Plastic Statistics

How Big Is The Waste Problem? 

ADDITION OF LINK NEEDED! PTEC3D What's the state of plastic recycling? 

Let me put it to you this way: If you're not frightened then you're a pretty special kind of person. That is all. 

I won't keep you from that article for long, except to say that I'm one of the very scared people. I've put forward an article that has a possible solution (not mine, just some news I came across) to the
---.--->PET plastic<---.--- issue, which is one of the biggest sources of waste plastic after plastic bags. 

We're on this slippery slope and we need to act now.

70,000,000 PET bottles a year. Untold tens of millions of  PET food containers. Over five hundred billion plastic bags a year. And we're not talking all the rest of the plastics yet.

But I'm doing something about it and so can you.

In addition to writing these articles I'm also experimenting with ways of recycling waste that can be done at the cottage industry or community hub levels, not so much because it'll magically convert 100% of local waste into recycled useful articles, but because people who are doing these sorts of activities are likely to talk about them to people in their community, and so raise even more awareness of the issues and dangers.
