Return to Green-Metroplex Home Page . Our Environmental Pledge to you Green Metroplex Service and Sales practices safe and sane battery recycling for the protection of the environment, as a public service. Every part, wire and battery and even the dirt on a used or worn out E-trike is recycled, especially battery materials like cadmium, lithium, lead or acid which are never sent to a solid waste landfill. What we ask of you: We encourage you to only and always charge your E-trike or other electric battery powered devices or vehicles ONLY AT NIGHT, when that practice will actually decrease your Carbon Footprint. We also encourage you to get and use recycling waste containers at home and at work. |

While plastic and teflon are derivatives of oil that have brought uncounted
economic gain to those who use them in terms of items that could not otherwise be
manufactured and as cheap containers for food and goods; the side affects of
plastic and teflon (another space age plastic) which have all but replaced glass,
stainless steel and iron food cooking and storage implements, are just beginning to
manifest themselves in unintended ways of life and living; in ways that only
beginning to be observed and understood by health sciences.
.
Most plastics have a half-life of 1,000 years. Which is to say it will take over ten
millenia for these items to break down into their basic components and be
re-absorbed as carbon matter in the ground. Recent studies have shown that pvc
and other plastic forms and their bi-products leach into the aquifer or vented into
the air from solid waste land fills into very small parts per million in groundwater;
which is later taken up by plants from pvc contaminated wells into drinking water
and food and fodder for food humans and animals. These traces can and do irritate
the cells in all living things into the allergic reaction that causes cancer, heart
arrhythmia and any number of other misdiagnosed bodily disorders.
.
Rapid temperature changes in plastic such as when freezing water into ice in plastic
ice trays or chilling beverages such as soda pop or beer in plastic lined aluminum
cans or the practice of pouring hot coffee from glass carafes into insulated travel
cups or when heating food in micro-waveable containers or teflon coated pans
cause the plastics to out-gas a small dose of PVC cancer causing trace elements. The
more rapid the change in temperature, the greater the quantity of out-gasing of
trace elements from the plastic that are known to precipitate a cancerous reaction in
the body. The affect appears to be accumulative, hence no direct link has here to
fore been attributed to plastic as a cancer causing agent.

| Pollution Reduction Techniques |
The current plague like increase in cancer among all age groups, especially in
America, can be traced directly back to plastic packaging and the use of plastic in
cooking and the storage of food. Plastic and Teflon are cited by many research and
government environmental groups as major health risk sources of pollution to
otherwise healthy bodies.
.
Other long term physical irritants which precipitate less than stellar health are
pesticides and chemicals in our food. We have started a gardening and food
page to look at and explore alternative means to reduce our personal consumption
of chemicals that pollute our bodies. wr

Ulcerating sweat glands under the
armpits began to occur at irregular
intervals. The were filled to bursting
with coagulated old sweat that had a
dirty socks smell when they drained.
After due diligence research I found
that extended use of underarm
deodorant was the culprit. And, after
some research found that the
application of one half of a lemon to
the armpits after washing them clean,
while in the shower and leaving the
juice on for five minutes before
thorough rinsing is an old homeopathic
remedy to stay fresh smelling under
any conditions. My spouse says "Don't
shave the underarms before applying
lemons because small nicks burn like
mad if lemon juice is applied to them.
This use of a natural deodorants
insures no more underarm pustules will
re-occur from clogged sweat glands.
This remedy lasts several days if one
finds they can't bath for short periods.
