I do my best to recycle on a regular basis. I’m sure there are many things I can learn to improve what I do though – - one thing I would like to start doing is re-filling my water bottles instead of purchasing new ones… that’s the next step, I guess!

Blessings.

Sincerely,

That pic you have of the recycling not being presented properly label is getting more commonplace in the UK now. People are being fined for not putting the correct stuff in the correct bin, or putting the wrong type of plastic in the plastic bin or not shutting the bin lid properly. Although I applaud the efforts of councils to do their bit, this fining people all the time is getting silly. Good article.

Repurposed reduces the demand for the 'bad product' today, but the 'bad product repurposed' is still trash, un-recycled. I like the car-tire analogy I made (as used to hold river banks in place, each tire outfitted with a tree) which was wishful thinking at the time. They were really just landfilling the tires and planting an equal number of 'forgiveness trees' (what we today spin as 'reducing our carbon footprint.')<br /> <br /> Yes, not good. True yes.

You can buy ladies' bags made of tire rubber and re-purposed movie posters, drinks boxes, and other fun stuff. Unfortunately, these products are about twice the price of comparable ones made of "evil" materials. Saving the environment is not always pretty and it costs! Nice writing!

I feel powerless, so I try to 'make fun' of this serious issue.<br /> <br /> Glad you enjoy my foray into the subject. <br /> <br /> Warmest regards,<br /> -thestickman As an American living in Canada, I was SHOCKED to discover a few years ago that trash pickup from Toronto was being driven over the border and being buried in northern Michigan (this has stopped) and, that waste from nuclear medicine (gowns, syringes, low-level radiation stuff, etc.) from the U.S. was being shipped into Canada for disposal (again, this has stopped) Appalling!
