I can’t help but think that many simple solutions were in effect years ago, as a matter of course. Such as deposit on glass (only type of container available at the time) bottles of pop…those bottles were returned to the store when empty, we’d get our deposit back and the bottles would be reused for another round of ‘pop distribution’.

I was surprised to read that you have the same problem as we do when it comes to the actual recycling of recyclables. I think the root cause of the ecological crisis is packaging (banana boxes included!). If items were not packaged there would be so much less to throw away and pollute the Earth.

Yeah…and then we get chided for not ‘doing our part’…I just hope the younger generation doesn’t loose heart and give up!

Rubbishgate…what a fantastic classy term you’ve just coined (because it actually sounds so upper crusty British)!

Yeah, I remember seeing a documentary once which showed huge freighters piled high with ‘recyclables’ just dumping them in the ocean for goodness’ sake! Don’t get me started!!!HA!

Sounds like a lot of our recycling in the past was sent to China, where they dumped much of it in the rivers and ocean! Ugh!

Soon is such a relative term for me…I’ll say sooner than later and leave it at that!HA! But, we’re moving closer to ‘home’ and it’s been a long time coming!
Enjoy your summer, Jennie.
