So for today:
Have you noticed you have more trash lately? We have become a throw away and replacement
society, methinks. At one time we returned our milk and soft drink bottles to
be washed and we used. Shucks we kids even found enough coke and pepsi bottles
to return to the grocer for the 2 cents deposit to get some candy bars. When we lived in town, Mama
always put the washed milk bottles back on the porch for the milkman to pick
up.
For many years families I knew had an old 50 gal drum where they burned
the burnable trash.
Even the cities burned what trash they could before burying the remains.
Do you have an opinion of how WE as a country should take care of our
waste? Today most counties bury the city garbage. They line the ground with
plastic sheeting at times before covering the waste. In Florida we make small mountains of dirt
covered trash.
I honestly worry about that getting down into the water table over the
years, Some countries take the trash out
in barges and dump it at sea. There was a period 0f times cities tried burning
trash and using the heat to turn turbines to create electricity, not sure how well that worked.
What does your city or county with the tons of trash?
Any ideas? Do you have more garbage than you did 4 years ago?

Same here. We used to return milk, lemonade and beer bottles to be cleaned and refilled. Now we have so many things to recycle - paper, plastic, metal cans and tins, glass bottles etc. We should start at source - at the manufacturers. For example; some items in the shops like rice, pasta and oats are packed in re-cyclable plastic bags. The same items in another shop are packed in NON-recyclable plastic. Why? Why not get all manufacturers to wrap their foodstuffs in re-cyclable packing? Same with some liquids like hair shampoo or liquid soaps - some are in re-cyclable plastic bottles and some are not?
I have now started to re-cycle my jokes. But find that people don't laugh at them in their original first time airing.
God bless.
Re-cycling your jokes? Re-cycling is so important. On the farm we burned trash in a barrel as well. Also hogs enjoyed slop left from meals. Living near the Pacific we see trash in the ocean. It is not hard to recycle; it just take dedication to doing the right thing.
People should go back to the time they saved the bottles and returned them to be used again.
