Recycling Tips in GMail Trash Folder

Posted by Vaibhav Patle on February 3, 2007

I was checking my GMail account over weekend and realized that it’s been a while since I cleaned up my Trash Folder.

Now, Google is all about advertising. Advertising is what got Google to have more than 145 Billion Dollar Market Cap. It misses no chance to monetize on this feature.
So here I was deleting my junk mails and finally went to Trash folder to get rid of everything. On the top, I saw a recycling tip
“Recycled cans can be made into airplanes, appliances, furniture and more.”

Hmm, this deviates from usual Google page. I went to Inbox and then back to Trash. This time the tip was
“Recycled glass bottles can be made into roads, tiles, even surfboards.”

My collection of tips are
* Recycled glass bottles can be made into roads, tiles, even surfboards.
* Recycled plastic bottles can be made into rugs, jackets, fences and more.
* There is no limit to the number of times an aluminum can can be recycled.
* Film canisters can be reused to store nails, screws, buttons and pins.
* Recycling a 3-foot-high stack of newspapers can save one whole tree.
* Recycled paper takes about 60% less energy and water to make than new paper.
* Rubber shoe soles can be recycled to make basketball courts and soccer fields.
* Newspapers can be reused as wrapping paper for gifts.
* Recycled cans can be made into airplanes, appliances, furniture and more.
* Unneeded printouts can be cut and stapled to make notepads.
* Junk mail and newspaper can be reused as package stuffing.
* You can make a lovely hat out of previously-used aluminum foil.
* Empty tissue boxes can provide easy and handy storage for plastic grocery bags.
* Plastic bags can be reused as bin liners or package stuffing.

Look for more tips when you go to Trash for cleanup.
