OK.. FIRST.. NG for heat should burn 99% clean.. reality says unless you are up for a great cull of humanity.. that is freaking great . THAT IS HOW IT IS .. all told NG is no different than a renewable if source is properly managed.. Period.. as to plastics.. I need to do more research but I KNOW they can be made far more degradable.. Even the ones (prior post ) that are not made to be degradable are useless after a few years from solar degradation.. AND WORSE.. tossed into garbage.. as recyclers will not accept them.. Elroy you are addressing a symptom.. as the cities grow.. this phenomenon will not stop .. but accelerate.. we are on the same side I think.. Cities growing huge are a HUGE PROBLEM that produce effluent we CANNOT resolve
