Maggie's Farm

Hey! I'm from Jersey and I don't have toe fungus.

That said, the recycling story is classic - we pay more for something we already know is happening - recycling ISN'T occurring.

BTW, can you fix the header on Maggie's Farm? I've had complaints from Facebook friends that the JPG image (or whatever it is you have up there) is what appears time and again when I link.

Apparently, the header ("we are a commune of...") is in a format that, when I link here from Facebook, all that you see on Facebook is the header.

A friend of mine suggested you turn the header into a GIF. I think he's implying that by having it as a GIF, then the Facebook link would then show the titles of the articles.

I'm not a technorati...so I can't explain the intricacies.

This occurs, sometimes. I know here, it all goes to the same place.

The point of having it separated, of course, is to "save effort" at the plant - right? It's a cost reduction, supposedly.

Fact is, and studies have shown this, many places still dump it all in the same place. And in places that don't, the extra money you pay for recycling is to subsidise the increased cost to consumers for using recycled product. So it costs YOU and it costs THEM.

It's a scam, always has been. The greens hate to discuss this.
I consider myself VERY green. I've hiked and camped around the US, and follow the "leave it cleaner than you found it" rule. I planted trees frequently as a scout, not because it absorbs carbon, but because trees are good to have.

I find the green philosophy appealing. I find their tactics and "facts" horrendous. They are lazy people in terms of their thinking, and are atrocious in their behavior towards those who disagree with them....even when the facts don't support their claims.
