Try and get the material that gets removed just before any street in a city is repaved. Once in place it is there forever.

It should almost be free if you can haul it away as it is classified as a waste product. (it is trucked away and put into a huge stockpile. That pile is usually on the property of an asphalt company that lets it sit there a few years (proving it is a waste product) and then they bring in a crusher and grind it back up and send it through the asphalt plant and resold to the city at full price). The taxpayers keep paying through the nose. The way it should work is the truck that gets loaded with this waste books it to the plant, dumps his load and it goes into the plant at a rate of 60% old material and 40% new gravel/sand/oil. Since that waste material belongs to the city their cost come down in that proportion thereby saving the taxpayers some loot. The only thing lost are the winter vacations this scam nets the city officials and the paving/trucking companies.
Just about anybody with a garage could burn the oil to produce heat. Most full serve stations have a container for such things.

It is not I who is saying that Inuit's way of life is threatened, kakato. It is the Inuits themselves saying that (much as you may not like the fact).

Google for it and you will find numerous articles as to how Inuits think that their way of life is threatened.

I could google it but I think living with the Innuit for 3 years is a way better source for information.

Their well known amongst the arctic,as environuts.

So let me get this straight, The Inuits who disagree with you are environuts? That tells me more than anything else where you stand when it comes to environment.

I used to like this recycling business, when it worked for me. I was one of few who heated with oil in Saskatchewan. When we had an airplane that needed its fuel tanks drained it cost twice as much to get rid of the bad stuff than to pump in the good, stange, and we're not talking small amounts here either. The crew chief would call me and ask if I could help out, sure, I would take "contaminated" fuel away for free. Heated my house with it for years. Hey, I did my part for recycling, I just wish I still lived there to be still doing it. I understand the game, but I didn't profit from it, in so many words, I guess.
