Christmas Waste

 

During Christmas, we people generate high volumes of waste.

“Approximately 70,000 tonnes of packaging waste is generated per household.”

Even though we are improving our practises regarding managing our waste, the people of Ireland need to be more vigilant about separating recyclable waste from non-recyclable waste, it is not a difficult task to carry out – one just has to alter their habits.

With regard to batteries, we use batteries in our laptops and phones, and the mountains of electronic toys delivered by Santa or gifted by generous friends and family. WEEE Ireland have the ability to recycle the old and used batteries, waste electrical and electronic equipment.

Research shows that one in five people still put batteries into general waste which is unacceptable. “Every retailer that sells batteries is obliged to take them back for recycling and the WEEE Ireland blue (battery collection) box is very prominent.”

Many of us have real Christmas trees to dispose of after Christmas. Most County Councils recycling facilities have set dates whereby people can take in their real Christmas trees free of charge to dispose and recycle them.

So overall, if we manage our waste properly, each of us can make a big difference in reducing the amount of recyclable waste reaching landfill.

On that note, we, All Security Mobile Shredding Ltd want to wish each and every one of our readers, followers and clients a Happy and Safe Christmas.

“The Security of the Cloud …”

iCloud security wake-up call

 

As a result from the security issues surrounding iCloud, “The general move to cloud services is going to suffer..” “In the wake of a leak at the start of the month, Apple added new security measures to its iCloud service. Apple was late to the game with two-factor authentication, but most of these (celebrity) images were likely hacked before it brought in that update”, Conor Flynn stated to the Sunday Business Post. “These leaks should act as a wake-up call to Irish smart-phone users to keep account of where their data is being stored, according to Michael Conway – director of Renaissance”.

If the public was better educated about the methods and locations for storage of their data, it would minimise the risk to the user. “People share information so-freely in social media circles, the logical step is just saving that information in the cloud”.

According to the Sunday Business Post, the simple solution is to encrypt your files before saving to a cloud service because even if that cloud provider is compromised, your files are useless to anyone who gets them without the encryption key.
