Dealing with plastic

The events of last week suggest our prime minister has no understanding of the environment. The UK  is proceeding with the eventual elimination of one use plastic. When asked Justin would not commit to anything, and gave the impression it was not a worthy topic. For me this was the first time he crossed my line in the sand. It is my opinion that plastic is the # 1 problem we have.
But counting on government mandates solving this issue is pie in the sky imagination. The UK put a timeline of 2040 to put an end to this. In other words it’s on the back burner on low heat. No what needs to be done is to make all the manufactures recycle what they produce. All of it. The one use stuff will disappear on its own without legislation. I swear there are people in this world that dream all day of ways to make even more plastic things. A person could say we have a serious addiction to this stuff. A world wide epidemic if you ask me.
Seven billion, all addicted, and counting.

Facebook Politics

Is it me or has everyone lost their ability to judge things for themselves. They could bombard me with political stuff and it still wouldn’t change my mind about what I think. Maybe it’s because no one really cares anymore. That all the lying and deceit we have heard for all these years has made us numb to the point of indifference.
Of coarse FaceBook is a prime place to target ads, heck there is a billion people on it daily. But I’ve noticed that most people don’t seem to care much about issues as much as the latest baby pictures. I find that it’s he pictures that gets everyone’s attention, not some political ad. And this is the thing that attracts people to FB, calm casual social interaction.
I won’t be quitting the FB, it has a place in my life and the lives of my friends and family.
One more thing, it’s a sad day to say farewell to Rick Mercer and all the lives he touched. He will be missed.
