I hope some visionaries continue to develop unique systems like Sweden to manage the situation in a more productive way - there are so many answers to the situation, and we need to employ them ALL!
I did a quick Google search for Delaware recylces and found this on the website: If items such as plastics, paper, and cans are mixed with garbage, they will not be separated from the garbage. This mixture will be placed into the landfill. DSWA does accept asbestos at all three DSWA landfills. http://www.dswa.com/faq_landfills.asp Please everyone check your landfill, you may be doing good with your trash but the end could be the same as those that don't do good. |

Just think of the packaging you accumulate every time you go food shopping. Everything is packaged. Even sweet potatoes are individually wrapped. What is wrong with USA is that we accept it and don't question or argue against it.
Bags in bags in boxes. We buy more packaging than product these days and it is our own fault. I will not use the plastic bags in the vegetable isles I do not use plastic bags to carry groceries I try to only buy open food and put it in my own bags. I do not accept bags for small purchases. It is every ones responsibility to reduce, reuse, recycle and re purpose, like scraps of fabric! peace |
