"...What do you folks think?..."
One of the guys that brought this to my twn (6, 8 yrs ago). It is a 'thought invoker'
for the public. Yeah, sure, U can C alot of them flappin in the trees around here BUT
that's not it. Plastic, left to degrade on the ground (anywhere) is toxic (mutnigenic,
cancer causing). Only 1 & 2 R recyclable. Amer Chem Assoc (loby arm of plastics industry)
got the other 5 #s on there. There is nowhere w/o plastic around now (water, field, mt. top, ocean).
We process a crd crd sz thru our body. Time to reduce it in packaging and other uses.
Many co send it back to where it was created rather than pay all the costs (more than financial) included w/its use.
I have enuff plastic bags I use them for the required containment of my trash (will not take it w/o).
If we got a handel on plastics and got the compost outta our trash we would do a huge 1/2 planet repair. 20 - 40%
of the trash is actually garbage. Removing it saves $ on the haul, can create 'black gold' (good dirt). Just like the earth it's best to have our 'products' not reach 'end use' but flow back into the next use.
