The Plastic problem we all need to conquer

I don't buy it. I'll admit it sounds reasonable. Someone took a shortcut somewhere.

 

Milk in glass properly process is a treat. Always will be. Heck my tanker trailer hauling the stuff is close to being glass inside the linings.

 

My employer runs a landfill and recycling plant. We aren't a global brand. Our recycling center is such a waste of everyones time/money. Unless you are strictly on a recycling route, Everything goes to the landfill or our demolition pit to be crushed and hauled by walking floor to another state.

Recycling is a feel good BS made up by a jobs program.

Plastic / Glass sucks and hard to sort. not worth it

 

I saw they tried to make pavement with junk in a few places,wonder how that held up.

 

Remember the days before plastic bags and bottles. Kids could at least make extra money on deposit returns.

 

They did have one program on PBS about the 2 liter bottles being used to make poly fill for winter coats. ONe bottle was enough to line one coat. I believe this was in China. Walmart was in with the deal there.

 

Wow, you're oldddddd ddd dd.

 

Well 62 for another month. I also used cloth diapers on the kids because disposables were too expensive and didn't like that they ended up in a landfill and that was way before they started putting whatever the gell that is in them. I know some things are better now as far as pollution. If you ever were through Whiting, IN back then, it was terrible with the smell and they cleaned that all up finally. But there wasn't all the plastic floating out in the ocean like there is now. Milk still was in glass bottles with a deposit on them, wash, sterilize and reuse.
