Sustainability
Summer 2010
Our council has now instituted a more complete recycling service. Now we can put plastic containers, Tetrapaks, tins, bottles, and paper. They also gave us bags for garden clippings and a plastic bucket for food waste. The latter is a good idea except that now we’re overrun with fruit flies. So you have to watch out or your hair gets suck on fly paper which is strategically dangling around the kitchen. Those fruit flies have evolved to know a trap when they see one. They hover all around the fly paper and look instead for Lynette’s wine glass. Now I’m not saying anything about Lynette. But let me tell you, those fruit flies get quite rowdy after a few Pinot Grigios.
It got me thinking about sustainability. Even being conscientious, there’s a huge amount of recycling. How much energy is wasted making and recycling packaging?
