Yes, I agree with you about trash pileup in the Ocean. I dumpded some trash not too long ago at a big dump site. That place was full of trash as far as you can see. And that was in the small little town that I am in. I can imagine if all of the trash in the world was in one place, it would be bigger than Canada. Well, maybe not that big, but it would be huge.

My friend worked for a company than incinerated trash. He swears to me that the machine that burned the trash was engineered so well that it put out less poluutants than an average car. He says that the stupid monkey government regulations dont' allow them to incinerate it anywmore. How stupid!  Burn trash=It is gone   Pile Up Trash=Ruin Earth.    I can't understand government idiots!!

Good night everyone!

Well, in my opinion, no trash is best. Recycling does use a lot of energy, but who cares when it is free!

Burning some trash is okay, but you always have the pollution downside. I guess it could he justified if you were to use the heat produced to say, run a turbine/generator. Then it would be no worse than a coal fire power plant and you'd be killing two birds with one stone!

Do a google search for "great pacific garbage patch."

There is a mass of plastic bottles an other trash that has collected I the ocean from litter all over the world. It it estimated to be TWICE the SIZE of TEXAS and about 100 FEET thick.

And this is just the trash that made it to the ocean that floats; just imagine all that sank.

10,000 years to fill Nebraska? Try 10 months (in a global perspective).

I'm doing just that. I'm having a bit of trouble finding source material from sources I would consider more...neutral, but it is interesting.

I wonder tho, why no one has tried using EO satellites to analyze this area (I used to work for NOAA...) better to get some better estimates of the size and scope of this?

Definitely checking this out more...

@ PureP

Congrats man, you made it out of the quagmire.

It's good to have you back.

Now, will you PLEASE look at "my" siphon idea with smoky and tell me why it won't work?

I will get busy and start building a toy, for me, maybe for you, maybe for everybody.

Lets have some knock down, drag outs over something that EDIT: can matters.

P.S. Keep playing with toys and remember it's your choice of what to play with.


@ Special K

You're taking what we know now "as all and ever shall be".

You can't find a better way to do something without doing it 1st usually.

And now your spouting Cali gov't environmental policy actions to support that stance.

You are really just too cute (amusing).

About the earth.

I know that we aren't the "end all, be all" of the planet. I just want it to be a good long run.
If we could do it responsibly from now on, it might make up for the time we haven't.
Maybe that'll give us enough time to be better too.

As to your last statement, please revisit the post it referenced and QUOTE IT if you have a reply so that it might be compared with your representation of what I said.

If you think that packaging doesn't make up a great quantity of our garbage, I'd say you're wrong as what besides fruit is not packaged these days, sometimes layers of packaging.
and smart people design those packages.

Now this last thing @ infringer is just sad.

He's just out to build and discover. These are bad things?

He knows there are possibilities he may not know, but he wants to.

Leave the man be, he gets more productive dreaming and building done than I do these days because you are so entertaining to play with.

Have you considered a career in politics?



More importantly, isn't your time worth more than us if all you've said is true?

Why are you still waiting to see if it is?

EDIT:

Oops, I forgot.

Group hug everybody!   LMMFAO
