The typical red brick is fired at about 1000°C so the plastic would burn so that would only change the sate of your waste from solid to gas, generating a different type of pollution

you must be talking about building bricks based on a mixture of sand and portland cement. you would need to find a way to shred the plastic, to small pieces, preferably not stripes.
Then you would have to do a series of tests to investigate the amount of plastic you can add to a brick to maintain mechanical resistance.

One possible advantage would be that the permeability (water penetration) would be improved. Not to mention savings in the usage of natural resources like sand, which althouhg is a very abundant resource, its mining has consequences in the habitats of some species.

Permaculture Answer: Die hard recycler, you are right we do not recycle enough. Your actions at work were obviously inappropriate in that setting but human manure is indeed very valuable. If you think about ecosystems as systems you quickly realize that perhaps this one of the most valuable things to recycle. It is the 'droppings' of animals that help to maintain the structure, richness and root associates in soil. At the moment I am really into waste management, when you start looking at modern day 'waste management' with its massive losses in outputs and processing it is outrageously wasteful. Take alongside this the stupidity of replacing the best natural fertilizer (human manure) back onto the land with the chemically produced, highly processed, energy intensive, poisonous fertilizers we add back to the land. It is a nonsense. Stop polluting the 'waste' water with chemicals, cleaners, the pill.

So I am trusting you to promise to behave at work in future with the reward of starting you off on some good websites:

Yes! that sounds awesome!
You may want to contact your I live in an apartment.

How can I recycle?

"Municipal or county-operated curbside-recycling programs generally do not serve apartment buildings. More counties and municipalities are instituting recycling programs for multi-family dwellings over time. If you live in an apartment building, you can certainly recycle. One way is to ask your building property manager to set-up a recycling program. If not, a list of County drop-offs is available on MDE's recycling web page."-this is an example..see the link below.

These are REALLY simple questions.
I'm sure if you opened your textbook, you'll easily find the answers.
