Recycling

Why are some countries so much more successful in recycling waste products?

Recycling is an important part of environmental progress of each country. Usually successfully recycling countries are those which have special recycling programs, such as providing incentives to recycle waste. For example, if you have to pay an extra fee for each can or plastic bag you throw away, will you carry on doing it? As for me, I find it much cheaper to recycle and, as a result, to save money and spend it on something more useful. That is how this 'environmental policy' works. And that's how some countries, using such policies, make people recycle waste products.

By the way, can anybody tell me how to post a video from YouTube ( but not to download it)?

Why are child safety seats required in cars but not in airplanes?

It's clear that the quantity of car accidents are much higher that airplane crashes, but the chance of surviving in plane crash is almost 0. That's why, I guess, there's no need to put child safety seats in the plane cabine - seat belts are quite enough ( for example, during the turbulence).

Brown and white eggs, what's the difference?

Why are brown eggs more expensive than white ones, even though the two types taste the same and have identical nutritional value?


After looking through some web-sites, I've found out, that there's no difference between brown eggs and white ones (except for colour, of course :). The colour of the shell is determined by the breed of hen and it doesn't affect an egg's nutritional value or taste. But what is important - hens that produce brown eggs are usually larger than those who produce white ones -> they need more food. So farms spent more on them and that is the only reason the prices on brown eggs are higher.

fashion industry

Why do female models earn so much more than male models?

Let's see, what is the target audience of fashion channels?Of course, women.

It's also clear that women are more interested in fashion than men, they purchase more clothes or jewellery, they appear on the covers of famous magazines much often than men ! Have you ever seen the man who spent 6 hours, looking for the pair of shoes that suits his clothes perfectly?

And that's why, famous designers are much more interested in female models, so it's obvious that the demand on female models is higher and they earn much more than men.

one more homework )))

Why did Japanese kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

You can think that there was no reason for kamikaze pilots to wear helmets except for protecting themselves... Of course, they needed to stay alive to get the target, but the helmet was not only the part of the protection system. Those helmets had special microphones which were used by pilots to be informed and controlled, so they could reach the target successfully.

It is also thought that the helmet was a part of their full uniform and they just wanted to keep this tradition, but, I believe, the first reason is the most important one.

homework

Why do 24-hour convenience stores have locks on their doors?

Actually, there are two reasons: 

The first one is that employees can be trained to lock the doors in case of robbery or emergency.

The second one is that an employee can lock the door for a few minutes to go to the restroom in case there are no customers.

Ok, I've done my first economics homework )).
