I'm less pleased with the pollution. What the USA does not need... more laws. -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

I've done work with a local recycler. They would process ~3500 pounds of "donations" every day, 6 days a week. And, they weren't a "mainstream" service! You had to KNOW they existed and where to find them!! The saddest part was how much of it was in reusable condition... just "outgrown" (I want THIS year's model!). Even sadder to see how much of it was scrapped because of "manufacturing economies" -- save a few pennies here, cut the product life in half... |
