I'm a Conservative in EVERY way, including resources usage.
BUT I DO use and appreciate Plastic Bags, Bottles and the like.
Good man! I also appreciate plastic bags, I just didn't realize how much until they were banned in San Luis Obisbo county where I live. I work in
Santa Maria, which is Santa Barbara county, they haven't banned plastic bags there yet and I find myself saving all of the plastic bags when I go to
Home Depot, OSH, the market etc and then bringing them home to use for picking up dog poop, trash and other things. I suppose it's just another
learning curve.
Thasit. Thanks Dennis.
Could something like this be the answer to the floating trash swirls in our oceans? Someone could make a lot of dinero with a floating processor.
Well, I'm perplexed about a sanitary and ecologically sound way to dispose of my garbage in Baja. I can (and do) compost the usual, but what about the
stuff that you can't compost (meat, bones, milk products, etc)?
Seems better to me to wrap them in plastic bags than toss them wrapped in decomposing paper bags into outdoor garbage containers. In Asuncion, the
garbage may sit for two week or more, hatching maggots, attracting rats and smelling nasty. Dogs and seagulls spread the detritus around town.
Definately not healthy!
And as an aside...what is crap lady in the video going to do with her cigarette butt?

Hi Zoe, maybe it doesn't work in town, but in San Nicolas, bones, meat and dairy waste went over the fence and was replaced by many footprints in the
morning. Clean as a whistle!
In reality, how much good can you do when the best taco shop in Asuncion wastes a plastic bag over every serving plates so they don't have to wash
them?
