How many people today grab a takeaway coffee cup from the local cafe to drink on the go? We don’t know, but the number must be enormous.. Most every one of the above have a plastic top that will last 100s of years. Some cafes still use plastic cups that last a similar time. Is 10 minutes of coffee worth 100s of years of trash?
These items can be seen littering our gutters and on our streets all over the place. If they were all cardboard, they would still be littered, but they would, at least, be gone in a short time.
They do not need to be made of plastic.
On the way home from the gym last week, a distance of about 1 km (1/2 mile), I counted the items of plastic litter on the curb as I walked. In that short distance I counted 63 pieces of plastic litter. Plastic drink bottles, bottle tops, candy wrappers, plastic film, polystyrene fragments etc. That seemed to be a lot to me. I guess it is a generational thing. Our parents would have been horrified to see that amount, whereas it seems to go unnoticed by our youth of today. In another 20 years how many pieces will there be on this stretch, -- 200? What will today’s youth think of that new amount then when they are older? Will their children be so readily accepting of a higher amount of litter? 
Landfill Gas to Electricity – Canada
Posted on July 11, 2013 by DrRossH in Landfills and Disposal
The success of the newly-named Nanaimo Bioenergy Centre is the result resulted of a willingness of the partners and stakeholders to embrace and manage policy, plus financial and innovation risk. In 2008 the establishment of the BC Hydro Standing Offer Program positioned Cedar Road to complete a 1.3 MW Phase One, biogas-to-electricity facility. A capital investment of 3.8 million dollars was facilitated by predictable cashflow, itself enabled by long-term power purchase predictability.
These kind of innovative developments for green power go hand in hand with making all of our plastic waste biodegradable.
