School is soon to be in session. As you all know, when children return to school,
the masses of paper head home. What are they? Pictures, drawings, spelling tests,
and a variety of other items. You home is now invaded with a mountain of paper
trash. Just normal correspondence with the teacher, brings 5 to 6 pages itself.
So why not start a re-cycling box the first day the kids start school? It should
be exceptionally easy to fill. Especially on that certain day of the week, i.e.
Tuesday Folder. Which is the day the teacher sends home the last weeks graded
papers. A weeks worth of graded paper can be up to 20 pages. Some of which you
may keep and the rest usually ends up in the file 13 (trash can). (more…)

You can make your own biodiesel with these three ingredients; methanol, sodium
hydroxide (lye/ caustic soda like for cleaning drains, found next to Drano), and
vegetable oil. Everything you can get at the grocery store. Except for maybe the
methanol, but you can get it at the auto parts store. Gas line antifreeze is
usually pure methanol. (more…)
