So you are smart enough to practice safe sex (preventing both   pregnancy and STDs) by properly using a condom.  But what do you do with   the condom when you are done with it?  Here are some hints on   environmentally-friendly condom disposal.

Firstly, don't flush   your condoms, ever!  Flushing condoms is not the way to deal with them.    Condoms can clog the plumbing in your house (or the plumbing wherever   you happen to be).  This can be an expensive and embarrassing situation.       If the condom manages to make it through your septic system, it will   only end up with the solid waste.  This means that somebody has to pull   it out of the sewage treatment, which isn't pleasant for anybody.  The   condom might even make it past the treatment plant.  This is not good   because it means that it could end up in the water supply, and the last   thing we need is more pollution in our rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Not     all condoms are made equally.  Most condoms are made of latex, which   means that they will biodegrade.  Latex, however, does not biodegrade   when it is under water, which is why it is not good to flush your used   condoms.  Condoms are not entirely made of latex, however, and the other   things on condoms (spermicide, lubricant) might affect the   biodegradability.  The best option seems to be to send them to a   landfill and see how they pass the test of time.

Some condoms,   including all female condoms, are made of polyurethane, a type of   plastic.  These will not biodegrade.  There is no option, however,   except to put them in the garbage, because your local recycling depot   won't recycle used condoms.  They won't even recycle new condoms.

Other     condoms are made of lambskin.  These are completely biodegradable   condoms.  Don't run out and get lambskin condoms just yet though!    Lambskin condoms do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.    The pores in the lambskin are small enough to stop sperm, and so prevent   pregnancy, but the pores are large enough to let sexually transmitted   diseases and infections through.  This option is only viable for people   in monogamous relationships who have been tested for sexually   transmitted diseases.  If this is the case, you could consider an even   more environmentally friendly barrier form of birth control such as a   diaphragm, cervical cap, or shield.  Ask your doctor what is best for   you.

Regardless of what material of condom you use (latex,   polyurethane, or lambskin), you are going to have a wrapper to dispose   of.  These foil wrappers will not biodegrade, nor can they be recycled.    This simply has to be put in the garbage.

Even if your latex or   lambskin condoms are biodegradable, it is best not to try to compost or   bury your condoms.  Animals will smell the human scent and try to dig up   what you have buried.  This means that there will be unsightly used   condoms around.  Burying your condom is tantamount to littering: and   there are better ways to deal with your condoms available.

So, in   the end, what is the best way to dispose of your condoms?  The best   thing is to wrap it in a bit of toilet paper or paper towel (or any   other biodegradable material: think paper bases such as paper bags) and   then to put it in the garbage.  Don't wrap your condom up in plastic, as   then it certainly won't biodegrade.  The good news is that the semen   and vaginal fluid on the condom certainly will biodegrade, and might   facilitate the condom biodegrading.

And lastly, remember...never   reuse a condom.  Although reduce, reuse, and recycle is the motto for   environmentalism, you need to put your health first on this one.  Don't   minimize your condom use, don't reuse your condoms, and it's too bad   that you can't yet recycle them.  To think on an environmentally broader   scale, using condoms is environmentally friendly because it is   preventing the spread of communicable diseases.  It is also preventing   conception, and children have been documented to be hugs consumers of   global resources.

Hopefully soon we will be able to figure out an   environmentally friendly way to practice safe sex.  Until then, we'll   make do with what we can, and we will continue using condoms.

Black Sabbath hails from Britain; the band was forged in 1968 and has rocked on in different guises since then. Through the years the band's lineup has changed with Tony Iommi the constant glue holding the band together. He is the main founding member. The original lineup was Tony Iommi (guitar), Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Geezer Butler (bass), and Bill Ward on drums.

The Black Sabbath was undeniably one of the originators of heavy metal. Their debut album Black Sabbath in 1970 zapped the musical public with tuned down riffs and a sound well suited for a horror flick; it was received well in England. The band released a second album in 1970 called Paranoid, which established the group as a popular band in the U.S. They issued Master of Reality in 1971, Volume 4 in 1972, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in 1973, and Rolling Stone's Gordon Fetcher praised the album as "an extraordinarily gripping affair." By happenstance, Tony Iommi produced a riff, which created the atmosphere for this album and complex musical arrangements, strings, and synthesizers produced a much fuller, creepy sound than the band had achieved before this album, though it used some of the stylistic refinements of their previous release, Volume 4.

Management disputes erupted in 1974, when they signed with Don Arden and the prior management had contractual issues. In 1975 Black Sabbath released Sabotage; it hit the top 20 in England and the U.S., but it didn't rise to Platinum in the United States as all of its forerunners had done. In 1976 they issued Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die was released in 1978. The songs Never Say Die and Hard Road reached the top 40 in Britain. Ozzy Osbourne's final show with the band until they reunited was December 11, 1978 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He split form the group in 1979 and formed the Ozzy Osbourne Band. Ronnie James Dio became the new singer for Black Sabbath.

The band released the album Heaven and Hell in 1980. It was well received and this album is attributed with reviving the band's heavy metal sound. It popped up to number 9 in the British chart and number 28 in the United States; this was Black Sabbath's peak charting since Sabotage. Mob Rules was released in 1981. The fans liked it, but J. D. Considine of Rolling Stone wasn't as enthusiastic; he stated that "Mob Rules finds the band as dull-witted and flatulent as ever." But Eduardo Rivadavia of All Music called the album "a magnificent record." Born Again was issued in 1983 with singer Ian Gillian formerly of Deep Purple. It climbed the charts in Britain to number 4 and placed 39 in the U.S. The band released Eternal Idol in 1987; the reviews weren't forthcoming except online and the album wasn't big commercially.

The band reunited off and on with Ozzy Osbourne from 1997 to 2006. Black Sabbath has the legacy of basically creating heavy metal and sub-genres have grown out of it such as sludge metal and doom metal.
