published Dec. 3/2008: biowaste

The one on the "Southgate Council Roundtable" got published. The other two are variations on the same topic. I don't know about you, but something strikes me as weird about this whole thing. Now I admit that I'm putting words into people's mouths just to poke fun at what is the main news story. Is 100% capacity a totally good thing? Should this be something private enterprise is involved in? Should we not, as a society, be trying to both reduce waste and recycle the waste we do produce? Or am I just wasting my breath? Oh well, Mother Nature recycles wasted breath... for free!

Published Apr.4, 2008: Old Tires and T.V. recycling issue

There's some talk about a tax on tires and t.v.'s that supposedly would go towards funding the set up of proper facilities to recycle these things in Ontario. As far as I know, this is still just talk. And as usual, a lot of people don't like the word "tax".... but then again, a lot of people want everything for nothing. To take an old George Bush Sr. phrase and twist it a bit so that it actually makes sense... "Read my lips. Taxes are a democracies way of paying for things we should all have. Duh."
