All this recycling and care for the planet

Surely everyone knows it's all too late ?

We are pissing in the wind , melting ice caps , plastic clogging up the seas , increasing global population growth , destruction of rain forests for palm oil

Fifty elephants a day shot for ivory

Should have left the rag-and-bone men carry on. !

Not a lot got wasted in the 40's and 50's, it's these throw-away frigging youngsters are the problem.

We have a rag-and-bone man that comes around here, he yells something through a Tanoy and drives past at about 50mph in his van, I'm not sure how you're meant to catch him? :shrug: :hehe:

Jump in the FOCUS, Steve said "he's always jumping in the Focus" !

Well it sounded like jumping, without the hearing aid in.

Does he want tickets for Saturday ?

True that, when we were kids we had one metal dustbin, mostly referred to as the ash bin, and the dustbin men were the ashbin men. No food wasted, left overs was tomorrow’s tea. No need for recycling paper, that all went on the fire. The stuff that went in the bin was the ashes from the fire. Imagine that now, one ash bin per household, there’s foodstuff now that has natural packaging that is still packed in plastic. Suppose coal fires weren’t environmentally friendly but I’d love to turn the clock back for an hour and have a walk around Cardiff taking in that old smell of the working chimneys.

Believe it or not, he's probably yelling "rag & bone".

I can still hear the bloke that came around on a horse and cart when I was a kid. "Reeeeegnboa!"

The planet will fix itself. It always does. It may have to kill off mankind to do it. And it can.

There were Rag n bone men in the valley's village I grew up in until the early 70s. Though by then they were mostly taking away bits of old scrap on their carts rather than their title. I can still remember their calls as they went through the streets though.

Well, its more down to fossil fuels, especially during coals heyday from the Industrial Revolution onwards. The amount of smoke pumped into the atmosphere by factories etc

But yeah, youngsters...

And therein lies the reason for your silly, selfish, short sighted, defeatist attitude on this matter.

The interesting point was that although we have always had the same amount of carbon on the planet - it has been trapped and not released into the atmosphere. There have been (according to the profs) at least one massive seismic event from an underground volcano (they suspect) that dumped masses of carbon into the sea and subsequently the atmosphere which has been enough to effect climate change.

They said - we still live on an ever changing planet re carbon in the atmosphere - BUT our lifestyle and wastage of fossil fuels etc - has accelerated it so much it may soon be irreversible - no matter what we. what a happy thought....

Of course the earth was once hotter but it wasn't habitable for humans at the time.

It's like saying it doesn't matter if my house burns down as once there was no house and it was just grass there.

I think it's the production of paper that's the problem, not how to dispose of it. There was no need for recycling because no one gave a shit about the rainforests, they seemed to think they were infinite and deforestation was much slower.

People are making money out of us being at the point of no return

Since 1960 , which is hardly any time given how long the planet has been around , we have decimated 65% of known species

When all the trees have been cut down , the rivers have run dry and the animals are gone then you will know you cannot eat money !! Sitting Bull



Shades of death is all I see, fragments of what used to be ...........skeletons of society............................slayer
