Everybody you talk to wants to save the world. Be nice. Be politically correct. Feed the starving. Recycle waste. Eat right. Exercise. Be healthy. Conserve energy. Drive politely. Dress nice. Just be the greatest person in the world.
Flash forward to the reality of the world. Human nature is taking the path of least resistance. Sorry but true, we all do it. How many times do we do something that is a little bit wrong and just think in our minds do it. It is not going to hurt anything. So OK. Everybody does it!
I feel that as a world we could do a little better job of recycling things. Make a waste product something that we could reuse. I know that there are a certain amount of products we are recycling now. But how much further can we take it? When waste is taken to a landfill how much can we save? I think that about 1 percent of plastic is recycled. People are looking for jobs. Give them a job in recycling. Get that plastic waste down to 50% or less. No let it go. Wrong.
Organic waste is high. About half of the produce we get is just thrown away. Why not make a huge compost pile of it? Takes too much effort. The people that are not working would not want to take on such a task. It is much better to stay at home and watch TV. I like that too. But unfortunately I have to work as well.
I do not in any means that these be slave like jobs. They can be part time and you can take them for extra money if you that the motivation. You just go and say you want to work for however many hours for what days. Make a little extra money. What's wrong with that?
Working in a grocery store I see that the organic waste is high. The meat waste is high. We do recycle clean cardboard. We recycle waste meat. The vegetables are just throw away.
As a nation every bit of plastic, metal, paper, cardboard, oil and a sundry amount of other things could be recycled. So let us take recycling to the next level. Make an open market on this job. It would not be a profession. But simply something that you could do when you want to. To pick up some extra cash. Or full time as there would have to be administrators and supervisors. This is another opportunity for us to rise up out of the ashes. Set the standard.
The other day I had some one that was from some other place. And they complained about the American System. I told them that the door swings both ways. And if you do not like it go back to your Perfect system that you left. We will not miss you.
