What is the best course of action to take when beginning to recycle?
I want to start recycling everything that I use but don’t know how to go about sticking to it.. sorting the different types of things.. how to know where to take them .. etc
& What would be a good way to begin a recycling program at your apartment complex & or job?
How well would getting different trash cans for home work?
What is a good way to recycle my plastic shower curtain?
Its an okay shower cutain besides the small minute tears by the magnets on the bottom, its molding easily & I don’t want to just throw it away b/c I don’t even know if it can be recycled at the Recycling Centers…
Anybody got any ideas on what I can do with it?

Read MoreHow confident are you in the accuracy of climate models?
Do you think they’re generally accurate? Worthless? On what do you base this conclusion?
Here is one scientist’s take:
Many of the comments to previous blogs have stated that models are “just” a set of assumptions, and that the processes in the Earth’s climate are so complex that they defy our attempts to model them with any rigor. There are assumptions that are made when models are built, but those assumptions are not simply pulled out of a bag of magic tricks. In fact, arbitrary, unjustified assumptions are generally repelled from the modeling community because, first and foremost, the models need to describe some set of observations and the evolution of those observations, i.e. prediction. Most components of models are, just like my original modeling efforts, a representation of mathematical equations that rigorously describe the motion of the atmosphere. The idea that I and my colleagues would work from some potpourri of unjustified assumptions is, in fact, a bit offensive.
