Don't sweat it Mo...I don't understand the reasoning behind the "save the planet" schemes anyway. The damage that has been done is irreverseable, and unfortunately its also progressive. No matter what efforts man puts forth to stop the deterioration of our planet, its not going to stop.

It all seems to be tied back to $$$. Our area was one of those provincial government pilot projects for waste mgmt called REACT (cant remember what that stands for). Surrounding RM's and towns decommissioned all the small dumps and all the garbage was hauled to a couple central locations, sorted, and was to be recycled. That was the theory -- now, economics of recycling are not favorable, so we have a garbage mountain!!!
