I'm shipping off to Cameroon with the Peace Corps in June. I'll be working in computer education and I've been told by those currently working in country that they are great to give out to students. So If you want to wipe them and donate them, what ever the size I would be happy to take them.

I don't know if this is correct it has been awhile since I took physics. If the gas is compressed before it hits the turbine and uncompressed as it hits it. The uncompressing of the gas cools it, and that might be enough to recondense the liquid. It probably depends on the properties of the liquid/gas they are using. Does that sound right?
I think that it should be our responsibility, as the dominate species, to do our best to take care of our environment. Part of this is managing our waste, sure it is easy to toss everything in to one big pile and forget about it, but that could be dangerous. It could lead to pollution of our water table, witch will effect wild and domestic plants alike. It will find our way into our food, and then into the population, as well as the populations of every other species.
Now humans will probably survive this, the human body can handle a lot of toxic substances. But smaller species will not be able to handle it so well. Insects , birds, and small mammals could die. If the insects go, then our crops will not get pollinated and they will not produce food.
This may not happen in your life time, but it could happen in further generations. But if we continue to just throw everything in one big pile there will be measurable affects some where down the road.
Also it just make sense, to me anyways, to reuse our resources. We may not run out of them anytime soon, but we can slow the rate of consumption and have a system in place for when we do run out, when ever that may be.
Sure, there may be negative effects to some recycling processes. But many of these processes are new, and are still evolving; they have the potential to lead to new methods that don't produce waste toxic to the environment. Most, if not all of the recycling methods have the same or less equivocal environmental impact as creating the product the first time.
I think over all we should be more broad sited to recognize that recycling is going to have to be a major part of humans future on Earth.
