I just thought this up.  With the cardboard cartons stick a bit of paper in the bottom and pour used cooking oil in it . Stick more paper in to soak it up (or sawdust) . Keep going until it''s full. Good fire starter.

wouldn't it be better to just put the cartons in the recycling bin and not pollute the atmosphere?  ;)

When burnt used cooking oil is less harmfull than the stardard fire lighters which are petrolium based  ;) My jeep runs on the stuff and every year the mot emmisions are very low compared to normal diesel cars and mines nearly 3 tons of 4x4  :D

thats not my point, i mean would it not be better to recycle rather than burning it and polluting the atmosphere?

But surely, if you're using spent cooking oil instead of fire lighting fluid you ARE recycling, and the fact that it burns with less emissions than fire lighting fluid means there's a net reduction in atmospheric pollution anyway. Two birds with one stone. Or should I say, one pint of cooking oil  :wub:

So what do you do with the cooking oil and the milk carton?The milk carton is lined with polyvinylchloride to seal it. And whatever you do it all ends up back in the soil where it came from, so put it to some use.

well its either attemp to recycle the milk carton or burn it and pollute the air which inturn will polute the oceans, plants and soil. at least if you attempt to recycle it you can mimimise the impact on the earth.

The question remains, eventually the milk carton rots down and pollutes the soil, a little later than sooner perhaps. The real answer is buy milk in bottles. It's all oxidisation whatever happens. ( when all else fails, bloind 'em wi' science mate.)
