It's cheaper to pump oil out of the ground than to recycle plastics,

costs of waste disposal and the long term effects on the environment
for future generations. I think that our generation will be viewed as
incredibly wastrel litter louts.

Pious twaddle.

You mean as in the same way that we view with contempt generations in
the 17th and 8th centuries who cut down the forests of southern England
to provide wood to build ships with? Those *arseholes* !! Why didn't
they think of the future and leave those primeval forests alone for
*us* to enjoy?


Never mind them how about the assholes that covered the UK in green
fields instead of wild forests.
