I though I read 1000lb. (Misplaced decimal is the commonest mathematical error :))
But anyway, the point I want to make is that if we decided to get away from mineral oil ways would be found to do it. They could be more costly or maybe, in the long run, not.

About right might be a little light for my 3 point mower 7' allied rear discharge

In advance I'll say "please excuse my rambling."
No excuse necessary; rambling can go to unpredictable and interesting places.

I like the idea of putting a bounty on plastic. Don't see how to do it (or why I'd want to) without government participation. Some used plastics are recyclable but others are not and so far have no economic value to anyone. It would be nice to keep that stuff out of the landfills and oceans but where would it go? Burning it doesn't sound like a healthy option. Some research/innovation is required, to invent products it can be used in as a raw material. If not 'profitable' they could be subsidized. The planet is worth saving if possible, and at almost any cost.

A bounty could work but maybe not by weight; how many plastic bags in a pound? I do think the general idea has merit and could be worth developing

"Doesn't matter unless it's sitting in the seat of a tractor then it needs hydraulics in the farm equipment "
Really no need for seats anymore.
"Hahahahahaha comparing off road vehicles to farm equipment your hilarious"
Um, "off highway" maybe doesn't mean what you think it means
"What am I going to do with 40hp cut my lawn? Actually might have to look into for cutting the lawn thanks no good for farming large acres though couldn't even pull a set of harrows"
JD is making one that goes up to about 400 HP.
No cab.
No batteries.

A real piece of history that transformed the farm on 40 or so HP.

Of course if this was 1949 you would be dismissing it and stickin with your horses.

According to your article Indonesia is a major world producer of plastic pollution for two reasons:


Firstly- because they have the 4th largest population on the planet...............................


and the more people you have........................


the more plastic they use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And secondly - as the article notes- because they have "RUDIMENTARY waste treatment facilities"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Which means the poor people are DUMPING plastic waste into the ocean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That Indonesian dumping is JUST AS DELIBERATE as Toronto city hall councillors shrugging their shoulders every time our sewer system overflows in the rain and dumps raw SH+T into our lake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Quite clearly the Indonesian govt has no more ability to deal with plastic waste in any practical way than our own LIE-beral govt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Maybe Our idiot Boy Justin SHOULD ADMIT that his purchasing of carbon credits - two billion dollars per year worth from Viet Nam- is a Colossal waste of time and money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes- the idiot Boy has purchased a TOTAL of EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS worth of carbon credits from Viet Nam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And yet Cdn emissions just keep RISING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



If the IDIOT BOY really wanted to do something to become recognized as an Honest environmental star maybe he could help out by assisting in some practical and honest way with COLLECTING plastic waste???????????????????????????


But that is a pipe dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy would NEVER dirty his hands by doing something logical or useful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POOR STUPID HOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is LIE-beral Fake News and DELIBERATE DECEPTION that are the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LIE-berals want to pretend that the civil service union HOGS who represent one employed Cdn in 3 can have a huge CARBON FOOT PRINT and enjoy all manner of fossil fuel toys............................................


without destroying either our economy or our environment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There is NO POLICY more deliberately DISHONEST than the LIE-beral policy on carbon crap and trade that is nothing but a massive gravy grab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And the other LIE-beral policy on deficit financing that is being used to supply the HOGS with the gravy they need to keep destroying the environment is just as deceptive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11



Seventy five percent of ALL govt spending is on salaries and pensions that support the carbon rich lifestyles of our Hogs and LIE-beral allies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And HOID thinks that whining about plastic bags will make the LIE-beral picture LOOK BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
