But, I am not wondering about garbage, I am wondering about junk. Yep, there are also junk yards which would be the equivalent to dumps for garbage but these are for real junk.
And some specialty junk yards only deal in certain kinds of junk, like automotive junk parts, or all steel, or all aluminum, etc.
Or you may think of a ship, a Chinese Junk:
We humans have sure junked up our wold, but we didn't stop there. There is so much space junk orbiting our planet that it has become a great danger to manned orbital or space flights. Ever since the Russians launched Sputnik, that area for low orbiting objects has become very, very crowded.
Especially the area where communication satellites orbit. I am not sure if the above picture is accurate or not, but it gives you the idea of what I am talking about. Now, you all have a great day and try to re-cycle, you hear?
Recycle, but try not to buy so much junk in the first place. The way marketing urges us to buy way more than we need, and the way we are hypnotized by that marketing, is going to drown the planet in junk! We have huge floating piles of it the size of the state of Texas in our oceans!
ReplyDeleteYep, it is everywhere and now it orbits the earth. If we could live like the Indians did, all would be fine but there are just too many people on the planet to do that.
DeleteOne man's junk is another man's treasure.
ReplyDeleteI do like the junk sailing rig. Simple, powerful, and reliable.
Yes they are a workhorse boat, for sure. You are sure right about one man's junk is another man's treasure. I guess that is why flea markets are so popular.
DeleteI try to recycle as much as I can. For a couple of years now I have cut back on my purchases except where it comes to camping gear.
ReplyDeleteIf everyone did what you do, we wouldn't have as bad a problem. You are doing good, girl!!!
DeleteThere is as much 'trash' involved in the packaging of the 'junk' we buy as there is 'junk'. The push to use recyclable bags at the market is symbolism over the substance of 'trash' that goes into the recyclable bag.
ReplyDeleteA lot of things in the store have more packaging and less merchandise.
DeleteIve seen the trash collected in the ocean,,, makes you sick.
ReplyDeleteWhen trash and garbage gets out of control, it will make you sick, for real.
