Recycling is the Answer

Recycling is the Answer

Many things are wrought in recycling than this world ever dreamt of. Well, that’s a Shakespeare. But don’t you see the many benefits of recycling?

You’ve heard it before, you’ve read it before, many, many times – help fight climate change and global warming. How?

Recycling is one of them. How, again?

I’ve been into recycling for many years now. Seldom do I buy new appliances. Well, you can say what you want to say, but, as I’ve said, there are many benefits in recycling. And here in this article, I’m going to teach you how to recycle, in a plain and simple way.

I repair my own television set, radio-cassette recorder, electric fan, washing machine and drier, and even my grandchildren’s electronic toys. I’ve been a vocational instructor and electronic technician for years. I spent half of my life with my electronic shop. My children have finished college, two have their own families now, and I’m now grandpa. They grew up with the sweat of my shop.

By the way, I’m now retired and now into copywriting. Here I’m going to share with you how you can be a television technician in just a short span of time. One article at a time, but a follow-up article will depend on the response of you readers. I assure you, nevertheless, that you will learn how to troubleshoot a television set. That’s a guarantee.

Yes you can be a technician or repairman or woman of your own home appliances even without having gone formally to a vocational or technical school. This article will act as your vocational instructor. You don’t need to spend thousands of money to go to a school to know the basics and the intricacies of really repairing or troubleshooting your appliances at home.

If you have the will, you can do it. Then we will turn that negative trait inside – from someone who scratches his/her head, puzzled over how the home appliance malfunctioned – to a real master of the house able to tame your appliances like pets. Don’t just throw that television set, or other appliances that you might be planning to replace with a brand new one.

With simple recycling and repair, you can help fight climate change and global warming. Well, literally, we can’t fight climate change. We can reduce it.

Handle simple tools like multi-tester, Philip screw driver, cutter, pliers, long-nose pliers, flat screw driver, etc. That’s our first lesson.

If you are interested in repair, I believe you know how to handle, or at least you’ve come across the tools mentioned above. A multi-tester is not so difficult to handle. It’s called multi-tester because it is used for testing or measuring DC and AC voltages, milli- and micro-Amperes, and resistance in resistors.

This is the first that you should master as a technician. You should know how to handle the multi-tester, whether an analog or digital tester. For a beginner like you, you can handle first an analog multi-tester. The digital one is too sensitive to handle that if you are not too careful, you could easily damage.

The first thing in mind as a repairman or serviceman of appliances is safety, i.e. being careful of every move that you’re going to do, be it you’re repairing or troubleshooting. One false move and you’re adding injury to the appliance you’re repairing or to your tools and equipment. Worst, you may hurt yourself.

One last reminder, any brand of multi-tester has instructions and precautions for use. Read it like you read any prescription or instruction of any product.

This is an introduction of future articles on appliance repair. For lack of space, we can continue on the next article.

This is my contribution on reducing climate change. By reducing the production of appliances and electronic materials, we can help fight climate change and too much coal gas emission. Manufacturers and makers of these appliances should not be encouraged to store surplus inventories. When there are too much in their warehouses, they go for the bargain, so they can produce more. What happens is that we also produce surplus garbage in our homes and backyard.
