Theory Possible solution

• Massive recycling could be done underground -
  Subway, tube, choo-choo train, etc. There are
  about 8 million people in NYC and thousands of
  thousands of people travel every day by the tube.
  From the MTA website, this translates to
  translates into approximately 700,000 cars kept
  out of New York City's central business district
  daily.
• Recycle bins should be placed at each station.
  The difference is that instead of a regular bin,
  there should be a robot-like machine that
  interacts with the user. Shes programmed to
  recognize most generic types of plastic and paper
  materials by sensory. The design of the object
  contain a tray like opening and only deposit
  items if it receives a green light from its
  systems. Otherwise,it will 1) either have some
  sort of arm to drop the non-recycleable item into
  the trash can or create a red light/ robitic
  voice saying the item is not recyclable.
• In regards to finding the funding for this.. I
  was thinking that the governement can set up a
  huge tax deductible for companies who donate to
  the production of these robots. Also there
  should be a cheap way of mass producing robots
  that some Parsons student can design and create!

Some Interesting Notes Statistics

• Paper
• 1 ton of 100 virgin (non-recycled) newsprint
  uses 12 trees
• A "pallet" of copier paper (20-lb. sheet weight,
  or 20) contains 40 cartons and weighs 1
  ton.Therefore,
• 1 carton (10 reams) of 100 virgin copier paper
  uses .6 trees
• 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or
  8,333.3 sheets
• 1 ream (500 sheets) uses 6 of a tree (and those
  add up quickly!)
• 1 ton of coated, higher-end virgin magazine
  paper (used for magazines like National
  Geographic and many others) uses a little more
  than 15 trees (15.36)
• 1 ton of coated, lower-end virgin magazine paper
  (used for newsmagazines and most catalogs) uses
  nearly 8 trees (7.68)
• METAL
• Every year we save enough energy recycling steel
  to supply L.A. with nearly a decades worth of
  electricity.
• We save enough energy by recycling one aluminum
  can to run a TV set for three hours.

• GLASS
• Americans throw away enough glass bottles and
  jars every two weeks to fill the 1.350-foot
  towers of the former World Trade Center.
• Most bottles and jars contain at least 25
  recycled glass.
• Glass never wears out -- it can be recycled
  forever. We save over a ton of resources for
  every ton of glass recycled -- 1,330 pounds of
  sand, 433 pounds of soda ash, 433 pounds of
  limestone, and 151 pounds of feldspar.
• States with bottle deposit laws have 35-40 less
  litter by volume.
• If all the glass bottles and jars collected
  through recycling in the U.S. in 94 were laid end
  to end, they'd reach the moon and half way back
  to earth.
• PLASTIC
• Every year we make enough plastic film to
  shrink-wrap Texas.
• Americans go through 2.5 million plastic bottles
  every year.
• 26 recycled PET bottles equals a polyester suit.
  5 recycled PET bottles make enough fiberfill to
  stuff a ski jacket.
