Ecology Survey

[krazy_kt]

Here's a survey I'm conducting in my Field Ecology class. Feel free to fill it out. I'm instructed to survey ten people, and I thought it'd be nice to get an outside perspective on things. Since some of you are out of state/out of country, I'd really like to hear from you

Oh, how I don't miss high school! Haha.

1. Do you recycle paper? Glass? Plastic? Aluminum? Yes, Yes and Yes.

2. When you go to the grocery store do you ask for paper or plastic, or do you bring your own reusable bags? What do you do with the paper and plastic bags after they are emptied? Either or. Paper bags are usually recycled or made into some crafty-type project. Plastic bags are used for garbage (like, kitty litter, ew.)

3. Have you ever taken toxic or hazardous household materials to a neighborhood or community hazardous-waste collection site? If yes, what materials did you take? No.

4. What do you do with your grass clippings? With your autumn leaves? With your Christmas tree? Leaves and Christmas tree are put into a compost pile, later used for gardening and flower-growing!

5. What do you or your service garage do with the used oil from your vehicles when you change your oil? I honestly don't know.

6. What do you consider your community's greatest waste-disposal problem to be? I'd have to say oil or

1. Do you recycle paper? Glass? Plastic? Aluminum? I recycle newspapers and soda cans.

2. When you go to the grocery store do you ask for paper or plastic, or do you bring your own reusable bags? What do you do with the paper and plastic bags after they are emptied? I usually ask for plastic, but if I've got a lot of groceries to carry, I ask for double-layered paper. The plastic bags get reused at my house for little things like picking up trash (or animal business) and the paper ones I take back to Stater Bros. so that they can be recycled.

3. Have you ever taken toxic or hazardous household materials to a neighborhood or community hazardous-waste collection site? If yes, what materials did you take? No, I've never really had to get rid of hazardous materials yet, but I'm sure I will in the future.

4. What do you do with your grass clippings? With your autumn leaves? With your Christmas tree? My grandfather has goats, and they love grass clippings. The leaves just get raked up and piled on the side of the house,
