WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

There's been lots of reports and shows here in Europe and that includes the UK about plastics for a few years now.

They're out to ban single use plastics here in Europe. Which is the biggest issue. Single use should only ever existed in specific cases and then even that should've been recycled.

There's a place for plastic but not as a cheap throw away thing that pollutes out environment.

The problem is huge. Most news focuses on the marine side which is bad but that's like the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot of hidden issues and it's just now coming out.

Things need to change but with powerful lobby groups and far right governments who think nothing is wrong we're pretty screwed.
Wish we were developing more recyclable plastics.

Wish we stopped making single use plastic... And pointless things out of plastic.
Agreed. Some of the tech I see get shipped in plastic I often wonder if that couldn't be done using recycled cardboard instead.

Wish we would stop selling bottled water. Period. People take the easy way out with cheap disposable containers.
What boggles is the country haven't shown the ability to manage domestic generated pollutants well at all, but record shows local companies has importing garbage from 19 countries since 2018... even radioactive waste... just boggles.

That's because it was an economic issue. It was someone cheaper to ship and dump it in another country vs spending the money to better process it in the country of origin.

That in and of itself is utterly mind-boggling. It underlies the idea of how complex the recycling challenges are. Just another are where we kick the problems down the road.

Two in 24 hours. Oh boy. SMH.
I'm watching the overage with two feelings sitting my stomach. Sorrow for the families of the victims (and for the preps as well who will be victims in their own right of the "why didn't you prevent this" but of judgment).

The second is saddens - if Sandy Hook didn't move the issue forward, I doubt these last two will. I hope to be wrong, and won't be surprised if I'm correct in my observation.

I think I'm going to end up getting an air fryer after all. I think there's always this fine balance in cooking of melding skill with equipment reliance. Guess that's with all sorts of other things these days.

Nice.. Is that guitar & flashy garb of Hendrix? I was listening to quite a bit of Hendrix, esp his first 3 albums & several of his "blues" compilation.
And I always have time for Bowie... He had tons and tons of great tracks.. and albums..
It's an 8 string bass and outfit belonging to John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.

I'll be in and out as I have to finish strong for this summer class. I'll probably be here of course but not as much when I'll need to work on this last paper and presentation.

Good luck on your paper and presentation for your class.
