Just a quick note as a follow-up to yesterday’s post:

I came across an interesting article discussing how much of what we produce is so callously discarded without a first thought, let alone a second one. It’s worth the two minutes it will take anyone to read it.

In the days to come, when Peak Oil is having its impact on production across all industries and manufacturers, we will likely lament how careless we were in tossing away products and items that could have been preserved with only minimal effort on our part. But in keeping with our Damn-The-Consequences approach to too many aspects of our everyday choices, it’s not terribly surprising that we’re all too guilty of a failure to expend minimal effort or thought.

It’s late, but not too late, to make changes. Better that they be voluntary….
