For example, my city can recycle 1, 2, 4, and 5. Which ones you can recycle in your city depends on a bunch of factors like how big the community is, whether there's a market for certain types of plastics in the area, etc. <BR/><BR/>As for anti-bacterial products - most of them kill good AND bad bacteria; killing off good bacteria (for example, on your skin) lets bad bacteria take over. And that's assuming the products are used properly - most directions state they have to be left to rest on the surface for ten minutes, which is rarely done. <BR/>When the anti-bacterial products get out in the enivironment, however, they can cause all kinds of problems - the chemical used, triclosan, can cause developmental problems and birth defects in wildlife and can lead to antimicrobial resistant bacteria. What's more, non-triclosan products like Method's are just as effective at removing bad bacteria!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
