Recycle


What is the importance of recycling?

While recycling become part of daily routine for many people, the full importance of recycling is not always understood. In general, people do understand that recycling helps to minimize the drain on limited resources of our planet.  However, there are several other factors that make recycling important. Here are a few other reasons why recycling is extremely important to our world today.

One of the great things about recycling is that process helps to minimize the presence of waste materials in our communities. Because items such as glass, paper, and plastics are being reused to create new products, they do not end up taking up space in a landfill somewhere. Since most people are not interested in having a garbage dump located near their homes or offices, recycling makes it possible to avoid creating newer and larger landfills that would otherwise be necessary to accommodate all the waste.

While many people realize that recycling is good for the environment in terms of easing the demand on our limited resources, they may not realize that choosing to reused and recycle items also makes it possible to cut the cost of producing products significantly. 

For example, it takes anywhere from seventy-five to ninety-five percent less energy to produce aluminum cans from recycled products than it does to create them from raw materials

. Thus, the importance of recycling not only extends to preserving raw materials but also to easing the energy needed to manufacture various goods.

Eiffel Tower



The Eiffel Tower was built in Paris from 1887 to 1889 by Gustave Eiffel, a French engineer specializing in revolutionary steel constructions.
Gustave Eiffel beat 300 other contestants for the building prize and although not all French people liked the Eiffel Tower from the start, it was kept to place telegraphic antennas on the top.
The structure took more than two years to complete. Each one of the about 12,000 iron pieces were designed separately to give them exactly the shape needed. All pieces were prefabricated and fit together using approx. 7 million nails.

Gazal 1




I’ll tell you something about the first Saudi car it’s Gazal 1 .
 Gazal 1 it’s the first appeared as concept at the Geneva motor show in march and will soon become Saudi Arabia’s first home-built car . the concept was designed by students in king Saud university’s automotive engineering program and built  around a Mercedes-Benz G-class . the students worked with  Magna Steyr  and studio Torino .
The car has been green lighted for production by king Abdullah . however there are few things that still stand in the way , such as financing  . According to estimates , the project needs a $500 million investment in order to get going. If the team finds the necessary investment , it hopes to have the car in production with two to three years . Production of the Gazal-1 is planned to be around 20,000 units per year.
Details about the car are rather scarce, but we know that it’s based on Mercedes’ G-Wagen and designed for the climate of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbors. Detail about the powertrain are wholly unknown, but it’s likely an engine from the Mercedes lineup made it under the hood, possibly even the 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 from the G55 AMG. We’ll know more about the car as its production date comes closer.

why did we start this blog ?

we made this blog to re-write our book's paragraphs in a way that people our age would enjoy reading it  , we write it fully ourselves-based on our knowledge from flying high 1,2&3- after researching it well ,and we add pictures taken by our group too -most of times- and here is one of our friend's opinion.


Here is Renad M. Babdullah's comment :
