این هم از بخش سوم سلسله مقالات انگلیسی به همراه فایل صوتی در زمینه بازیافت مواد.
در این قسمت به بحث استفاده از فضولات حیوانی و بازگردانی آن ها در کارخانه های کفش سازی و… میپرازد که در نوع خود اطلاعات جالبی را در این زمینه به خواننده منتقل میکند.
نکته جالبی که در این مقاله توجهم را جلب کرد واژه بود که با جستجو در دیکشنری لانگمن هم نتوانستم معنی دقیقش را پیدا کنم اما خدا حفظ کند ویکیپدیا را برای اهالی اینترنت که فکر نمیکنم مطبی باشد و او از آن خبری نداشته باشد.
ویکیپدیا این واژه را به افرادی نسبت که برای مقدار کمی پول و یا مجانا اقدام به جمع آوری زباله ها میکنند و در ضمن اگر چیزهای بدرد بخوری هم در بینشان یافتند از آن استفاده و یا به فروش میرسانند و به نوعی گذران زندگیشان وابسته به این شغل شریف است. لفظش هم در عربی به “زبالین” یاد شده که شاید به نوعی من بتونم آن را اهل زباله ترجمه کنم.

3_Using things sensibly
Conservation means conserving things – saving them, or using them carefully. When you turn off the light in the daytime, you are conserving energy. When you write notes on the back of an old letter, you are conserving materials. You are also conserving your money!
Recycling means conserving materials and energy by using things again instead of throwing them away. When you recycle glass, paper or metal you conserve materials, energy and money. Recycling is important for three reasons. It reduces pollution. It conserves energy and materials. And it saves money, which can then be spent on other things.
Recycling is not new! Many examples of recycling are found in the natural world. Dung may seem like a waste material to us, but to a dung beetle it is food. When an animal dies, its body can be used as food by other animals. They, like the dung beetle, are reducing pollution and recycling materials.
Some things which are useless today were once useful and valuable. A hundred years ago, dog dung was used in factories which made animal skins into shoes and bags. Some people collected dog dung in the streets of London and sold it to factories. Modern factories use chemicals…
In Cairo today, 25,000 people make a living from other people’s rubbish. Every morning the Zabbaleen go out and search the rubbish dumps. They take the best things they find to sell in the market, but they also collect glass, metal, paper and rags which they sell for recycling, They collect food which they give to their animals. The Zabbaleen help to keep the city clean. All over the world, there are people who collect other people’s rubbish and recycle it. They do a good job and conserve money and materials. And they do not cost the government anything.
In countries where there are no people like the Zabbaleen, recycling costs the government a lot of money. People or machines are needed to search the dump for recyclable materials. It can seem cheaper to burn waste, or dump it in big holes, but this damages our environment.
Recycling fact
•Many ordinary people go to rubbish dumps to search for something that they need. A new door might cost £50, but it is possible to buy an old one from a dump for £1.
