Britain: Oops! We Didn't Know It Was Trash...

| , , ,

So Brazil thinks its too good for Britain's trash huh? Well, good for the Brazilian government to send back the garbage, mislabeled recycle able plastic to the former ruler of the world.

It highlights a larger problem in that the developed countries still treat the 2nd and 3rd world as colonies to exploit and pollute. Did you ever wonder how they recycle all those old computers? Well let's just say it ain't exactly 'green'. And while the Environmental nuts keep a firm grip on our restricted fishing grounds, we as Americans have no problem buying cheap fish at the market that has been factory-trawled off the coast of Africa or South America. Once again a case of NIMBY.






Oh on a completely different topic: How about those cranks yelling at the town meetings? Remind anyone of the tactics of the early Bolsheviks?
Your thoughts...
