Mining Industry Boosts Australian Dollar

In a world where every nation is hit and is suffering from the global financial crisis, back home in Australia, there are a few industries which seem to be continually growing and doing much better in this economy than everyone else: engineering construction, including mining and related structures. Private capital expenditure rose by 12.3%, and this year “building and structures” is up 39.5% from last year. This is being spearheaded by the boom in resources, and just the mining capital expenditures are up 67% from last year. The Australian government expects the value of civil engineering and construction to increase by 29% this year, and by 23.5% next year. These are phenomenal numbers which have helped Australia to use her one flourishing resource, engineering construction and specifically, mining, to boost and stabilize the Australian dollar. Compared with November, the AUD is up 5.4% against the USD, 5.93% against the JPY, and 4.24% against the EUR. This is due to strong investment data coming in regarding the AUD. Copper and zinc are almost up by ten percent, which further increases mining interests. However, the rise in the value of the AUD may be due to limited supply of these other resources, like copper and zinc. The more limited the supply, the more value that material possesses.

In any area which is remaining strong during a shaky economic transition, private capital expenditure increases, and government subsidies tend to increase as well. In fact, these strong and resilient industries tend to be where individuals gather to find jobs, maintain job security, and where they build economic growth centers, such as cities, in order to keep that production high. That “building and structures” could have such a positive influence on the perceived value and strength of the Australian dollar is incredible. Any private investor or investment firm who sees this and realises it will be interested in sinking further capital into these industries or specific businesses, which will further stimulate the Australian economy and further increase the value of the AUD.

Eco friendly companies are also holding sway over the public with reduced pricing and better quality products. Envirosafe Solutions offers many products, including drain and waste odour control, lubricants and radiator liquids which are all earth friendly. Call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Irrigation Or Rivers?

Elders dismissed a draft plan outlined to return 2750 billion litres of irrigation water to the river system, saying that the draft plan was not concrete, was not transparent, and was lacking in balance and detail. Senator Hanson-Young has input with the idea of getting 4000 billion litres of water returned to the rivers through buybacks rather than efficiency upgrades in the irrigation infrastructure. Malcolm Jackman of Elders stated that buybacks would hurt the irrigators and damage Murray-Darling basin production, and indicated that discussions are not closed and that he is not a spokesman for big business, but that the proposed draft plan was insufficient and unclear enough to warrant dismissal. The objective viewpoint seems to be that if a more complete, more goal-oriented draft plan was presented to him, he may agree to it, but that the one presented to him was lacking in enough basic detail to determine whether or not that draft plan would be appropriate for their needs.

When channeling water and drawing it away from its source for purposes like irrigation and area development, it must be carefully planned either way. All sides and possible outcomes must be researched, tested and considered. A draft plan must include all possible research data concerning current irrigation needs and river conditions, as well as all possible outcomes which would present a win-win situation. In this type of scenario, simply being excited about an idea and presenting it for approval may not be enough. The people to whom you are presenting this information may be a great deal more knowledgeable about current conditions in both areas and informed as to what strategies would be most likely to work. Not only would a draft plan have to be completely exhaustive and comprehensive on all subjects concerned, but it would have to be presented professionally, in such a way that it is easy to see that all possible problems and issues had been thought of and addressed.

It is important to conserve water, while using it for the most productive purposes when we do have it available to us.

Further Visual Research Needed for Global Warming

United Nations talks are being stirred to action concerning global warming and a call to action is agreed upon by many nations, except for the U.S., China and India. Snow melting and ecological change in the Himalayan Mountains has not been properly documented and these nations are wanting further proof of and description of the problem before they enter into negotiations and agreements on calls to action. Japan and Canada state that their current agreements on reducing carbon emissions are not up for amendment and that they are sticking happily with what they agreed to previously. The target of scientists is to reach the global peak of 2C temperature above the pre industrial era by 2020. Many people are concerned that, unless these pledges are tightened and cut down even more, these temperatures and emissions will not peak in time and that this may have long term consequences for the planet as a whole, destroying many ecological systems in the process.

Scientists have been called in to present their data and it is speculated that around seventy-four percent of global warming since 1950 has been due to factors caused by humans. Over 54,000 glaciers have been identified largely due to satellite imagery, but only ten of these have been studied and observed continually for a long period of time. More visual representation must be obtained in order to fully understand how this global warming is affecting our planet, from the glaciers to the mountaintops. Several nations are reluctant to commit to a specific pledge for emissions control for several reasons. First of all, until they are presented with data which concretely assures them that they, indeed, can realistically achieve these goals, they are likely to be reluctant to make rash promises one way or the other. Second, due to dust particles in the air reflecting some energy back out into space rather than allowing it to reach the earth, some feel that this needs to be carefully researched to more fully determine what changes are caused by human impact and what changes would have occurred anyway.

The protection of our planet and its vast and complex eco systems inspires us to find safe and earth friendly ways to go about our daily lives. Call Envirosafe Solutions today to find out more about our eco friendly products including, biodegradable fuel treatments, degreasers, and disinfectants. Call us now: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Flooding in Queensland

Queensland is still reeling from the double hit it received earlier this year with Hurricane Yasi and incredibly massive flooding. As with all victims who are still recovering from a massive catastrophe like this for some time afterward, they can feel as if the excitement and the help have worn off and that they are left to fend for themselves. In addition to this, frustration is quite high in the hearts of Queenslanders who felt that they should be back on their feet by now and returning to their normal daily lives. The Salvation Army is helping so many survivors cope with initial feelings of high irritation at the slowness of their own steady but gradually moving progress. Survivors are given good counseling, which helps when they are surrounded by incomplete lives and remaining pictures and memories of good lives which they have lost. In addition to this, victims are given free motivational and inspirational DVDs which depict other survivors of catastrophes who lost loved ones at crucial and important moments in their lives and still pulled through and put their lives back together. Now that rescue efforts and rebuilding efforts are running at full pace and now that citizens are as yet unable to recapture the lives they once had, the best way to pass the time in between these two goals is to improve and maintain community morale. Morale can be the deciding factor between quick and hardy success and failing and struggling to get back on your feet.

Morale is key in many important parts of your life. Without it, you may physically and emotionally be capable of accomplishing tasks, but you don’t really believe that you can. In fact, morale has contributed to incredibly impossible self rescue stories from individuals who just would not give in and would not allow themselves to become victims. When looking at the current condition of our planet and feeling even the slightest bit of fear for our future on this earth, it can become quite easy to lose morale. However, innovative, eco friendly, low emission companies are being created and are thriving because of visionaries who refuse to see anything else but hope.

Droughts and Floods Affect Women First

In a majority of developing countries, women are responsible for meeting household needs, providing water, and watering and irrigating their small farmlands over which they have control. Unlike men in these countries, women do not always have access to information and resources which will help them meet climate and environmental changes. The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women seeks to empower women and implement change by making their communities more aware of their lack of resources and how their proper stewardship of those resources would bring in more income and more growth in their land.

Many times, in these developing countries, women are left completely out of the decision making process, even though they are responsible for running and maintaining their households and keeping food on the table for their children. Agricultural development and preparedness for changes in climate or their environment should be a big part of their lives, and the UNEGEEW is part of that solution. When communities are informed of how they can exploit these wonderful female resources and the knowledge and expertise which these women possess, they can learn and use gender equality to their own advantage. In this way, ecological and environmental issues sometimes cross paths with women’s rights issues. Both genders should be free to determine how to appropriately prepare for flooding or drought conditions. However, when around two thirds of the illiterate adulthood in developing countries are women, and the ability to read is part of the global change and preparedness for emergency conditions, the gender inequality becomes glaringly obvious. When these women are able to match their knowledge of alternative methods of crop and food protection with the ability to read and write, as well as the ability to determine decisions made in their own community, they enable everyone, both men and women, to protect their assets, their agricultural development, and their water supplies during accidents or negative circumstances caused by nature. While these women are still held back from their full potential, these communities are not reaping the full benefit of their expertise. And that is costly.

Creating Your Own Garden Compost

Creating your own garden compost is a wonderful way to add to your environment, maintain eco friendly viability and to continue sustainability on our planet. In a recent article by Bonnie Grant, she describes how compost is a living organism which contains both nutrition and aeration. You must be very careful in maintaining this good supplementation to your garden. Not many gardeners take composting seriously, but it must be remembered that refined, sifted or thinned soil of any kind contains less bacteria, fewer organisms, and less decomposition. It is this rotting, moisture, decay, and breakdown of organic material which adds nutrition and “spices” to the food of the plant. The best compost provides the best food for your plants. This is why it is such a good idea to reuse unprocessed plant materials and return them to the ground in the agricultural industry. All breakdown of organic matter is beneficial to your crops, but breakdown of specific plants will return that same plant nutrition to the ground to help fuel the next crop of the same or similar plants. The entire process is highly self sufficient and, more importantly, it uses all parts of the organic decay in the growth process. Nothing is wasted or un-reusable, which is the entire basis for our current eco friendly movement.

Creating your own garden compost can be as simple as turning your composter over every day and adding all of your kitchen scraps to the compost in order to keep a balanced salad of decay, or it can be as complex as planning what chemistry you want to feed your plants or what will go best with them, then planning what type of decay and organic materials should be in your compost, putting in the appropriate worms to facilitate the decomposition, and even purchasing a special composter which will keep everything moist but still aerated and loose at all times. Whether it is for your own garden, for a city-wide flower operation, or for something a bit more widespread, decay needs to be rich and varied, and the soil should be both loose and moist. It is only with the correct amount of moisture that decay can be achieved.

Envirosafe Solutions offers Soil Wetta and dust suppressant for your agricultural or gardening needs, and all of our products are eco friendly. Call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Carbon Emissions Temporarily Increase in U.K.

In the U.K., household energy bills may rise in the near future, as the big six energy suppliers are receiving government subsidies for gas power, and as the alternative energy sources had their government subsidies cut in half. This may put the goal of a cleaner, greener U.K. on hold for a few more months or years. One of the reasons why the government is withdrawing funding for wind and solar energy and sinking it back into petroleum based energy is that the energy plants for gas power only take 18 months to build. Ministers are concerned that quite a few coal fired power plants will be shut down and that there will be a gap between the need for energy and the actual amount of electricity available. The gas power plants which only take 18 months to build will be springing up all around the country in time for any energy needs which should arise, and of course not neglecting the government’s goal to continue building solar and wind powered energy and to be cleaner in the future. While the projected goals of building alternative fuel sites are now delayed, they are not dismissed and will simply be pushed back and set behind the goal of making sure that enough energy is quickly made available.

Gas power stations are also attempting to lobby as alternative fuel sources, since gas emissions only produce one half of the carbon footprint that coal fire plants produce. This attempt, however, is being ridiculed by both environmentalist groups and non-ecologically aware groups and it may be only be successful insofar as the plants are still easy and quick to set up. After all, 18 months is not very long and it would bridge the gap between potential needs and current supply of energy. It is an interesting development which can be looked at from many different angles.

In the meantime, Envirosafe Solutions offers heavy duty cleaner/degreaser, fuel treatments and corrosion treatments which are all environmentally safe and biodegradable. While energy concerns are being dealt with, we can make sure that your home and office and jobsites are all clean and safe with earth friendly products. Call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Below Par Eco Friendly Services

We have all been burned by trying out a new product which claims to be both effective and environmentally friendly and which is not effective at all. Unfortunately, in the efforts to be eco friendly adopted during the 90’s, we have grown in knowledge of product development, but not necessarily that fast. For this reason, something known as “greenwashing” has become the public norm, although it is quickly falling into social condemnation because of its reputation. Greenwashing means that a company either pretends that their product or service is eco friendly when it is not, or when a company sells technically environmentally friendly products or services, but those which are also very ineffective in doing the job which they were bought to do. Being correctly eco friendly means that you have to have a product or service which does actually protect our earth, is actually biodegradable and sustainable, and which does actually fully perform the task which it is advertised to perform. Any letdown of these three standards, and your “green” company is “greenwashing” their services. Unfortunately, enough of us have been burned by this false advertising that we tend to think of ecologically safe services or products as not being very effective or reliable or accurate at all, and of harsh chemical solutions as being a necessary evil in taking care of our daily tasks. So is there a way around this problem? Indeed, there is.

One of the best ways you can check a company out is to investigate their products and make sure, before you buy, that your purchase comes with a money back guarantee. If it does not and you are stuck with your wholesale purchase of ineffective cleaning products or fuel treatments, then that is a waste of your money and a poor way of doing business on their part. Avoid “greenwashing,” and check out our site to see all of the many hand cleaners, disinfectants, and corrosion treatments which we have available, along with our 30 day money back guarantee on your purchase. We would love to hear from you. Call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Safety for Children in the Hotel/Hospitality Industry

If your customers are your most prized possession, and they should be, you can bet that their children are their most prized possession. This is why you should pay special attention to the cleaning products you use in your hotel or restaurant or family resort. We may know that certain surfaces, such as the underside of tables and the bathroom floor, are off limit to touch, but our little ones love to explore and touch and taste everything. Not only could they be exposed to unclean or germ-ridden areas, but they could also come in contact with residue from harsh chemical solvents and cleaners. Envirosafe Solutions offers environmentally friendly liquids for your hotel or hospitality needs.

Let’s face it: children are likely to crawl around on the floor, lick the side of the bathtub or bathroom wall, or play with their toys in creative areas which are normally off limit to adults. Your cleaning staff at your hospitality business must keep every nook and cranny spotless for this reason. Unfortunately, they may be using acidic disinfectants or harsh degreasers and this can be dangerous to the health of children who come in contact with even a small amount of left over residue. Isn’t it crucial that you only use child-safe, eco friendly cleaning products in your business?

Sometimes, areas of a hotel or spa are off limits to children. They can still obtain chemicals, not thinking anything of the danger, from your housekeeping or cleaning service when your employees make their rounds. Children often like to experiment with different colors and fluids, so the bottles on a cleaning cart may appear innocent enough to their young eyes. Make sure that they are innocent enough by only using Extreme Green glass cleaner, rust remover, degreaser, laundry products, toilet bowl cleaner, and disinfectants. We carry a wide range of housekeeping supplies which are safe, eco friendly, and will not have long term health effects on the children of your customers. We are ideal for the hotel and hospitality industries because we carry everything from bathroom and glass cleaners to paint and crayon removers.

Children are our future. Reducing waste on our planet is also part of our future. Keep both resources safe and protected by calling Envirosafe Solutions today, and asking us about our products for the hospitality industry: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Psycho-analytics of the Green Mind

You might be wondering how much environmentally friendly products are actually chosen by the consumer. Though eco friendly products have been marketed for over two decades, they have only recently begun to be widely accepted. Why is this?

Two studies researching behavioral patterns and reactions and consumer interaction with the eco friendly trade indicate that the concept was just too new. Although just about everyone was aware of the increasing deficiencies in environmental ethics, everyday consumers still used other factors added to environmentally friendly products to make their purchase decisions. Interestingly enough, the intent of both of these studies was to find out how much eco friendly characteristics of consumer products affected buying decisions, and the expectation was that the behavioral results would greatly assist marketing directors and advertising pools, but this was not the case.

Both of these studies were conducted in the late nineties, and you can see that the eco friendly nature of even the most insignificant, non-productive consumer product is of importance today, more than a decade later. Wealthy middle class and upper class households pride themselves on being able to afford the more expensive, more “alternative” methods of production. Government agencies with plenty of money to spend and no other goal in spending it than to preserve the self sufficiency of our planet are very interested in environmental safety and personal human safety. Regulations require the mining and transportation industries to conduct environmentally friendly business and this is a positive influence, since it would bring about greater consumer support.

Interestingly enough, eco friendly products are already priced similarly to non-green products. Businesses, like Envirosafe Solutions, which seek a competitive advantage look for ways to match competitors’ rates while remaining environmentally friendly. When this is the case, it is always good to see if they offer a money-back guarantee. Many consumers have been disillusioned by the fact that startup or early market eco friendly products are not as effective as their harsh chemical counterparts.

Envirosafe Solutions offers a full 30-day money-back guarantee and you have nothing to lose by testing out our completely eco friendly line of industrial cleaning products, fuel treatments, and soil treatments. Our prices are similar to those of our non-green competitors, and industries which are criticized for “perpetuating the petroleum business” are in need of some safe marketing deterrents.

Mining Industry Still Receiving Bad Press

The Association of Mining and Exploration Companies launched an advertisement campaign and already it is being thwarted by Lyne MP, Robert Oakeshott. He claims that the mining industry is “crying poor” amid a multimillion dollar advertising campaign, and that their voices will only generate newspaper revenue, but very little sympathy. The mining industry as a whole is sometimes given a bad rap because of external and incomplete impressions of industry practices, including impressions about their non-eco friendly practices or use of fuels. This is unfortunate, since mining companies everywhere contribute a great deal to our planet’s resources and to the health and wellbeing of citizens everywhere. What are some things that they could do to “clean up” their image?

Perhaps they could drop the justification act. If someone becomes defensive against an accusation, no matter how inaccurate the accusation may be, they are immediately tagged as “guilty” by casual observers. It is generally presumed that innocent people will not feel the need to defend themselves, since they have nothing to hide. Unless mining companies are practicing illicitly, in which case they would be found out anyway, they have nothing to hide and it may be in their best interests to refrain from “justifying” their actions.

Perhaps they could advertise better use of sustainable products. In all areas of mining, there are ways in which eco friendly products or actions can be utilized to promote sustainability. The earth is still giving up great amounts of resources for which we are mining, but bad press often follows poor environmental practices, or impressions of such. This means that the mining industry may find it useful to advertise environmentally friendly steps which they are taking.

Perhaps they could simply change their former industry standards. Since it is required to use earth friendly products and practices, it would be wise to research and investigate ways to implement biodegradable product usage and to leave as small of a carbon footprint as possible. Even if this practice is done in private, the truth always comes out. Images, consumer perceptions, and reputations are all based upon the truth that “leaks” out, rather than the facts which are readily available. Simply using environmentally friendly products and practices will change mass perception of the quality of this worthy industry.

Envirosafe Solutions offers cleaning liquids, degreasers, rust converters, and lubricants, all of which are eco friendly and offered with a money back guarantee: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Looking For A New Fuel

Ever since the 1960’s, western civilization has struggled with the concept of effective and affordable alternative fuel. Many people believe that oil and petroleum products are controlled and moved by a few powerful elite groups, but the reality is that a great deal of legislature in several countries has been written to protect mass production and use of oil and petrol products, and that few engines have been created which work as well as ones based on petroleum fueled firing. Engines are complex mechanisms which require certain cohesive combinations of mechanics, ignition, and fuel burning to keep running for as long as the individual desires to leave it on. Today, we are looking for a new fuel to replace depleting oil reserves, and more importantly, we are looking for an alternative fuel which could potentially be used in the engines which we already have. As appealing as alternative fuel may be, not everyone can afford the cost of manufacturing, designing, or purchasing brand new vehicles or engines which are designed specifically for alternative fuel. In fact, a great deal of publicity has been given to the fact that some hybrid car engines are, in fact, not very cost effective and a few of them may not even by very fuel effective.

In addition to this, the public is struggling with the concept of mass distribution and who should have first access to newly developed alternative fuel. While passenger and cargo flights are already experimenting with combinations of alternative fuel and petroleum based jet fuel, regular use of alternative petrol in our own cars and trucks seems to be in the distant future, not quite within our grasp. While environmentalists have expressed concern over the effect that petroleum based fuel has on our planet, their voices may raise in greater protest if commercial flights and engines are using cheaper alternative fuel, while everyday consumers are still paying higher prices for regular petrol. This is an issue which must be handled carefully and with great aplomb, making sure that everyone receives access to better, biodegradable and sustainable fuel…preferably cheaper, too.

Long-Term Danger to Workers Using Harsh Chemical Products

When employed in an industry where high corrosives are regularly used, workers must be careful that they do not experience symptoms of long-term contact with hazardous materials. Short-term health defects can range anywhere from headaches to vomiting or falling into a comatose state. This is a result of physical contact, oral ingestion, or breathing of concentrated toxic fumes. Long-term exposure to harsh chemical compounds can lead to central nervous system damage, kidney or liver failure, cancerous tumors, chronic inflammation, and respiratory problems. This is why Envirosafe Solutions only distributes eco friendly, safe, biodegradable solvents and other cleaning products. We believe that environmentally friendly cleaning is human friendly cleaning.

Inhalation of hazardous fumes can lead to spasms in muscles surrounding the lungs, causing breathing difficulty or complete cut off of airways. Chemical pneumonia and asthma are symptoms of petrochemical inhalation. Over long periods of time, repeated exposure to petrochemicals can result in loss of coordination, loss of memory, confusion, inability to correctly process information, or chronic coughing due to depression of the central nervous system. Upper respiratory symptoms are more immediate and involve pain and coughing and hoarseness. Lower respiratory symptoms are long term, or the result of too much short term exposure to petrochemicals, and can also involve asthma or chemical pneumonia.

Pesticides and petro solvents are hazardous materials which can penetrate unbroken skin at the time of physical contact and enter the bloodstream. These chemicals are likely to reveal their presence by affecting the brain first, the respiratory system second, and the central nervous system third.

Environmentally friendly cleaning products, rust removers and converters, and dust suppressants are available and can be stored safely for long periods of time, or even indefinitely under the correct storage conditions. Rather than accidental spills or human contact causing brain damage or nervous system failures, our Extreme Green products are just as effective as their non-green counterparts, and they are biodegradable and safe to be used around all of your workers.

Your business is designed to deliver effective products and services while keeping your employees safe. Extreme Green cleaning products are designed to continue to keep your staff safe, while providing odour dissolving, degreasing action for your worksites. Call Envirosafe Solutions today and ask us for more examples of surfaces and projects on which you can use our ‘green’ cleaning: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Locally Produced Eco Friendly Fuel in Africa

It is one thing to use eco friendly fuel. It is a whole new level entirely to use locally made, eco friendly fuel. Locally made fuel is one of the biggest financial savings that a nation can utilize to fund its transportation. Not only is fuel shipped from out of the country costing non-biodegradable fuel to ship into the country, but it is also a hazard if leakage or spillage should occur. In fact, many environmental groups are zeroing in on the fact that oil rigs and petroleum based shipping accidents are causing harm to the ocean and our beloved creatures therein. This is why it is to be applauded that Zimbabwe, Africa is using 10 percent eco friendly, locally made fuel in the petrol tanks of its capital city. This project is available through the use of refurbished sugar cane fields, which is fortunate, since land is freely available for that use in their region. The project has also created over 4,500 jobs for a previously semi-poverty stricken area. Things are still in the beginning stages as motorists come to trust and rely upon the cheaper petrol for their daily needs, but supplies are well on their way to being sold in massive amounts. The price is competitive, but also the sustainability means that further innovation could produce further cuts in petrol costs.

This project is precisely why we need to make use of our innovative skills and research and develop ways to use sustainability within our planet’s eco system. This is part of other massive projects on the horizon, not only for fuel reduction, but also ideas for making completely biodegradable plastics and computer-ware. Envirosafe Solutions has joined the throng of new technological innovators in biodegradable, eco friendly product design and we offer a wide range of earth friendly degreasers, laundry products, bio waste spill kits, industrial strength cleaners, and fuel treatments. One of our top rated bargains is that everything we sell comes with a money back guarantee, so that you can try our products for yourself, without any possibility of losing money in your experimentation. We would love to teach you more about what we can do for our earth and what we can do for you. Contact us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Getting Together Over Recycling

While some companies or places of residence strongly recommend recycling individual’s waste products, not everyone does it. People who are not used to recycling, who do not think of it as important, and who believe it to be too complicated are not likely to employ recycling bins, even when they are readily available. Sometimes, it helps to find out of tenants are needing a cleaner area in which to dispose of their trash, have specific needs regarding recycling, or if they have questions about recycling different or questionable materials. Management of apartment houses and living centers should be ready to answer any questions which tenants may have concerning this, and they should also make recycling something desirable, rather than an extra burden.

Nicky Mee and Debbie Clewes performed a case study on the influence of effective corporate communication on recycling behavior. They wanted to see how corporate communication and effective management-tenant communication affected residents’ attitudes about recycling and whether or not their behavior toward recycling actually changed over time with changes in these communication strategies. The conclusion was that productive communication between corporate and management and communication between management and tenants can rapidly affect tenants’ attitudes toward recycling in general, and their own disposal habits in particular.

In advertisement, recycling is often touted as a virtue which you either possess or you don’t possess. Very little is said about how you recycle, what you recycle, what your attitude toward recycling should be, or why you may not care that much if you don’t recycle. This is very interesting, since recycling is part of planet care, and planet care is almost necessarily a social activity. Communication about recycling and discussion of that topic is more likely to increase personal interest in actually doing it. The case study by Mee and Clewes illustrates how communication and making recycling a social activity and a socially discussed activity is very likely to increase personal awareness of how positive it can be. Many people who think little of recycling do so because they do not think that their small individual contribution will make much difference. However, when they see other people doing it or talking about it, they see the contribution as much larger and more noteworthy.
