Gambling addict to boot! You do know they stack the cards against you with those lottery tickets, right?
I suspect more and more that Walter is actually a radical-left troll trying to give the right a bad name.
I recycle, I don't compost, I don't take public transit or ride a bike and I hope never to
have to. I farm and I do use irrigation responsibly, I use target pest sprays instead
of the harsh chemicals of yesteryear.
Doing something is fine but being chained to a vision of the future of sacrifice for
a leaf is not on my agenda. We are not in the Garden of Eden and we won't as long
as human kind exists. I am not against the environment but I don't subscribe to all
the nonsense that I have to eat organics, compost and live in a mud hut on the edge
of the world mentality either.
The sky is not falling, we are not all going to die a miserable death, that is unless they
legislate we have to ride bikes and eat roots, grubs and berries. See what a sense
of resistance some environmentalists have created? I do some but I am not going to
become a believer

I used to separate the trash for compost and recycle. Here, the compost attracts bears and the municipality finds it cheaper to dump everything.
I have this magic chute in my building where I drop stuff down it and the trash fairies take it away.
I used to recycle,but they closed the dump.I have brought home,three ride on mowers,three snow blowers two gwnerators,and christ knows how many push mowers,all of them run after cleaning the carb,or in the case of some of the push mowers,replacing the starting cord.Oh yeah and six whipper snippers.
Now we have roadside pick up,what a waste.

I've tried to release as much methane as possible to keep our winters mild.
Methane keeps my bed warm on those cold winter nights. I just don't dare putting my head under the sheets though.
do you fix up these various machines and sell them at a swap meet, local classifieds or eBay??
I find the bike paths are great if:
1. You enjoy taking the most indirect route between A & B
2. You enjoy lots of other cyclists who are gabbing and not paying attention coming straight at you and taking the whole lane.
3. Enjoy the odd pedestrian that likes sauntering along same trails.
To answer the OP, I recycle even though this means I can't use Durka's magic chute. I take GO Train to and from work and use public transit where convenient. I figure if we use less, we are helping the environment in the long run although I do not buy this global warming 'theory'. I do need to use the car as I live in the suburbs and there are no subways close and now there won't be.
On an unrelated note, every now and then somebody leaves a running car in front of a lotto ticket store with A/C on full and I use that to haul cow manure for the garden. Don't want to get my car dirty.
Boomer,nah,I keep myself and my daughter geared up and the rest is parts.
I don't need the hassle of trying to sell stuff on line,too many idiots.
