Evening All,
well chalk it up to the american people for complaining to chip giant Frito-Lay saying the bags are too noisy! YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT....TOO NOISY!!!
a short time ago Frito-Lay decide to do their part to help reduce landfill, they designed a biodegradable bag that would not harm the environment.
WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!!! REALLY!!!!! it was finally nice to see companies that are the largest generators of trash step up and pitch in
.....now here's the problem......
people began to email and write to Frito-Lay about (here it comes now) how noisy the bags were when they were crumpled up!!!! WHAT THE HELL????
YO...joe public.....here's a complicated solution to the problem...DON'T CRUMPLE THE DAMNED BAG YOU IDIOT.
so in light of these complaints...what does the chip company do....they are switching out all biodegradable bags on all their Sunchips but one.
SO MUCH FOR SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT???!!!!!
SHAME ON YOU FRITO-LAY for giving in to idiots. consummers they may be, but earth caring environmentalists they are not!
SHAME ON YOU JOE PUBLIC for not realizing that we have garbage coming out the wazoo and no place to store it anymore. but hey....you would have to have a brain for that one!!!!
so let me stay on the landfill theme ok....here are some interesting facts about other things that should not be in landfill sites.
pay attention....your world may depend on it eventually.
-Plastic bottles take 700 years to begin composting. the chemicals from the plastic leech into our water tables and could have horrific affects on us physically.
-90% of the cost of bottled water is due to the bottle itself. to melt down and product another plastic product or plastic bottle for our PLASTIC WORLD isn't cheap. for every bottle of water that is about $1.50, it costs about $1.11 for the plastic.
-80% of plastic bottles are not recycled. this is just sheer laziness or not caring about the environment. would this number go DOWN if we started fining people for misuse??? YOU BET YOUR ASS IT WOULD.
-38 million plastic bottles go to the dump per year in CANADA from bottled water (not including soda) what else can i say but....SAD
-24 million gallons of oil are needed to produce a billion plastic bottles. so all you idiots that throw away your plastic drinking bottles cuz ya don't give a chit...STOP WHINING ABOUT THE PRICE OF GAS.
-The average CANADIAN consumes 167 bottles of water a year. DRINK FROM THE TAP....its the same damned liquid as in your bottled water.
-Bottling and shipping water is the least energy efficient method ever used to supply water.
-Bottled water is the second most popular beverage in CANADA.
the first is COFFEE....and that doesn't come in plastic.
- Over 46,000 pieces of plastic debris float on every square mile of ocean.
SAVE THE WHALES and dolphins and sharks and seals and all the other creatures.
HEALTH RISKS
SO...what is good plastic and what is bad????
not an easy thing to know.
in recent years hard plastic which is used in hard water bottles, baby bottles and other hard plastic liquid containers are UNSAFE.
yes i typed UNSAFE.
plastics made from polycarbonate resin can leach bisphenol-A (BPA), a potent hormone disruptor. BPA, a chemical found in epoxy resin and polycarbonate plastics, may impair the reproductive organs and have adverse effects on tumors, breast tissue development and prostate development by reducing sperm count. DID YA HERE THAT GUYS....YOU MAY LOSE SOME OF YOUR SWIMMERS!!!!
BPA can be leached into the water bottles contents through normal wear and tear, exposure to heat and cleaning agents. This includes leaving your plastic water bottle in your car during errands, in your back pack during hikes and running it through your dishwasher and using harsh detergents. OH AND ANOTHER HELPFUL HINT...don't heat your food in plastic either.
know what i say......WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH GLASS???? its made of natural ingredients and is safe.
quote of the day.......
"the death of Coke for me was when they introduced it to PLASTIC! it ain't 'the real thing' anymore."
quote by me!
