No...there is no 'nutrition' in used motor oil. It's petroleum. Fertilizers work by adding nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil. Besides, why on earth would you want to spread that on your lawn? Doing so causes it to leach into the ground, the water supply, and will probably kill whatever you might have growing. Petroleum is toxic to plants, so keep it far away from any growing things. Used motor oil also picks up heavy metals from the engine, especially old...

Another point of view: It is bad. China had a per capita carbon emission of about five tons in 2008, exceeding the world average of 4.18 tons per capita. Older answers: Data on the air quality in Beijing is difficult to come by and difficult to interpret when available. Factors such as the location of monitoring sites strongly impacts the perception of quality. However, the following external information may prove useful. According to the European Space Agency, Beijing and its neighbouring north-east Chinese provinces have...

It would depend on what the equipment is for, and whether a new replacement is cheaper. On environmental concerns, you'd have to consider if the repair would use less resources including fuels than replacement; and if the replacement would use less fuel for the same work. ...

Plastic is not inherently "bad for the environment", it depends entirely on how you manage your plastics waste.

Nuclear waste is going to be heavy, meaning you need a bigger rocket, more...

Liquid waste (urine) was collected in a Urine Collection Device, used in common by the crew of an Apollo spacecraft. Roll-on cuffs provided personal sanitary protection for the astronauts using the collection device. The urine was then transferred through the Urine Transfer Tube to a tank, from which the liquid waste was vented into space. Fecal matter was sealed in a Fecal Bag with a liquid germicide and sealed again in an outer bag. This solid waste was then placed into a Sanitation...
