Computer Recycling Environmental Upcycling FM Recycle

FM Recycle in Manchester, UK accepts old computers and IT Equipment that are clogging up the landfills.

Computer Recycling :  Old Equipment Upcycling Today Is Hard to Find


So many people aren't sure what to do with their old computers, or IT Equipment that they end up in a landfill rotting and they don't have to be. This is solely because in many places you aren't allowed to throw them out, and the thrift stores won't accept them if they have too many or feel it's too outdated.  Selling online is out of the question, because of size, weight and shipping, truth be told you can't give them away.


FM Recycle in the United Kingdom is so ahead of the game when it comes to upcycling and recycling computers or old or non working IT Equipment.  They say, "Here at FM Recycle we have years of experience in all aspects of computer recycling. We have very strong relations with clients overseas and also have a strong in-house ICT repair team.   We care about the environment, so we believe that disposing of ICT hardware through landfills is a waste and that recycling and remarketing is most definitely the future."

These Monsters Are Wasting Away in Our Homes

Think about it, we are all guilty of it. We have that old computer that runs like a dinosaur, and we upgrade. Some of us change computers more often than we upgrade phones.  With technological advances it become necessary to upgrade, update, and then what happens? The old one sits in the basement collecting dust, or in the attic or garage, forgotten. 

Old Computers Clogging the Workplace

Even businesses who upgrade computer systems often are clueless what to do with the old systems, or even items that can't be saved or replaced. Old towers that perhaps don't work, laptops that may cost more to get repaired than to throw away, sit in a corner of a storage closet or storage room collecting dust.   Truth be told, most businesses don't know what to do with them and don't have the time to figure it out. If the computers are outdated and not worth anything on the internet, they may end up in a big dumpster somewhere.


FM Recycle in Manchester United Kingdom has taken responsibility to doing green goodness on the earth by offering their  Computer Recycling programs that help businesses go green by recycling their old or non working IT Equipment which is UK's Eco Friendly Solution.  They love giving more than adequate information on how to do so.  They offer free services, but even they say, "Sadly, not everyone is aware of services such as these."  If you live in the UK, or know anyone who works there, tell them to spread the word to keep the earth a greener place! 




What about recycling computers in the United States?

Unfortunately FM Recycle isn't here in the States, so you have to get creative and find a place that does accept them.


Here are some tips:

• Search Earth 411 and see if a place near you can recycle them. 
• Sometimes artists will use the circuit boards to make artwork, jewelry, or assemblage.  
• Call small computer repair companies to see if they can use your model for parts. You may be surprised if they can, they may even come and get it. 

All-Natural Make-Up: An Easy Routine Switch That is Good for Your Health!

It's easier than you think to make the switch to all-natural make-up. For years I had been using conventional makeup that I picked up at a nearby grocery store or mainstream pharmacy chain, all of which contained hundreds of chemicals that are harmful to my skin and overall health! Parabens, fragrances, dyes, etc...all of these things truly are toxic and often it is hard to read or find the ingredients list on a tiny bottle of eyeliner! I've heard about pregnant mothers going all-natural with their make-up choices (or no make-up at all) because of the harmful chemical additives in mainstream make-up products, I figure that it is time for me to make the switch for "me" before I become and "expecting mother".

Up to 60 percent of whatever we place on our skin goes into our blood stream; however, companies are blatantly adding ingredients to our personal care products. These include parabens, synthetic preservatives suspected to cause problems like weight gain, skin aging and certain types of cancer! Do your research, read labels, and don't always trust the words "natural" and "organic".

You will want to rid your cosmetic bag of all of these hazardous parabens: Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Benzyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Methyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Ethyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Propyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Butyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Parahydroxybenzoic acid and Parahydroxybenzoate. Not to mention the hundreds of other harmful chemicals leaching in our cosmetics! Save yourself the stress, and find some all-natural, organic makeup that is safe with a similar look and feel as your trusty old go-to cosmetics!

I went with Willow Tree Minerals! I absolutely LOVE their Natural Liquid Nightfall Eye Liner, Ginger Natural Mineral Blush, and Forever Blonde Natural Mineral Eye Brow Pencil...these organic cosmetics wonderfully and easily replaced everything I was buying at the supermarket and are perfect for my soft sunkissed ivory Irish complexion! I was able to continue to use my tried-and-true makeup application techniques without needing to alter a thing!

Give it a try, your skin will be happy that you made the switch to all-natural makeup! Embrace the beauty of Mother Nature and rediscover the gorgeous, glowing, natural "you" with nature-derived cosmetics! Speaking of "glowing beauty" below I have featured a handmade retro pin up pillow titled "Art Deco Damsel" created by my lovely and creative Aunt Mary Lynn from her Etsy shop "LaOohLaLa Boutique".

They Claim Natural Herbs Metabolize Fat Energy

It Works Skinny Wraps and Supplements

I've been hearing more about these skinny wraps and so I had to investigate. What I found out is that all of the products used in the "skinny wrap it works" treatments are made with all natural ingredients.

It's Natural and Green

In case you don't know,   The Skinny Wrap   actually a body wrap made of an all natural botanical based product. It can be held in place in your target area with anything, such as an ace bandage.  The secret seems to be the botanical ingredients that penetrate four layers into your skin burning the fat.

Does it Work

I wanted to see what people are saying about it. One person I talked on Facebook says "It starts working in as little as 45 minutes and the results last."  I talked to one distributor in Virginia who said "This is not a water loss wrap. It's actual fat loss.The natural botanicals penetrate the cells and literally melt or dissolve them."

Their claims state it's safer than surgery and well, that is a fact.  Just the other day I received a Facebook message from an old friend who now owns a salon in Parkville, MD. She asked if I knew anyone in the area selling these wraps, she wanted to get them in her salon. So I started reading about them.

Proof in the Pudding, or Lack thereof

Normally when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, but in this case based on the fact it's using natural ingredients and botanicals, I think it's worth a second look. 

The real proof seems to be in the lack of fat--and photos from it's users.  Look also in the way in which it's growing. If you look closely, the company is quickly growing by it's very own user base who orders the product, tries the product, falls in love with it, then starts selling it to family and friends. I suppose the proof is right there.

Would you sell something to family and friends unless it really worked?   If you have used this product please leave comments.  I'm glad to see this company go green, and use botanicals, herbs, and natural ingredients. although I haven't tried it yet, maybe I should.
