-- Quote of the Day --
“…Where I live, the second
smallest county in Florida, but we have something like 3300 people per square
mile. …And the traffic shows that – it is a chore to get from point A to point
B if you drive, it’s a little easier and a lot more pleasant if you ride your
bicycle. …I’m a practical cyclist, I’m not a racer – but I enjoy the mob of
bikes I have in the garage. …We looked at absolutely everything in every room –
what doesn’t need to be plugged in? …looking for appliances without digital
clocks; putting things on power-strips; if I’m not on the computer it is
unplugged from the wall… and doing things like this we got our power bill from
over a hundred a month to thirty. …We are going to have to downsize on a personal
level; you’re not going to be driving everywhere like we are now, you might not
want to take the job that is 30 miles from your home; or drive across town for
that special coffee you like. …The real question is: what is the no-oil
sustainable population of Earth?”

-- Of Plastics --
There are a lot of different types, shapes and sizes of
plastics hitting the recycling system – which is fantastic when we consider how
quickly participation in plastic recycling has grown – however the shear number
of variants can really complicate the recycling separation systems that we
currently have in place. So what they’ve done is request new baling
specifications into things like tubs and buckets and their lids, and other
bales having things like shrink wrap and plastic bags. This way, the plastics
are already partially separated prior to hitting the recycling processing
plant.
