If nothing is done to stop filling up the landfills or slow it down then more landfills will be needed. Sooner or later you may be living next door to a Landfill! By recycling we can slow this down and at the same time slow down the use of oil. Seem like most people want to find reasons not to recycle. We can recycle now or wait until we have no choice. Let’s wait until a can of Pepsi cost about $5.00 a CAN or Bottle! Sooner or later the cost of making the cans from raw metals or making bottles will cost more. For the most part things are not that bad yet. Let’s wait until it’s so bad we don’t have a choice. We always seem to wait until another LAW is passed to protect us from us. One of my favorate lines I hear is …. It won’t happen in My life time so why should I care!!! We made our world a throw away world where it’s easy to forget that it took longer for metals we use to make things to a long time to be produce. Water is of the things we think about a lot… Earth is 3/4 covered in it but only about 1 % is drinkable. Then there is warming of the Earth. Not all the ICE that is melting is in the water, some of it is on land so when it melts…….. sorry getting off topic here i’ll stop.

Wow. Just another way for environmentalists to begin to control every aspect of your life. We are already going to have to spend extra moola for these ridiculous cap and trade taxes…all for what?? Lowering the temerature of the Earth by a single degree. C’mon…let’s quit falling for these radical politician’s ecofatalist lies. I’ll stop throwing away plastic bottles as soon as Al Gore stops flying his fuel burning planes around. I didn’t know our boys in Afghanistan were dying for the government’s right to punish citizens for throwing away plastic bottles. What’s next….putting a ban on paper. This slope is very slippery.

I have been recycling for a long time-I do not find it inconvenient-I have lived in NC for the past 2yrs and hopefully remain here till the end. The thing that I find so dishearting is the amount of abandent mobil homes everywhere. In the Sneads Ferry area alone I can show you at least 100 in a 5 mile radius. These abandend structures are made of wood, alumine, glass, steel, etc. Isn’t there anyway to involved the removal of these eye sores in a program for recycling. NC is a beautifull state with much ecolizical benifits if they where all taken advantage of. The land that is blited by these a structures could be put to a much better use if sometime was done about their present state, I am sure that much wild life have found home within them, but that habitate would be ablilte to live on the live without them being present. I have been told that it would cost 5K per unite for removal. Any thoughts on what could be done.
