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? 
Waste to biofuel industry on cards for Collie – Australia
Posted on February 9, 2021 by DrRossH in GeneralSource: Waste to biofuel industry on cards for Collie
In partnership with the Shire of Collie and with $2 million from the WA Government’s Collie Futures Industry Development Fund, Renergi will design, build and operate a $9.4 million, 1.5 tonnes/hour demonstration-scale distributed energy-from-waste plant that will convert 4000 tonnes per year of municipal solid waste — which would otherwise go to landfill — and 8000 tonnes per year of forestry and agricultural wastes to crude pyrolysis oil and biochar. The crude pyrolysis oil will be sold as a liquid fuel for local industry and the biochar as a soil conditioner.
