  Is there a standard time ratio for how long it takes to build the foundation of a skyscraper, as opposed to the superstructure?

  Super depends on what’s under that foundation, in many ways I hope more time goes into that than goes into the structure itself, since it’s literally all riding in that.

  Why are people (such as yourself) so interested in the end of the world?

  Religions welcome it, it makes us all a bit suicidal when we all get to go to the happy place in the sky after it happens. I’d like to avoid an ecological disaster or otherwise causing our own annihilation, but I wonder if some think that’s how the second coming will be initiated.

  Why are people still recycling?

  These are some pretty old arguements that have been kicking around for a while against recycling. First off, let me say, that recycling alone won’t save the world or anything. They say – Reduce, reuse, and recycle, in that order – generally a core environmental tenant and what the three arrows of the recycling symbol represent. Saves Energy and Money: “It costs at least three times more to dump trash in landfills than it costs to reuse and recycle.” [Sprint Recycling] In fact the Office of Natural Resource Programs reports that recycling a ton of newspaper costs about $25 all costs included as opposed to disposing of it costing around $100. That’s before we take into account the cots of chemicals leaching into ground water, tree deforestation (http://www.fs.fed.us/ne/delaware/biotrends/trends22.JPG) or the loss of wildlife. We Save Trees and Improve the Environment Trees, as indicated above are in decline. There are trees that can keep up with the demand, but generally no one buys bamboo paper… We, as indicated above, can recycle it cheaper that pitching it. We Give People Great Jobs in the Recycling Industry There are lots of shit jobs out there. I basically think your point is irrelevant, as working in a landfill is probably not so wonderful either. Saves Landfill Space Well, this is true, it does save landfill space. Although, as you say, there is plenty of it. But who wants to live near it? And who wants to ship all of it someplace where no one lives? I guess we could just dump in the ocean… but I don’t recommend it (http://discovermagazine.com/2008/jul/10-the-worlds-largest-dump) We’re still recycling because the benefits outweigh the costs.
