It just seems so much easier to NOT do all this doesn't it.

It has become, "Pick your type of recycling". Some are more popular than others. We use leftovers, often wear older clothes. Hubs has a bunch of little garage odds and ends stored in red plastic coffee cans. One of my older friends here knew that a butterfly bush was going to be torn up and discarded when her daughter got a swimming pool and called me to rescue it. I do think most people are aware of being careful of the earth and of the environment, no matter how they vote. I am getting tired of some things being beat to death that no one can change. Again. We all use motor cars. Industrialization has halved poverty and hunger since the 1990's. Look it up. There is no pat answer and a lot of this is people trying to be more virtuous than the other. I am impatient with that sometimes.
