I know waste is a huge problem in the USA and abroad currently. Please do not make the mistake of harming precious lands with waste, please instead focus efforts on forcing manufacturers to reduce wasteful packaging, force consumers to recycle by instigating fines for throwing away recyclable items and make recycling readily available to homes, businesses and on public streets. It should be illegal not to have recycle and compost bins alongside every trash receptacle. Trashing the earth is a crime! We can and must begin the clean-up work NOW! Educate school children about composting and recycling. Teach people about composting and growing their own foods. All of this reduces waste. Our consumer buy-new-oriented societies also need to shift perspective and realize that buying new creates waste! There are plenty of perfectly useable clothes, appliances, cars and other items to sustain us for the like of decades, I would imagine, there is no need to partake in the wasteful process of buying all things new. This is harmful to our environment, though many companies want you to buy new for their own gain I realize. And many consumers are so trained and conditioned (by advertising and other habits they have willingly adapted) to buy new that they are under an illusion that they have no other choice or that this is somehow the best choice. There is little wisdom in conditioned unconscious destructive behaviors. We must begin consciously cleaning up earth for the future generations. Thank you for your support in this task.
