People who own cars that have high c02 emissions are going to be taxed more under the guise of a ‘green tax to encourage green behaviour’.

The only logic here is that the government want people to scrap their old cars and buy new lower emission ones.

How green is it to scrap a perfectly good car and replace it with a new one?

Where would there be figures/data for this?

No idea if there are any figures for this, but recycling of cars is down to a pretty good fine art these days, with something like 80-95% of material reclaimed.

Of course, reclaiming the materials and building the new car also takes masses of energy, so it all depends on how much you use the car and how close you were to the tax brackets.

In the short term this effect of people scrapping ‘good’ cars for new cars is obviously harmful, but 10 years down the line it will have almost certainly been a net saving measure.



what software is needed if they are hand drawn? what type of education or classes can someone take to learn this art?

well, if you live in US they have michael’s sometimes they have scrapbook lesson, and collage always good (cut pieces from something, ex:magazine, and glue it all together), and if you want clip art, illustrator offer better, and good thing is that you can scale it up and not getting pixelated



I love scrapbooking. I’d like to know the best ways to organize everything and your favorite tools. Especially if someone has purchased, or designed a desk or area to scrapbook at. Thanks!

my fav’s:
1. grage sale kitchen table 40×40 perfect size for working on plus all the "crap" I end up dragging out.
2. IKEA’s rod and hanging baskests and hooks.
3. IKEA’s kitchen knife magnet strips. stong enough to hold dies, and tins without slipping off.

4. The best of all, hubby picked up from a school that was remodeling, an old in-box for teachers mail. You know the ones in the office with all the slots for teachers mail. 40 slots, each one holds 1 IRIS plastic box. Best way to store paper, flowers, alphabets, ink etc… I painted it and had a piece of glass cut for the top to protcet it. I keep pic’s under the glass and all my Jim Holt tins ontop. Looks great and very functional.

EDIT: also love the bar height table hubby made for me. Just 20 inches deep, but 5 feet long. Has a tile top. Great for laying out stuff when I come home from shopping, or for deciding on a layout before I sit and do it. Also good for use as a die cut center. able to stand straight up, no more aching back from making a zillion letters for something.



I have to make a scrapbook for my country report it must have more then 10 photes of brazil . But I don’ t know what a scrapbook is and what photes of Brazil to.Thank you !

You don’t know what a scrapbook is?? Exactly what it implies, a book holding ’scraps’ of things like photos, ticket stubs…memorabilia. To make a scapbook of Brazil, print out pictures of maps, leaders, landmarks. Add printing of important news articles. It would be great (but doubtful) if you could get the national flower to press in the book. (Cattleya labiata, sometimes known as Corsage Orchid is the National Flower of Brazil) Use your imagination.

You might try a liquid or paste paint remover. Check at your local paint store.



Live in Saskatchewan and would like to find an online store to purchase from in Canada.

JoAnn’s sells online, but I don’t know if they ship from within Canada. EBay actually has a ton of scrapbooking stuff. You can refine your search to addresses within a certain radius, which would only show you Canadian sellers. It’s in the vertical box on the left-hand side of the screen, once you’ve gotten to a category of stuff.

If it were me, I’d use Google. Go to www.google.com and type "scrapbooking stores online Canada" in the search box that comes up. Hit Enter. If you get too many to deal with, refine your search and try again.
