You are browsing the internet for information about recycling. read the following discussion forum and answer the question. select the name of the person whose opinion is summarised by the following statement. rubbish dumped in landfills may contaminate the water supply. 1. (grant): recycling saves energy, which means less carbon dioxide is being emitted into the atmosphere. it takes far less energy to make a new aluminium can out of an old one - the same with glass, plastics and paper. 2. (rex): globally, power stations emit almost 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year. what good is me recycling my plastic bottle going to do? 3.(terri): if the recycling materials get contaminated, they have to be dumped in landfill anyway. people chuck plastic bags and other stuff that can't be recycled into recycling bins and it all gets dumped. 4. (harry): the process which turns old paper into pulp to make recycled paper burns as much fossil fuel and uses as much energy as the process to make non-recycled paper. often, the old paper is combined with fresh pulp from newly cut trees anyway. 5. (sofia): recycling paper reduces the need to cut down more trees. for every ton of recycled paper, nearly 17 trees get saved. each of these saved trees can absorb 250 pounds of carbon dioxide every year. 6. (pierre): we can't keep dumping our rubbish in landfills. the majority of rubbish buried in landfills is non-biodegradable. generally, it is not treated, and it can be toxic and seep into groundwater, contaminating rivers, streams and our drinking water. 7.(misha): one recycled plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours. there are around 26 million households in the uk. if we all recycle, imagine how much energy we could save. 8. (jen): let's take a step back and consider whether we need the product and all its packaging in the first place. how about reusing that plastic container? it costs less than recycling it.

Which excerpt from tinker v. des moines shows how precedent support an argument? a. "as we shall discuss, the wearing of armbands in the circumstances of this case was entirely divorced from actually or potentially disruptive conduct by those participating in it. it was closely akin to 'pure speech' which, we have repeatedly held, is entitled to comprehensive protection under the first amendment. cf. cox v. louisiana, 379 u.s. 536, 555 (1965); adderley v. florida, 385 u.s. 39 (1966)." b. "while the absence of obscene remarks or boisterous and loud disorder perhaps justifies the court's statement that the few armband students did not actually 'disrupt' the classwork, i think the record overwhelmingly shows that the armbands did exactly what the elected school officials and principals foresaw they would." c. "i, for one, am not fully persuaded that school pupils are wise enough, even with this court's expert from washington, to run the 23,390 public school systems [n4] in our 50 states." d. "under our constitution, free speech is not a right that is given only to be so circumscribed that it exists in principle, but not in fact. freedom of expression would not truly exist if the right could be exercised only in an area that a benevolent government has provided as a safe haven for crackpots."
