One of the main reasons I want to move there is precisely the Covanta plant. No longer have to separate recycling (actually I’ve never done that in the first place - most people don’t understand what makes something recyclable). And now that Covanta does it this way, everything is recyclable! You should be glad that the grocery stores don’t dispense with plastic bags. I come from California (work) where plastic bags have been banned, but they didn’t ban all plastics, which doesn’t make sense, just plastic bags. So the bags you put your produce in, and all the plastics that are used like the plastic rings that bottled (plastic) sodas come in are okay. What??? And nobody at the stores can tell you what is done with the money they collect from bag sales. You think that the state of California uses that money to pick up the bags that are discarded and left blowing in the wind, which is exactly what they were trying to avoid.

This reminds me of what my husband always says about heaven - it’s a fallacy to think you could get a bunch of people living together without someone complaining about something.
