The employers and employees need to find other work.

There is a woman in India build a whole new industry. She could take on business partners to expand.

She has invented (engineers have worked with her) a process that takes plastics that could be sent to be recycled, but often just tossed out and from them she creates a fuel - currently good enough for heating oil standards and some vehicles (tractors are named). The process essentially “cooks” the plastic, under pressure, captures gases (like methane) and uses them as fuel for the process, and produces fuel from the condensate given off in the process.

She pays individuals and collectors for the plastic, which is usually obtained from folks who usually would have just tossed it out. She’s saving landfill space and cleaning up the surrounding towns. She’s making a small profit, selling the fuel. But, without expansion she alone will not make a big dent in the mountains of plastic tossed into the environment.

When your business is dying, its time to put the work into a different one, or invent a new one.

Agreed. We can make our own clothes here again.

And screw the damned unions.
