hi i need a recycling quiz *the topic is about *Textiles* and i need 10 questions thx

She gave us some examples of previous theme choices e.g
Unorthodox materials, plants and flowers, stage costumes, headpiece and recycling.
But these all seem boring to me.
anyone have any ideas ?

I used to get them from a community project which recycled business waste (inclucing fabric remnants from fabric houses), but this has now closed. I have considered using stuff from charity shops, but surprisingly expensive. Any ideas appreciated.

Hi, I am a textile art student in the UK, and want to open an online etsy shop to sell some of my work. I make little tiny things, like little bead and wire insects, quite a few made from recycled objects such as pen springs, broken buttons/beads, screws, pencil stubbs... etc etc. Here are a few examples, on flickr-

Please make a CLEARLY STATED THESIS in the introduction and solution please!!.

Here's what I have:

I N T R O D U C T I O N
It’s happening everyday and right now. It is becoming a worldwide problem. This is global warming. Global warming is a serious problem that affects our planet. Is it a natural cause or man-made? It may be natural. Many people point to the melting ice caps as proof that humans are the ones that are causing global warming, but what they may not know is that the polar ice caps on Mars are melting too. Humans may not be the main cause of global warming but they do affect it greatly causing it to accelerate.

B A C K G R O U N D
Global warming was most likely sped up by human causes. One major human cause is pollution. People are creating more and more of it. One type of pollutant is greenhouse gases. These gases trap solar energy, increasing Earth’s temperature, rather than letting the heat back into space. Another cause is the burning of fossil fuels. Some fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. These produce carbon dioxide. We are producing too much of it into our atmosphere too quickly and plants can’t absorb all of that carbon dioxide. We even cause global warming to be sped up by being alive. We exhale carbon dioxide with every breath we take. If we want to reduce global warming, to a state we can deal with and not worry about it, we need to start by reducing all of the pollution we create. Global warming may be a natural cause but “humans can be a powerful influence on the climate as well.” (Revkin 2)


S O L U T I O N
There are many problems causing global warming. There are also many solutions to help reduce global warming. One way is to produce greener ethanol. “Ethanol production consumes a lot of fossil fuel and generate harmful side products.” (Carbon-info.org) Corn-based ethanol is not cheap and it’s not green. Another solution may be cutting down greenhouse gases. This allows the climate to balance the precipitation. If you don't reduce, reuse, and recycle nonrenewable resources (they are resources that cannot be renewed) they can run out. If we conserve, we will have enough to use for many years to come. For example, if we run out of gasoline, we would not be able to drive cars. This is one of the easiest solutions: the three R’s (reduce, reuse, and recycle!). This reduces pollution and impacts global warming. You can save money, save energy, and help save the world! This may be one of the easiest methods you can do by simply adding it to your lifestyle. Reducing: Try to cut back on the amount of energy you use. For example, if you leave the light on remember to turn it off. Don’t leave electronics plugged in when they may be fully charged or you simply are not using it. Reuse: Try to reuse whatever you can. There are things like paper and containers. Reusing things you might need can help you save money. For example, save and reuse scratch paper that you had been doing math notes or homework on to use it another time. Recycle: Take your recyclable products, like paper after you've thoroughly reused it, and make sure it is taken to a recycle plant so it can be made into new fresh paper that can be used again so more trees don't need be cut down. Some people even recycle by making art out of their trash. Hey it helps global warming in a way! “Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics.” (wikipedia) If everybody stuck to these rules, we would be doing a great thing by protecting the earth.


C O N C L U S I O N
Global warming affects our planet greatly. You may not notice it much but it’s happening right now. It is sped up mostly by human causes. There are many problems as a result of global warming. One example, the melting ice caps. Think about the poor polar bears! Another example, is greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat that needs to go back into space. To most problems there is also a solution. The three R’s. Simple as that. It helps us in a lot of ways by saving money and energy. Global warming affects the weather and that affects us. Global warming is a problem. If you contribute, you can help reduce global warming. Do your part.

I need to know some textile products made out of recycled plastic.

I often donate clothing that I no longer use, but I have a lot of clothing with holes, stains, etc. that is not eligible for donation but that I would still like to recycle. I know that there are textile recycling facilities for this purpose, but I haven't been able to find information about a facility in Louisiana (preferably within 2.5 hours max of Lafayette, so Baton Rouge or NOLA would be fine).

just to some arrogant person ,you dont know me and i dont have to explain but ive donated loads ,i have 4 kids and just trying to get some cash back as theres a place were i live who offers cash so dont bother answering you dimwit

Also any background info on recycling textiles in the UK?

So basically theres this global textiles thing, and were going to berlin to have a fashion show. We have four weeks and my design sucks, it needs to be made out of recycled materials and look have some inspiration of art deco, like colour, or patter.


God it wulda beeen so easy if we wulda gotten goth ¬¬. So basically i was thinking something easy to do, the top part is like a corset and im open for anything, links or whatever thanks :DD

it doesnt need to look art deco, just influence, and it needs to be over the top x

Fancy taking a short quiz? Below are some statements and manifesto commitments by two minor political parties in the UK with regards to global warming and the environment.

One is the Green Party, who agitate against man-made global warming and ecological degradation as they see it. The other is the far-right British National Party, which agitates for racial separation and self-sufficiency for the UK outside of the European Union. See if you can tell which party made the following statements or manifesto commitments:

--------------------------------------…

""Formidably powerful and publicly unaccountable transnational companies are becoming ever more footloose, their strength and mobility facilitated both by technological advances, and by the progressive withdrawal of investment controls by governments and by multilateral institutions such as WTO. TNCs are now increasingly able to exploit differences in social and environmental standards between countries in order to maximise profits."" (A)

"" Only in the last few decades has this been changed forever by the advent of mass passenger travel, the insatiable desire of the globalised capitalist economy for cheap labour "" ( B)

""“Regions or communities must have the right to reject specific individuals on grounds of public safety."" ( C )

""“Britain's farming industry will be encouraged to produce a much greater part of the nation's need in food products. Priority will be switched from quantity to quality, as we move from competing in a global economy to maximum self-sufficiency for Britain, sustainable agriculture, decreased reliance on petro-chemical products and more organic production.”"" ( D )

""“To be able to fulfil all our basic food needs locally. To grow as many other products as we can to meet our basic needs (e.g. for textiles, fuel, paper) on a local or regional basis. To enable all communities to have access to land which can be used for growing for basic needs. To ensure that all growing systems use only natural, renewable inputs and that all organic waste outputs are able to be recycled back into the soil or water system.”"" ( E )

""Communities and regions should have the right to restrict inward migration"" ( F )

""That poison is in large measure the blind economic force of global capitalism, with its insistence on the unrestricted flow of goods, capital and labour to wherever in the world they will make the maximum short-term profit ... It is not about ‘love’ and ‘tolerance’, it is about profit."" ( G )
--------------------------------------…

Give up?

Okay, A, C E & F were all made by the Green Party, and B,D & G were all made by the BNP.

Tough quiz, ey? Were you able to tell them apart?
