you cannot create gold in alchemy it is just a myth.
Answer:
Alchemy was the forerunner of the modern science of chemistry. The Alchemists put most of their attention into figuring out two tasks - living forever and turning common metals into gold.

Trash can save your future only if it is disposed of properly or recycled to make new things. If trash is disposed of properly, then landfills won't fill up.
No. I never lost money with Alex, but I never invested money. I handled his promotion and worked with him doing seminars. I did fine. My father in law at the time lost $10,000 on one of Alex's schemes. I always liked the guy as a friend, but not as a business investment!
What are some bad things about plastic?
"One bad thing about plastic is its bad for the enviroment. You should use reuse able things that isn't plastic. Most wastes biodegrade (compost) but plastics do not."
Plastic is not inherently "bad for the environment", it depends entirely on how you manage your plastics waste. If you carelessly go around throwing plastic bags and empty plastic containers onto the ground, then of course it's a problem. If you collect and recycle them then there isn't a problem. Synthetic plastics in the environment basically just sit there - they are not intrinsically toxic or harmful.
The comment "most wastes biodegrade but plastics do not" is complete nonsense. Firstly, plastics DO biodegrade, they just do it very slowly. Also, if you place paper (recycled paper or any other type) into a landfill site, THAT will not biodegrade for years either. The reason is simple - biodegradation requires oxygen, and the inside of landfill sites are basically oxygen-free. No bugs can survive there, so no paper can degrade.
The whole "use paper cups, they're more environmentally friendly" thing is pseudoscientfic claptrap. They key point is the way that you handle and manage the waste, not what the waste is made of.
What do you think when you hear the term less harmful to the environment?
modern aerosols that no longer contain CFC's. the CFC's contributed to ozone depletion.
Answer:
"Less harmful to the environment" is a set of weasel words. Nobody knows what the words mean but the listner should know the words are covering something up. "Less harmful" should make you ask "Than what" and "Can you prove that". "Harmful" itself should make you wonder what harm is noted, as an example hand grenades are less harmful than atomic bombs but can kill you just as dead. The "environment" is so open to interpretation that it means nothing at all.
One should also wonder why the speaker has latched onto the environmental aspect to sell you his product. The fact that he is in the business of sellingsomething that still harms the environment (and potentially you) makes his motives questionable.
