There seems to be so much confussion about the economy. Well lets look at some things. Why is the economy as bad as it is? It really does't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
America is in the worse condition of any industrialized country.
We have no health care system, over seventy-five percent of its' citizens have no health insurance coverage.
Automobile companies are going under, because they refused to down-size automobiles to save gas, and the enviornment.
I can't buy a pair of underwear thats made in America.
Every thing has been out sourced to China. Major companies are allowing companies in China to use shoddy materials, but still charge extravagant prices here in the US.
I was watching the news one evening last winter, and a young Chinese man was upset with Americans, because they weren't buying enough shower curtains, so he had to move back to the country side with his family, because the plant he worked in, closed. All I could think of, "he's got a lot of nerve". I have a shower curtain that was made in China,and the word bastard is written all ove it, but disguised, you have to pay close attention.
Nothing they do to products that are shipped to the US is accidental, It is done on purpose, because they don't care about us. This is what americans need to start realizing, and take their destiny into their own hands.
If you have to give a little more for American made goods, so what, the quality is better.
Why use products made from recycled rubber?
1: Products made from recycled rubber are resilient, cost effective to other materials.
2: Tire recycling keeps 200 million discarded tires out of US landfills and promotes the greening of America.
3. Made under the red white and blue. Recycling is more than dropping off cans, bottles, and newspapers at the nearest recycling center. Diverting recyclables from the waste system is the first of three steps in the recycling process. The second step occurs when companies use these recyclables to manufacture new products. The third step occurs when the consumer purchases the products from the recovered materials.
Buying recycled products supports local recycling programs, creates new jobs,helps strenghten the economy, conserves natural resources, saves energy, and reduces solid waste, air, and water pollutants, and greenhouse gases.
Passchal bags are made from tractor inner tubes
that are collected from tire centers in Virginia, Ohio and Georgia.
The markings on inner tubes are so vast in their design that no two bags are alike.
All leathers used are by-products, vegetable dyed and chrome free.
Bags have an interior LED light that shuts off automatically.
Tire dumps provide excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and elevated incidents of mosquito-borne diseases have been noted near large tire piles.
Tire pile fires have been an even greater environmental problem. Tire pile fires can burn for months, sending up an acrid black plume that can be seen for dozens of miles. That plume contains toxic chemicals and air pollutants, just as toxic chemicals are released into surrounding water supplies by oily runoff from tire fires. Fighting a tire pile fire is not only futile in some cases, it can actually make the pollution problem worse.
Tires are often tied together and tossed in the ocean not as waste, but to create artificial reefs as habitat for game fish for recreational anglers. Hurricane Bonnie tore up one such reef in 1998 and scattered the remains on beach at Pine Knoll Shores, NC. (Philadelphia Inquirer August 29, 1998)
Scrap tires were commonly recycled until the 1960s, when cheap foreign oil and difficulty shredding steel-belted tires shifted the short-term economic benefits squarely on the side of tire disposal.
