Be careful what you say. It comes true. It comes true. I had to leave home in order to see the world logically, logic the new way of seeing. I learned to think that mysteries are for explanation. I enjoy the simplicity. Concrete pours out of my mouth to cover the forests with freeways and sidewalks. Give me plastics, periodical tables, TV dinners with vegetables no more complex than peas mixed with diced carrots. Shine floodlights into dark corners: no ghosts. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Plastics quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
The landscape of carcinogens is not static either. We are chemical apes: having discovered the capacity to extract, purify, and react molecules to produce new and wondrous molecules, we have begun to spin a new chemical universe around ourselves. Our bodies, our cells, our genes are thus being immersed and reimmersed in a changing flux of molecules
pesticides, pharmaceutical drugs, plastics, cosmetics, estrogens, food products, hormones, even novel forms of physical impulses, such as radiation and magnetism. Some of these, inevitably, will be carcinogenic. We cannot wish this world away; our task, then, is to sift through it vigilantly to discriminate bona fide carcinogens from innocent and useful bystanders. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Plastics quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Since 1963, LEGO bricks have been manufactured from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer - ABS copolymer for short - a plastic with a matte finish. It is very hard and robust - import criteria for a children's toy. Laboratories in Switzerland and Denmark regularly test the quality of the ABS. The plastic is distributed to factories as granules rather than in liquid form. These grains of plastic are heated up to 232ºC and converted into a molten mass. Injection moulding machines weighing up to 150 tonnes squeeze the viscous plastic mass into the desired injection moulds - of which there are 2,400 varieties. After seven seconds, the brick produced in this way has cooled down enough to be removed from the mould. The injection moulding method is so precise that out of every million elements produced, only about 18 units have to be rejected. Unsold bricks are converted back into granulates and recycled. ~ Christian Humberg
Plastics quotes by Christian Humberg
Lily Brown writes with and against things in poems that are coiled up tight as springs (or snakes). A believer in the power of the line, she writes, 'I think the plastics/and sink them' then 'Where is the sand/man hiding the dirt.' These terse, biting poems will make you look around and wonder. ~ Rae Armantrout
Plastics quotes by Rae Armantrout
I wish America would spend even half as much time complaining about plastics in our oceans as we do about actresses' plastic surgery. ~ Bette Midler
Plastics quotes by Bette Midler
On a personal level, I chose not to look at the eclipse but rather sat outside during it and listened and appreciated nature, instead of participating in it like a pop festival. My decision was based partly on belief but also I have to contemplate the mass production of glasses and how they will only be used once, polluting our earth with plastics and harmful metals. ~ Lorin Morgan-Richards
Plastics quotes by Lorin Morgan-Richards
Semtex, PE4, C-4, Plastrite, Netrolit, Spring Korper, Rowanex
Cono felt slightly shameful about his familiarity with plastics, and yet seeing them here, even so amateurishly arranged, gave him a perverse comfort. ~ Victor Robert Lee
Plastics quotes by Victor Robert Lee
I'm not out there suggesting that we should ban every plastic product. But there are some whose environmental costs exceed their utility, and the [plastic] bag is one of them. ~ Susan Freinkel
Plastics quotes by Susan Freinkel
There are more effective ways of tackling environmental problems including global warming, proliferation of plastics, urban sprawl, and the loss of biodiversity than by treaties, top-down regulations, and other approaches offered by big governments and their dependents. ~ Preston Manning
Plastics quotes by Preston Manning
Polymer synthesis in the 1950s was dominated by Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, whose discoveries of polymerization catalysts were of great importance for the development of the modem 'plastics' industry. ~ Alan J. Heeger
Plastics quotes by Alan J. Heeger
Without 'The Brady Bunch,' my guess is I would have become an engineer working on new plastics or something. ~ Mike Lookinland
Plastics quotes by Mike Lookinland
Plastics, as a material, are very nasty, but as an alternative to, let's say, a brick, which seems really natural, they start to look pretty good. They're very low energy to produce, very lightweight to transport and construct. That's why they're so popular. ~ Greg Lynn
Plastics quotes by Greg Lynn
When we seed millions of acres of land with these plants, what happens to foraging birds, to insects, to microbes, to the other animals, when they come in contact and digest plants that are producing materials ranging from plastics to vaccines to pharmaceutical products? ~ Jeremy Rifkin
Plastics quotes by Jeremy Rifkin
I just want to say one word to you-just one word ... "plastics!" ... There's a great future in plastics. ~ Buck Henry
Plastics quotes by Buck Henry
People in south Manchester overwhelming want to be able to recycle more than they currently can - especially cardboard and plastics - and want more frequent and accessible collections, particularly for those living in flats. ~ Lucy Powell
Plastics quotes by Lucy Powell
This was a normal town once, and we were normal people. Most of us worked at the plastics factory on the outskirts of town. Then one day there was an accident ... something escaped from the factory, a yellow gas. It floated over the town so fast that we didn't see it, didn't realize ... and then it was too late, and Dark Falls wasn't a normal town anymore. ~ R.L. Stine
Plastics quotes by R.L. Stine
Manufacturers have long chosen plastic for their products on the basis of price and functionality., But creating a more sustainable relationship with plastics will require a new dexterity on our part. It will require us to think about the entire life cycle of the products we create and use. ~ Susan Freinkel
Plastics quotes by Susan Freinkel
Ah! Books don't come all that often, at least not my way. Andre Malraux's The Psychology of Art was one of them. It was published just after the war. It was too expensive to buy but I located a copy of this luminous book in the Manchester Art Gallery; and i had to make several journeys by motor-cycle, often through sleet and snow until I had finished it. From time to time I wanted to get up on the table to proclaim its truth to all around me, or slap my next-desk neighbour over the back and say, 'There you are; just get hold of that!' Once I nearly did but just in time I noticed he was reading a text on the structure of plastics. By now, of course, I know that some people can get as much aesthetic pleasure out of contemplating the formula for a long molecule as others do from beholding a mural by Piero della Francesca. Technologists have their Ah! Moments too! ~ Vernon Sproxton
Plastics quotes by Vernon Sproxton
The demand of PVC foam board and Lexan Polycarbonate sheets is increasing fast in India. The users are looking for specific and optimized solution for particular needs. To simplify this task, you need a genuine supplier who could offer variety with assurance of supplying on time what you ask. Kapoor Plastics, New Delhi may be right place to explore the possibilities. ~ Abhishek Kapoor
Plastics quotes by Abhishek Kapoor
Furniture manufacturing in plastics requires very costly machinery, which the Danish market is not big enough to justify. Or so they say. But show me a plastics manufacturer who dares to take on the experiment. ~ Arne Jacobsen
Plastics quotes by Arne Jacobsen
the German and Japanese governments heavily subsidized their chemical industries for war purposes. Government subsidies, direct or indirect, spurred German developments in synthetic rubber and plastics, synthetic fuels, light metals, and various other substitutes for natural materials.
However, the world's chemical industries would have grown rapidly without artificial encouragement. ~ George W. Stocking
Plastics quotes by George W. Stocking
Let's spell things out plainly: It is beyond the scope of my understanding of how we are still, after everything we know, polluting our oceans with plastics, and worse. A whale just died after consuming more than 80 plastic bags. A whale!"
-Shenita Etwaroo ~ Shenita Etwaroo
Plastics quotes by Shenita Etwaroo
For your temporary comfort, don't permanently kill the innocent life of all living beings on the earth, the plastic ~ 'SON Of GOD' P.S.Jagadeesh Kumar
Plastics quotes by 'SON Of GOD' P.S.Jagadeesh Kumar
Ohio plastics plant, had ~ Stephen King
Plastics quotes by Stephen King
I can't say that only the citizens litter. I must say that I have also been wrong in doing this. We need to ban plastics and be a little careful with garbage. ~ Shahrukh Khan
Plastics quotes by Shahrukh Khan
You can have it all,
Luxury and wealth,
A lot of friends and a good health,
And own everything on earth.
However, if you have greed,
Jealousy, bitter and want not to see anyone get ahead in life.
A dumping site is better than you because not everything found on a dumping site has no value.
Plastics can be recycled,
And some goods are not too bad to be used again. ~ Nomthandazo Tsembeni
Plastics quotes by Nomthandazo Tsembeni
Obviously plastics have served very important purposes and been incredibly convenient but as we begin to witness the long-term consequences of the chemical components leaching into our water and our bodies, we're going to be forced to look for alternatives to how we package goods and food. ~ Edward Norton
Plastics quotes by Edward Norton
My boots use recycled electronics and recycled plastics from the ocean. ~ Pamela Anderson
Plastics quotes by Pamela Anderson
Plastics. Polyesters. Resins. Ersatz - industrial uses. Do you see? No consumers' commodities. ~ Philip K. Dick
Plastics quotes by Philip K. Dick
I love realism. I don't like plastics. Deep down inside we're all the same. ~ Michael Jackson
Plastics quotes by Michael Jackson
But the sun will rise the day after tomorrow
A millennium without us silences our last echo
To tiny fragments even our plastics are reduced
In Eden Reincarnate all life but ours is renewed ~ A.A. Patawaran
Plastics quotes by A.A. Patawaran
Instead of feeling sexy and tingly, it felt useless, like recycling plastics or registering to vote. ~ Douglas Coupland
Plastics quotes by Douglas Coupland
If three hundred years of chainsaws, CFCs, depleted uranium, automobiles, genetic engineering, airplanes, routine international trade, computers, plastics, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, vivisection, internal combustion engines, feller bunchers, dragline excavators, televisions, cell phones, and nuclear (and conventional) bombs are not enough to convey the picture, then that picture will never be conveyed. ~ Derrick Jensen
Plastics quotes by Derrick Jensen
Memory, Evans-Pritchard reasoned, was an indirect expression of power. The Arenos faced structural amnesia about something else and linked it to a different source of power: the Louisiana Chemical Association, the Society of the Plastics Industry, the Vinyl Institute, Shell Oil, PPG Industries, and their leaders in government. Spokesmen for this source of power drew the popular imagination to the exciting economic fugure. The Arenos felt that their silent bayou, their buried kin, their dead trees were forgotten. ~ Arlie Russell Hochschild
Plastics quotes by Arlie Russell Hochschild
It was a perfectly normal gerbil. It appeared to be living in an exciting construction of cylinders, spheres and treadmills, such as the Spanish Inquisition would have devised if they'd had access to a plastics molding press. ~ Neil Gaiman
