  17. Is Styrofoam Recyclable? Unfortunately, Styrofoam isn't as recyclable as we want it to be. Most Styrofoam products do contain a small recycling symbol and the #6 label. However, that recycling symbol is misleading: Styrofoam tends to go straight to the landfill unless you can find a trusted drop-off location near you. Recycling Styrofoam isn’t as cut and dry as recycling other types of waste, like plastic. It faces a few challenges that hinder its recyclability. For one thing, Styrofoam is difficult to revert to its most basic form and very few recycling facilities have the necessary equipment needed to recycle it during the recycling process. For this reason, you'll have to contact your local recycling facility to see if Styrofoam products are accepted. Recycling Styrofoam isn’t as cut and dry as recycling other types of waste, like plastic. It faces a few challenges that hinder its recyclability. For one thing, Styrofoam is difficult to revert to its most basic form and very few recycling facilities have the necessary equipment needed to recycle it during the recycling process. For this reason, you'll have to contact your local recycling facility to see if Styrofoam products are accepted. Plus, throwing EPS products into the recycling bin can actually contaminate the entire recycling bin. This could lead to the entire bin getting rejected when it arrives at a recycling facility. Why? Because EPS contains harmful toxins, and if those toxins are broken down by recycling processes, they could end up in products we use in our everyday lives. Moreover, EPS products can hardly be reused. This is especially true for food and beverage containers, which are arguably one of the largest uses for Styrofoam. What You Can Do The appeal and convenience of Styrofoam are undeniable, but there are some actions you can take to curb your consumption and cut down on waste. 1. Opt for Styrofoam Alternatives The same way we try to avoid single-use plastics, you can avoid single-use Styrofoam. Instead of using single-use coffee cups, try the Sustainable On-the-Go Coffee Cup featured in the Brightly shop. It's made from discarded coffee husk and can be reused indefinitely. Whenever you grab a coffee on the go, you can bring your reusable cup with you and eliminate the need for Styrofoam—or other hard to recycle, single-use cups. And instead of using Styrofoam takeout containers for leftovers, use reusable containers that won't get trashed after one use. 2. Don't Just Throw It Away If Styrofoam can’t be avoided then do the next best thing: Dispose of it properly. Don’t just throw it in the trash because that's one way to contribute to the problem. Instead, you can send it to a recycling facility that accepts Styrofoam. Earth911 helps you locate the nearest recycling center or drop-off center—just type in your zip code, and you’re good to go. You could also collect your Styrofoam first before donating it to prevent multiple trips. 3. Buy From Sustainable Brands When shopping, it's not only important to look at the environmental footprint of what you're buying: It's also important to look at the packaging. Look for brands that use biodegradable, compostable, or upcycled packaging. When we shop more sustainably, we're actively voting with our dollars and telling industries that consumers prioritize eco-friendly business practices.

  63. The Thomas Crooks Affair A Day to Remember by William Wells A counter-sniper on the third Secret Service platform had an unobstructed view of the AGR buildings. Scanning for suspicious activity, Crooks suddenly appeared on the ridge of Building One's roof with a rifle; the counter-sniper focused on his head, aimed just above his rifle scope, and squeezed the trigger, mortally wounding him just below his right eyebrow. This book describes the life of Thomas Crooks and his attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at the Butler County Fairgrounds. Police have sought to determine his motivations which they have not ascertained. Lee Harvey Oswald's assassination of JFK gives some insight into how people like this think. It deals with the events that day with Donald Trump being shot, the actions of the Secret Service, and other local police enforcement activity. Reviewing news stories and YouTube videos in minutiae arrived at this incredible expose. Most of the videos are bogus about this or somewhat bogus. Examining every detail of everything that happened like the 5 cartridges expended to the right on the roof supported that he was comatose immediately after or at the time of the third shot. It revealed that he or his father had made the AR-15 semi-automatic. When he was comatose, seconds later his right finger clasping the trigger automatically fired off those five shots, the rifle at a slight angle firing above the crowd. Once clinically dead your hand remains in the position that it was in. The bullet penetrated his right eye socket pushing it back into his brain, exploding it. Investigating the bogus videos led me to the actual story. The bogus video with the Butler SWAT team member firing the 9th shot was ridiculous. So bogus looking with the guy raising his rifle and cheering. Where they screwed up was, they time stamped it incorrectly when the "Kill Shot" was 14 seconds before. This was really a matter of notating all the dots and connecting them, and the story was completely revealed. I went to Madeleine Dean's Office who is on the Congressional Investigating Committee. She went on the roof with others to see where Crooks fired from. She was on her way to Washington. I handed her assistant a blurb about my book, and told him he better have her read this because the preliminary parts of their report that had been released revealed many gross inaccuracies, some totally false.
