My best friends lost everything in a house fire this weekend. I am doing everything I can to raise money and collect contributions to help them rebuild. Does anyone have any stellar tips to share on the following?1. Raising money2. Asking brands for donations of clothing/makeup/shoes3. Prioritising what is needed more urgently4. Any other advice from people who have had to start from scratchUnfortunately they didn't have insurance as they had previously only been concerned about burglary and didn't think someone would steal entire bedroom or lounge suites or wardrobes.In NSW Australia if any ideas are location specific. Thank you!
If your just going to go ahead and do itThen why are you asking if you should become a scene queen? Seriously, So called scene queen are idiots looking for attention. The look is dead and buried 6 feet deep. P.S. You should like a douchebag.
Well, trains use steel 'tires' of course as did the old horse carts..steel tires on wooden wheels. Rolling friction of steel on steel is a lot les than rubber on bitumen. And mag lev technology does away with tires altogether. There is recycling and then there is reusing. where I live, old tires find uses as children's swings, flower pots, trash cans and a host of other creative uses, y utting and reshaping them into new purpose items. I have seen them being cut up and used as roofing shingleslast ever so long! used to make soles for footwearDURABLE used in erosion prevention they make excellent stabilisers on step banks when packed with earth. used around trees as protective and decorative edging Even seen houses built of them. And of course they are used as running track material and other 'rubber ' surfaces after being shredded and formed into new sheets. Of course they can be retreaded as well, up to a point. Natural rubber is of course a totally renewable resource. But car tires are not generally made of that. The main reason tires are difficult to recycle is because they are made of many different materials, rubber, nylon steel, carbon black, all tightly and intimately bound together. It is hard work to separate out these components again. Perhaps we need to redesign the tire with recycling in mind, so that the different components can be more easily separated? Perhaps the roads need to be the rubber bit? With hard steel tires on cars?
I use a spatula that has the longest handle in our home so that I can stand as far as possible.
