When price of oil drops...

When price of oil drops, not everyone will be rejoicing.

Let's take a look at the plastics recycling industry.  Plastics are made from oil.  When oil price slumps, it is cheaper for manufacturers to buy freshly made plastic.  We will see less used plastic material being collected for recycling. 

So, all the more reasons for us to consider using less plastic in our product or packaging. If you need some help, read this book, "Plastic-Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too", by Beth Terry. 

Let's get ourselves armed

If you are always getting negative feedback for your efforts to recycle, read this article, "A Response to Anti Recycling Ideology". 

It should give you some bullets to kill those thoughts against recycling. Get armed and move forward green soldiers.  Aim to keep the environment green.

Let us hope that the greenhouse design that they are working on to allow them to collect water from the atmosphere will be available in the market soon.
