it's the current society we live in.
Imagine the sheer tons , produced per hour, of fast food wrappers ..
all landfill,
just likr the ubiquitous green propane bottle is too.

is it Fraiday ?
we can even see ourselves as conduits ..
conduits that route raw materials from the earth .........into objects
and products ..then onto landfills. ( and the atmosphere and environment'
We are the conduits of that destructive process.
not a happy thought !

btw....realizing one of the things I dislike about diesels so much is
the smell..
and ..running just 15 to 20 % filtered fry oil right in the main tank of
my diesel vanagon helps the small factor A LOT !
