We are a country without competent leadership in the middle of a crisis. Unfortunately I think we're in the first baby steps of the crisis. With no end in sight. Start a crash program today, and we might see the first small but significant results in five years. And a solution in maybe 15 years. Very true......the worst part is we will have to put up with the inoys of the country kicking and screaming all the way through. It won't be fun. That's a good percentage of your adult life... and frankly the most of the rest of my natural life. And we haven't started the crash program yet... people are wringing their hands because gas is expensive when that is only a symptom of the root problem. Many Americans have a hard time accepting that resources are finite. Fortunately, there are areas of the country that have accepted the notion and are acting accordingly. I have to ask how active is recycling and water conservation in FLA? I have just assumed that everyone is moving forward at the same speed but listening to people like inoys and Harris makes me wonder. To give you an example........recycling bins here are 4 time bigger than our garbage cans. We get bins for recyling paper and glass products as well as for organic matter like grass. I have two bins and a crate for glass as well as a small garbage can. Garbage cans are picked up every week but recycling bins get picked up every two weeks. However, most people only put out their garbage cans every 2-4 weeks. In other words we do enough recycling that the creation of actual garbage has been reduced significantly. Low flush toilets and shower heads are mandatory here in all new construction, and in CA, they are mandatory every time a house is sold. The cost of water goes up dramatically in summer and so most people let their lawns go brown. Naturally we are building mass transit light rail as fast as possible but as I have said before Seattle is way behind its more progressive counterparts. Its really too bad because light rail is badly needed in this city. Those are some of the standard things that are ongoing. Do you have similar things happening in FLA?
