Plastic is the biggest problem. It never ceases to amaze me how the uses of plastic proliferate. Frozen vegetables now often come in these really tough plastic bags likely so they can have a zip-lock fastener at the top. I can't imagine how long it takes them to break down in landfill. What was wrong with an ordinary light plastic or cellophane bag that you seal with the twist-tie.
And my favourite peeve is that cat litter now often comes in these huge, heavy plastic containers. Has no one observed that cat litter used to come in much more eco-friendly paper bags ... stuff we eat like flour and sugar still comes in paper bags? I am at a loss to understand these contradictions.
Still this is very impressive technology. Except for the fact that the 'problem' shouldn't exist.
That is very inspiring and brilliant. Thanks for sharing that. It's gross the amount of trash in the ocean. I won't hold my breath either. Not enough humans and people of position seem to care. Now at the showroom I work at we have a line of mattresses that are actually made from bottles and plastics found in the ocean. I was glad to learn that.
Maddie - Mattresses made from ocean plastic, that's neat. However, I often wonder what happens to things like that when their usefulness is over. Where do they go?

ReplyDeleteIt will be an endless task. Humanity is oblivious to anything but its own pleasure.
ReplyDeleteWe obviously have the technology, but as a species, do we have the WILL to do this?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. "ain't holding my breath."
Here in Montreal ALL plastics like bags, dishes, ustensiles etc will be forbiden on next October 2022.
ReplyDeleteWe are here doing a big job in recycling plastic, metal and paper but nothing is perfect but we are trying to to better.
We are a small part of North America so our weight in the balance is little.
JiEL - Banning all plastics is a good start.

ReplyDeleteWhat are we doing with our oceans?
ReplyDeleteMakes my heart hurt... so sad.
ReplyDeleteHenri - We are ruining them, my friend.
