i do believe in recycling ...

living in a city the size of toronto - seeing them struggle to find places that will accept the trash (for money) is pretty sad.


my neighbourhood just went through a test for the last few months where we had to use transparent bags for garbage.

metal and recyclable plastics went in one bin, paper and cardboard went in another - and food garbage/kleenex/animal litter went into a green bin.

whatever was left went into the clear bags.

yeah it took more time and was a pain in the ass to do but i found that the more care we took to seperate these things, the very little 'true garbage' there was left.

i dont think we're doing it to save money - we're doing it to be better global citizens. when we see what the 'real garbage' is - i think you'll see the government and businesses finding ways to reduce that even more.

its not perfect yet - but its a big important first step.


dinosaurs - big giant fuckers who's every day existence was an eat or be eaten fight for survival lived on this planet for about 250 million years and left it pretty much the way they found it.

for a teeny fraction of that time humans have turned it into a garbage dump that gets worse every second. I'm all for being part of the solution.
