering quantity, packaging, and how you take food home. Reduce and minimize the waste you produce is the best waste management.

Continue reading and think deeply about your wasteful habits, because we've put together suggestions to help unleash your waste disposal creativity and keep our communities great places to live.

First of all when you consider the energy market, it is preferable to incinerate waste from fossil resources, like oil for instance, to recover the energy produced, as we do in many of our state plants. Then there is a the second life of waste, which becomes a substitution fuel.

Electronic waste, colloquially known as e-waste, includes obsolete computers, monitors, cell phones, televisions, microwaves, digital cameras, portable electronic games, calculators, etc. E-waste is the fastest growing garbage stream in the world, and according to an Environmental Protection Agency estimate only 10 percent of the e-waste in the United States is recycled. This is a shame as electronics can be processed for reuse, repair, and under certain conditions recycling. Instead of which millions of tons of obsolete electronics lying where they have fallen after waste disposal in our NJ landfills.

E-waste is the fastest growing component of the municipal solid waste stream, and currently makes up five percent of all municipal solid waste. E-waste has become a really very a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life". Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products which very soon become e-waste. Many of these products could really be reused, refurbished, or recycled.

Environmental issues are much more than recycling "stuff", they're about doing without stuff, unless you're prepared to pay to keep it for many years. The people of NJ simply don't have to buy it all. If you really care about global warming, then you really do have to replace oil and coal burning power plants, with renewable fuel driven alternatives.

Using recycled materials is still not very popular in our society. The main reasons lie in the perception the average consumer has of recycled products as well as the price of recycled materials which is still too often higher than the price of raw materials. Recycling is your opportunity to keep NJ a clean and healthy place to live. It's easy, saves on waste disposal costs in your rates, saves energy and is good for the environment.

There are also many different types of recycling. Plastic and paper aren't recycled as much as "downcycled," meaning every time they are recycled they become a lower-quality product. After two or three cycles the fibre size reduces and they become unusable. Plastics are everywhere, but did you realize that they constitute as much as 13.8 pounds in an average computer.

Solid and fluid, hazardous and non-toxic wastes are generated in our households, offices, schools, hospitals, and industries. No society is immune from day-to-day issues associated with waste disposal. Solid waste is composed of such a broad array of materials discarded by households, businesses, industries, and agriculture, and the scale is massive. The United States generates more than 11 billion tons (10 billion metric tons) of solid waste each year.

Recycled products are often close to or equal in price to products made from virgin materials. Manufacturing new products from recovered materials saves resources, energy and water, while reducing air pollution and disposal costs. Recycle as much as you can, please citizens of NJ, donate computers and mobiles that work, to organizations that can use them, rather then trash them.

Buying refurbished products would also be easy on your pocket and environment. Recycling points are now found in all NJ towns and cities, as well as at public bureaus and offices. TV and print ads and campaigns have also had a positive effect, making it easier to meet our target requirements.

Finally, primary disposal of commercial waste in NJ is the responsibility of the business owner. The local authority may provide sites which business may use (for a fee) to dispose of their waste. Disposal fees vary with each facility and some facilities may pick up loads and supply drop-off boxes.

friends vs. love

It is very hard to determine when two teenage lovebirds are having a relationship that might not be puffed away by the wind of life or not. This is because these individuals are so green in the line of dating; their emotions affect their everyday reaction in the relationship. Their immaturity is one of the values that make people realize how inappropriate it is for them to start dating relationships.

They might be infatuated with each other and after the false passion has passed they are left in a quagmire because they might have thought it was true love only to be proved otherwise. The most affected people are the teenage girls because they are the one left with wounds to nurse. Wounds that might include pregnancy to think about, and if they don't abort, they could find themselves with a new status, that of a single mother. This is the greatest fear that such a group has where for instance, if they had started working, the resources might be scanty to sustain themselves, and the father might be unemployed formally and could be facing very difficult times.

The dating experiences teenagers have, can be compared to children who like others only for sometime, and then declare that they have ended the friendship after a short period of time. They would not be blamed, to them, the dating relationship is just a way of having fun, where they engage in sexual intercourse and living the way they want, or the way the expectations of the society have pegged themselves on their shoulders. Finding friendship is very easy, but finding true friendship occasioned by dating instances is the hardest thing.

It has been determined that those people who have a genuine friendship have chances of finally breaking into the world of dating with such successful vigor. If one starts on a relationship with a friendship viewpoint, and it continues to develop into something better, then you must realize how important the value of true friendship is. In fact, being friends initially means that you had some chemistry running through you that made the friendship a reality.

From that path of friendship to dating relationships, you can have a serious but fulfilling business of building up a long lasting kind of love. The relationship would then be strengthened by friendship ties that make the prevailing respect and trust run through their veins of life to make the friendship something to savor as they continue working towards, making their dating a reality.

There is nothing like true friendship, it makes life sail through with a finesse that makes many wonder what happened along the way before you became friends. What was that thing that hits you with its components which make you like each other like that? There might be nothing, might be a feeling of trust and closeness, but evidently, a dating relationship that lacks true friendship might not make it over time.

Online shopping is a multi billion industry and is continuously growing. Many people favour this type of shopping because of convenience. For shoppers who work for long hours, it would be difficult to visit a store during normal business hours. On line retailers accept orders twenty four hours a day and shoppers can simply shop from their place of convenience and whenever they have free time available. In addition, on line shopping gives the consumer the ability to compare items with an ease. This prevents the hassle of visiting different traditional stores and trying to remember details like prices and features. On line shopping is particularly useful for those with restricted mobility as they can shop with ease.

Also some of the items may only available in certain parts of country and this can make comparing items difficult for traditional shoppers. But with on line shopping it is possible not only to compare the products, but also they are able to order products from around the world. This is particularly useful to acquire hard to find items which are a regional specialty of a particular area. In most of the time the prices are cheaper if you buy on line rather than in traditional stores. Also on line shopping offers great help to those who are interested in sending gifts to friends and family members. This can save a great deal of time because they can have the gift shipped directly to your friend or family member as opposed to buying the gift and then have to wrap them and shipping it.

A problem of on line shopping is encountering misleading product information or shopper buying a wrong item. The simplest solution is to contact the customer service to verify whether or not the product for sale will suit your needs. Carefully read the fine print before you make a purchase. These include information such as product description, payment options, cost of the product, taxes and shipping and return policy. Another problem with on line shopping is slow internet connection or a web site loading very slowly. Most of the reputable on line retailers have dedicated servers with less than ten second loading time.--Raje Jawa

Shopping on the Internet can be economical, convenient, and no less safe than shopping in a store or by mail.

8 Tips for Shopping Online Safely

1. Don't leave the computer unsupervised while shopping online. Pay the safest way. It's best to use a credit card, especially when your purchasing something that will be delivered later, because under federal law you can dispute the charges if you don't get what you were promised.

2. Print and save records of your online transactions.

3 Log out properly at the end of a transaction. Make sure you can contact them if the order goes wrong,
and that they have an after sales policy.

4. Check out unfamiliar sellers with the Better Business Bureau and your state or local consumer protection agency. You also have dispute rights if there are unauthorized charges on your credit card, and many card issues have zero liability policies under which you pay nothing if someone steals your credit card number and uses it.

5. Never enter your personal information in a pop-up screen. Legitimate companies don't ask for personal information via pop-up screens. Install pop-up blocking software to avoid this type of scam. There is no general three-day cancellation right, but you do have the right to reject merchandise if it's defective or was misrepresented.

6. Install spyware and antivirus software to help ensure that your computer is protected from hackers and advertisers, who want to collect your private information. I recommend using Spyware Doctor, which is highly rated for finding spyware, viruses and roolkits.

7. Do not download files from unsolicited emails. If you receive an email, with an attachment, from somebody familiar, contact them, and ask if the file was sent by them before downloading.

8. Never provide your social security number to an online retailer. Your social security number is never required to purchase an item.--Steven Dohrm

There is a natural progression that takes place within the context of the helping relationship. This process enables you and the person you are working with to build a relationship, assess the situation, set goals and come up with a plan to bring about your desired results. This progression is known as the counseling process. There are four stages of the counseling process. They are: developing a relationship, making an informed assessment, establishing mutually agreed upon goals and objectives and developing an implementation plan.

Phase 1. Developing A Relationship

In order to develop positive helping relationships with youth, you’ve got to be able to connect with them. This can only happen when youth are made to feel like you genuinely care about their well-being and that you understand where they are coming from. It’s about behaving in a way that demonstrates the core conditions of genuineness, respect and empathy.
To develop solid relationships with youth, you need to create a safe environment where young people will feel comfortable enough to open up to you and talk to you about anything that is on their minds. You also need to help youth see that despite their circumstances they have strengths. In short, you should start things off from a strengths-based perspective.

Questions to Consider When Trying to
Develop A Relationship

· In what ways can you build better relationships with the youth in your program?

· If there are youth who are not actively engaged, what can you do differently to engage them?

· If a youth is resistant, what steps can you take to reduce resistance?

· What worked in the past with resistant youth?

· How do you know when you’ve built a solid relationship with a youth? Could you use these indicators to strengthen your relationships with other youth?

Phase 2. Making An Informed Assessment

An informed assessment happens when both you and the youth gather information in order to figure out what’s “really” going on so that you can assess what needs to happen next in order to change the situation for the better or build up the youth’s coping skills to better deal with a problematic situation. The first step in making an assessment is to find out if change is necessary, and if it is what needs to happen for change to take place. If you have determined that change is necessary, then the next step is to figure out what needs to change. Is it a behavior? An attitude? A situation?

A good assessment can provide an opportunity for a young person to see how his/her behavior or attitude might be contributing to an undesirable or unhealthy situation. Assessment is an ongoing process. You need to regularly check in with your youth to see how things are going. Reassessments enable you to ensure that you and the youth are on the right track.

How do you gather information in order to make an informed assessment? You can gather information in a number of ways: talking with youth, observing the youth’s behavior and interactions, discussions with other people who are involved in the young person’s life, and reading any documented information on the young person. Keep in mind that when utilizing someone else’s verbal or written report as a source of background information, you run the risk of subjecting yourself to their biases and assumptions.

Points to Keep In Mind When Making An Assessment

· Be aware of your biases and how they impact on the assessments you make.

· Involve youth in the assessment process.

· Don’t rely on one single source to make an assessment, gather as much information as you can from a variety of sources.

· Don’t automatically label a behavior as dysfunctional because you don’t understand it, or it is not germane to your culture.

· Make sure to point out a young person’s strengths even when addressing problematic behavior.

Phase 3. Establishing Mutually Agreed Upon Goals and Objectives

Why is it important to establish “mutually agreed” upon goals and objectives? Because if a young person is in agreement with the goals then he/she is more likely to follow through on them. When a youth is actively involved in the goal setting process and is in agreement with the goals, then he/she is more inclined to take ownership of the goals. What are goals? Goals are broad statements that identify what you want to accomplish. Think of goals as the end result that you are trying to achieve. While goals are broad statements that identify what you want to accomplish overall, objectives are the measurable steps that you take to achieve your goals. For example if you have a goal that states, “youth will be better able to manage her anger.” One of your objectives might be, “youth will recognize emotional triggers that lead to angry outbursts and use positive, self-talk to calm herself down.” Your objectives should always be concrete and measurable. They should also be derived from the overall goal.

Questions to Consider When Developing

Goals and Objectives

· What do you and the young person want to achieve?

· How are you going to achieve it?

· When do you want to achieve your stated goal?

· What obstacles do you anticipate?

· How will you address these obstacles?

· How will you use to measure and monitor progress?

· Are your goals realistic?

Phase 4. Implementation Plan

The implementation plan is a plan that you and the youth work on together. It is designed to prevent, intervene, or address unhealthy behaviors and practices. The implementation plan identifies who will perform the activities, where the activities will occur, how frequently they will occur, how they will be carried out and when they will be carried out. Implementation activities are designed to help individuals re-think risky behavior, work through problematic issues, address unhealthy lifestyles practices, learn new skills and build strengths. Implementation activities can include: counseling, crisis intervention, training and education, supportive services, concrete services and constructive use of free time.

As you can see, each stage of the counseling process builds upon the former. As you move through each stage, you will come to realize that it takes patience and practice to counsel youth effectively, but if you are committed to the goal you’ll do just fine. You may not feel completely confident in your ability as a counselor, but as you expand your knowledge base, gain more experience and strengthen your helping skills, you will become a more effective counselor.

Making your own repairs to your home saves you time, worry and money, but you must not overlook some safety concerns when performing these repairs. Below, we list some simple safety tips for homeowners that will be making their own diy home repairs.

Heating and Cooling Repairs:

Always make sure that capacitors are discharged thoroughly when working on the electrical service box of an air conditioning or heating unit. Capacitors may still hold an electrical charge with enough electricity to kill a person even with the power turned off.

If you're working around gas lines, make sure not to damage them, as a gas leak make allow gas to build up and cause an explosion in your home. If you do damage a gas line, remove your family and yourself from the home immediately and call 911 to report the gas leak. A gas leak is definitely an emergency and requires quick action.

Electrical Repairs:

Always turn off electricity to the circuit you're working on. Never attempt for a moment to make a repair with electricity running through the circuit or it may be the last repair you'll ever make.

Remove jewelry, such as watches and necklaces when working around electricity. Try to always keep the odds in your favor. A dangling piece of metal touching a live circuit has the potential to draw electrical current right through your body.

Unless you really know what you're doing, do not work on any part of the circuit box in your home. Unless electricity has been turned off to the circuit box from outside the home, there is still electrical current running to the main circuit breaker. Even with the main turned off, there is still current running to the main switch.

Never work with electrical cords that are standing in water. The cord may have a break in the insulation surrounding the wire and cause serious electrical shock.

Plumbing Repairs:

When working on plumbing lines or plumbing fixtures in your home, make sure that the valve is closed to the line or fixture you'll be repairing. Some fixtures such as the bathroom toilet have their own cut-off valves, but even these are sometimes prone to failure.

Water traps in plumbing waste lines are designed to hold water that prevents sewer gases from entering the home. Sewer gases can build up quickly in a home when repairing waste lines where the trap has been removed. Always cover any waste lines completely where a trap has been removed temporarily.

When using caustic drain cleaners, be very careful if they do not unclog the drain. The drain cleaners will still be in the water and use of a plunger or other tool may splash the drain cleaner into your eyes or on your skin causing serious harm.
