Yes... so true.. I think the big companies that produce all the containers that we buy our goods in should perhaps look at alternative methods, that are biodegradeable...

The article mainly focused on food waste - which is easy enough to deal with via wormeries or compost bins! If every family washed out bottles and cans before putting them in the recyling bin, then that would help too! I suspect that the only way we are going to reduce what goes in the bin is by charging for waste removal!

I also suspect that a lot of the landfill problems will go away once the oil runs out.....

Wow Helium energy! what a concept.
I wonder what environmental impact that would have, we all need to do what we can.
Thanks for the post, now I have more learning to do!
Thank you!!!

.Iain Parkes ... how funny, I thought I was the only loon to rinse all my containers before I dispose of them, either to the recycle bin or in the garbage, bottles, plastic, even catfood cans ... I just hate to have food residue decompose in my garbage can! So glad that my mother taught me so well!
