MTV Brazil has devised a particular machine capable of making guitar picks starting from plastic cards. Just insert your card into the special slot on the machine, operate a manual lever and extract your new pick, which will be as new and ready to be used on stage by any guitarist. The special machine has been baptized "Green Picks Recycle Machine" and in the spot that advertises it, it seems to be a real dream for every guitarist.
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him
Each of us, year after year, finds himself accumulating a certain number of plastic cards. ATMs, credit cards, bus or train cards, health cards, tax codes, telephone cards, prepaid cards, loyalty cards from shops and supermarkets, university, school or library cards, and so on and so forth. put some. Overall, the plastic cards have two aspects in common: the deadline and the fact of cannot be recycled.
Once they have expired, the cards can no longer be reused and, unless you are a collector, you will have to throw them in the trash, among the unsorted waste. But here comes an ingenious solution from abroad in order to be able to reuse them at least in part for the joy of musicians, with particular reference to those guitarists who use the pick to play their instruments.

According to the BioFina Group, which studied the environmental impact of credit cards, if half a million people decided to throw away their old credit card or other plastic card at the same time, they would have to deal with the accumulation of over 500 kg of non-recyclable plastic, therefore with an enormous amount of waste to be sent to landfills and which could remain there for decades thanks to their very low biodegradability.
Finally, if we were to take into consideration how up to 4 grams of oil are required to make each plastic card, we would begin to reconsider whether the increasingly frequent use of them (for example to replace bus or metro tickets) is from to really consider a positive step forward in respect of the environment, considering that the life span of each, due to the tight deadlines, does not normally exceed four or five years.
