So the Chemistry of Carbon IS Worth Knowing

From the natural organic compounds we can make fibres, plastics, medicines, foods, dyes, cosmetics and paints, as well as fuels, etc. All of these are carbon products, but few are recycled . Why do you think that is Discuss this with a colleague. Is it the cost of collecting the materials The cost of re-cycling the materials Is it just the feeling that we have the material now, who cares about tomorrow  

Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are collectively called hydrocarbons
