DNC trash sorting a dirty secret
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/aug/29/dnc-trash-sorting-a-dirty-secret/
The Flag issue aside, as a fairly “radical” child of the 60’s, recycle was one of my favorite words. I was stunned when I went to Germany and saw they actually preached it.
One of the biggest problems in the way of recycling, is that it usually takes more energy to recycle and re-use, than it does to make a new one. In most of Europe, instead of innovating and finding a better method, they subsidize it. Here, we build houses on top on landfills. LOL
Back to the Flag issues...they should have donated those Flags to Veteran groups, Cemeteries, Boy Scouts, Schools, etc. The leftovers should be warehoused for future use.
Even being Dummies, I’m surprised at this.
As I first started reading the story, I was wondering why didn’t they have the people in the convention sort their trash and it would have been so much easier and then I saw at the end that they did try but I guess most Dims can’t read or follow directions.
They legislate and mandate with wonderful touchy feely enviro-waco ideas ... but they do not think through the consequences of their "Community Organizing" activist ideas. Their type of thinking is why a large part of their base thinks socialism and communism is still their only salvation.
They could have given the concession to their trash problem to all the homeless they drove out of the area ... all the salvageable trash would have been scarfed up soon enough.
