[I574]Italian Way Of Life
by Bob Carper, Bob
Recycling has become a necessary way of life. It is just as easy to throw out to trash materials that can just as easily be recycled. The question is, who is going to be the one that does it? The answer is simple enough. Just hold up a mirror in front of your face. That is the person in charge of recycling in your household.

What gets recycled? There are four basic recyclable materials. These are paper, glass, aluminum, and plastic.

Let's look at paper first. Most recycling centers accept all paper products. Put all your newspapers into a daily collection bin. You can start by reducing the amount of paper that comes in to our house. Cancel any unnecessary subscriptions to newspapers and magazines. Do you really need the newspaper if you don't read it as soon as it comes in?

You can cut down on your junk mail by putting up huge signs on your mailbox. Recycle things like envelopes, packing material, etc. Print both sides of the paper and whenever you can use recycled paper.

Expended dry cell batteries are hazardous to the environment. They leach chemicals into the soil. Make sure you don't put hem into the garbage as they contain harmful metals.. There are a number of places that pick up batteries for recycling. Find out is there is one near your home. You could call your local county government council to inquire. If possible, use rechargeable batteries so that you don't have to keep discarding them as soon as their charge is gone.

Make sure you are careful if you are handling broken glass. Most county recycle programs have blue bins to recycle glass. If you are putting glass into a general recycle bin provided by the council, just check whether they accept broken glass because some do not. Clean out all the glass articles before you put them in. You don't want the whole recycle center smelling to high heaven!

There are so many different kinds of plastic today but the two most recognizable items are polystyrene foam and polyethylene. Polystyrene comes in blocks or popcorn. Polyethylene is used in sheets and bottles. You should keep these materials in separate bags prior to local recycling centers where you can deposit plastic products. Clean them before you put them there.

And last but not least are aluminum cans. Every family consumes multiple gallons of beer and soft drinks. These take up voluminous air space, so you have to compress them. The easiest way is to pinch the empty can in the middle and then fold the top half over the bottom half. This will reduce the volume by half. There are can compressor presses available at some hardware stores where you can totally flatten an aluminum can just as if you were squeezing an orange.

Whatever way you choose to recycle, just do it. Nobody will give you a medal for your efforts, and you will not win the award of Recycler of The Month. Nobody will pay you a cent to recycle trash, although you could be fined if you violate a mandatory recycle law. The chief benefit comes knowing you are doing your part to keep the air and waterways clean. That is a benefit we all can live by

But what exactly is procrastination? How do you
recognize whether or not you have a problem with
it? How does a person understand whether the
negative experiences that they are having in life
is the result of procrastinating?

First take a look at the word "procrastination".
It is created from the combination of the Latin
words "pro" and "cras" which means "for tomorrow".
When a person procrastinates, they are making a
conscious decision to put off something that they
have to do until some undetermined future time.
They may decide to keep putting it off
indefinitely or wait until the very last minute
to begin the job. Either way, life becomes
stressful because of these choices.

If you are a member of the procrastination club,
then you more than likely have a big list of
responsibilities that you have not gotten around
to or at the very least have made it a habit of
beginning certain jobs and activities at the last
minute. Most of the time, the damage is already
done. Procrastination is a problem for you if you
have a regular habit of telling people that "I'll
get to it later" or "I have too much to do now,
and I will try to get to it next week", etc.

Why do we ignore such responsibilities?

Every person has their own specific reasons why
they choose to put aside their responsibilities.
For some people, the item that needs to be
attended to may appear to be too difficult or
endangers their comfort zone.

Take smoking for example. This habit is one that
literally kills people every day and thousands of
men and women have promised themselves to quit,
yet they procrastinate on actually doing the
things they should be doing to facilitate that
goal. But quitting smoking would be just "too
hard". Even though they want to quit, and must
quit, they would rather put it off after "just
one more cigarette" or "I'll quit after this pack
of cigarettes is finished" or "I'm really
stressed right now, and the cigarette will calm
me down, so I'll quit tomorrow when I feel better"
.

Does any of this sound familiar to you? Do you
understand now what procrastination is and why
your life is suffering from making these choices?
Not everybody is faced with life-threatening
decisions that they keep putting off, such as
smoking, but if you are reading this article then
the chances are high that there is at least
something in your life that you wish to change
for the better and can be turned around if you
can just master the habit of getting things done
when you're supposed to. Your job is to kill
procrastination, change your habit patterns, and
live the life you are supposed to.
