In the wild, red-eyed treefrogs breed en masse during or following rains. To replicate these conditions in captivity, most breeders find it necessary to create a rain chamber. A rain chamber can be made out of just about any waterproof container – from a large aquarium to a modified plastic garbage bin. Positioned at the top of the terrarium, you will need a spray bar, which is connected to a small pump. When the pump is turned on, a rain storm is simulated and water drops descend from above. 1, record 1, English, - rain%20chamber

As mentioned, certain construction site materials that are not mixed together are charged at a different rate than mixed garbage items. Once that's complete, the materials in the waste bin will be sorted and anything that can be recycled will be taken out, in order to help the environment. 2, record 2, English, - mixed%20garbage

Montreal' s ecocentres are a great way for residents to contribute to reusing, recovering and recycling waste materials. This is where you can take all those items that you can’t put out for regular garbage pick-up. By encouraging sorting at the source, ecocentres make it possible to reuse or recover recyclables and go a long way toward reducing the amount of waste that ends up in the dump. 1, record 3, English, - ecocentre

L'écocentre est un site de réemploi, de récupération et de valorisation de matières résiduelles mis à la disposition de l'ensemble des citoyens de l'agglomération de Montréal. On y reçoit des matières qui ne sont pas acceptées dans la collecte régulière des ordures ménagères telles que : vêtements, électroménagers, encombrants, matériaux de construction ou de démolition, pneus usés, résidus domestiques dangereux (RDD), bois, terre, etc. En favorisant le tri à la source des matières, l'écocentre permet de réemployer ou récupérer des matières recyclables et contribue ainsi à la réduction de la masse des déchets. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9cocentre

Free learning may be all very well and good for the future, but what about those of us who have already been through the system? How can we establish a more positive and fruitful relationship to learning? The answer, it seems to me, is to clean out the garbage, expand your learning skills, and then use those skills. It is never too late to start being a free learner. As a start along that direction, I would especially recommend Jean Houston's The Possible Human. Get together with some friends and start a learning circle devoted to expanding your learning capacities. You might be amazed at the results. 1, record 4, English, - free%20learner

The modern garden prototype emerged out of a changed conception of what a garden should be.... It is typically small and enclosed by fences or walls, frequently confined to the back of the lot, the front being occupied with garage, guest parking and entry. The entire garden space is divided according to uses and the outdoor areas are connected by doors to the rooms of the house, e. g., kitchen to herbs, vegetables, garbage, and storage, living room to terrace and barbecue. It is used intensively for outdoor recreation, games, sunbathing, swimming, eating and drinking. Privacy is desirable. This garden type seems to represent the ideal for people of all income groups in many parts of the world today. 2, record 7, English, - modern%20garden

Le jardin moderne, que les paysagistes veulent rendre plus "fonctionnel" et mieux adapté aux loisirs, comprend essentiellement une surface gazonnée à peu près ininterrompue. Les allées compliquées ont presque entièrement disparu; seules subsistent, près de l'habitation, des voies d'accès, soulignées par une végétation appropriée. Ailleurs, on circule sur des dallages, sur des passe-pieds mis en évidence par une végétation pittoresque, arbustes aux rameaux divariqués, conifères aux branches étalées, plantes vivaces épanouies surtout au printemps et dont l'ensemble compose un décor aimable, varié et reposant. 2, record 7, French, - jardin%20moderne
