The subject of this thread is wise and timely. This problem is among the biggest inheritances left to our generation right now, and solve it We Must - or leave it to those who are now babies, to pay the price of our neglect. Why in the world is there procrastination about the immediate restoration and expansion of the mass-transportation infrastructure in this beautiful Country of Ours? What with planned obsolescence being permitted to flourish at it's present rate which is so anti-harmonic, shockingly wasteful, destructive and devastating in economic impact (especially on those of lesser education, poorer health, minimum skills, and bad luck: who can least afford to keep up and must therefore allot less time and attention to the proper raising and supervision of their children)... it was such a fine while spent reading this thread and links I want to commend you for raising the topic here on SI. As autumn approaches here in the northeast with some ground ivy and treetops showing some red - it's soon time for rakes and mulchers. The giant piles of leaves, taken to the Recycling Center gets turned into mulch hardly anyone wants (unknown content maybe poison ivy, knotweed, etc.) or goes into landfill for yet more hideous and half-baked development projects the locals don't want, or just lays somewhere to rot and waste. This beautiful Autumn Harvest could certainly be put to good use as being converted to fuel, and also shipped to refurbish the soil of barren areas here and abroad. Of course I realize here I am another peanut gallery umpire - but I do my best. After all, I always seperate the newspapers from the mail before I heave the bags to the curb on pick-up day. Everyone's Thinking About It. Most are doing what they can in their own way. Some are Doing Something About It. And, thankfully, many who are In Charge are talking about it, and seem to be gearing up, knowing what's coming. The word's getting out. I think we'll be alrite. J
