LJFH sorry to make you sad, but its reality.
One (or even a 1000) people washing a ziploc doesn't put a dent into the 500-1000 M of shrink wrap that goes into the garbage when a GOSS Press starts bundling its papers. This is about the equivalent of an original VW Bug if it were solid and the same shape. There are 1600 of these presses operating DAILY worldwide.
Businesses just won't pay to recycle- it costs too much. And people (no matter how granola) shop for the best price. So therefore the people that won't pay high prices make the businesses react by cutting costs (on things like recycling).
Its economics and until we all live in grass huts, sharing nuts and berries, and are skipping merrily down the path to enlightenment- batten down the hatches Becky its a mean ol world.
I know people get frustrated by thoughts/ people "like" me, but I didn't get this way by choice or even education- reality kicked my darkness till it bled daylight.
I still call bull5hit...and I'll use this analogy.. If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you? Just because big corporations suck and can't be bothered to recycle or care about the environment, doesn't give you ANY excuse to do the same. I think that's just a cop out.

Not to rain on anyones Recycle and Save the World campaign, but as an employee of a big business (and a very very small big business at that) and having access to the production facility, basement etc. It would shock and sadden you to see the amounts of raw materials that are thrown out each day.
We are just a small drop, a drop nonetheless- but when you put in in perspective it feels helpless doesn't it?
Like our emissions control in Ontario is making an impact on global warming?- when you think about the 1,000,000+ 40 year old diesel vehicles all over China and Russia that are spewing out raw carcinogens. Our little Honda Accords are the least of the planets concern.
A little pig headed I know, but even my "green" city buses spew fumes, lay oil all over the pavement and are left idling for hours on end. I used to recycle, car pool and everything but I don't think it did one lick of good (especially if your $11 cheese is ruined by not spending 0.03 on a new bag).

Dude, sadly it's that kind of "oh well, everyone else is polluting, so why bother" kind of attitude that makes me grouchy.
I can't stop anyone else from doing it, but I"m sure as hell going to take responsibility for my own actions. Then at least I know I did what I could.

I don't think you're nuts. I do it all the time. I also rinse out my milk bags (the clear ones the milk actually is in), then I slice the top open so they are like a small bag and use them for any number of things. My grandmother used to do this...and I can't throw them away now cause I know she hardly ever bought ziplocs, cause she already had so many milk bags.

dude that's just weird
You should try being the person in the next stall trying not to gag or laugh at the person taking a HUGE dump in the cubicle next to you.
It's really difficult.
hehehe

sorry Trev...just some good-natured WoW ribbing.
Oh that is so good.

I have a colleague who laughs like Peter from The family Guy.
I'm joking in no way....
It makes me want to poke my own eyes out.

I was on the phone at my desk this morning...(not on a work related call mind you, but...this girl comes up and stands right in front of me.
Instead of acknowledging that I was on the phone, leaving and coming back later when I wasn't busy, she proceeds to stand there...which meant that I couldn't have a private conversation as she was now the third party to it.
When I put the person on hold for a second to see what she wanted, she goes "oh, sorry". As if!
Why are people so damn ignorant.....grrrrrr

Just find a dirty hole somewhere where everybody is drunk and beligerant, and she'll be right at home.

THE BEACHES. Pretty, lots of green space, the beach, where your dog can go off leash, dog friendly neighbourhood, nice young contingent, great houses, funky shops, restaurants, 5 minutes to Little India and Chinatown East, 15 minutes from the Danforth and you are only about 15 minutes away from downtown.

I saw him a few years ago when I lived in Toronto....well worth the ticket price. He is informative, funny and SUPER intelligent.
He definetly made me think differently about a lot of things...even bottled water (which he thinks is stupid).

I totally understand where NW is coming from...it is frustrating to see that...but even regardless. I wouldn't stop recycling or caring just because the big corporations don't.
