Egads. As they say, it's easier to reduce consumption than ameliorate the negative impacts of heavy consumption. We should think about that.

On another note, I was talking to my wife the other day about waste and what considered bio-degradable. My understanding is that plastics usually are considered bad, because they don't degrade as quickly. But is it really true that they are not bio-dedgradable? I mean, isn't everything man-made ultimately a product of natural resources? And wouldn't that in turn mean that everything is ultimately bio-dedgradable and that the real question is how fast it degrades to it's component molecules?

I know it's a silly question, but it's one I've been wondering about with my limited chemistry knowledge.
