Go back to glass containers. Or are all of those factories shut down now or making plastic bottles and such and re-tooling would be too costly? Last time I looked SAND was plentiful - but Mother Government will now close all sand pits, LOL!
Have you ever seen a country such as ours, where ‘progress’ is anything BUT?!?!?
Our Cow Town of less than 300 people (and a few thousand cows) just GOT recycling containers three years ago. I’ll bet you a 6-pack (in plastic) that it’s still ALL going to the same dumpsite.
More ‘progress!’ *SNORT*
Have some fun—follow that recycle truck around town to its final destination.
Take pictures if it is proven fake.
In a small town like yours you can have an amazing impact.
