Leaf recycling the natural
way, an eternal cycle

Plastics are a curse and a blessing.
They are changing our world for better and for worse. That is why
Susan Freinkel titled her book on this subject Plastic: "A Toxic Love
Story." I recommend her ForaTV lecture.
The most serious trouble with plastics
is that they are not truly recyclable. It is true that we place them
by the curbside and they are taken by trucks to recycling facilities.
If all goes as it should, that plastic is turned into something else
and given a new life. But that doesn’t complete the circle back to
the original components. Perhaps it should be called something else,
down-cycling, half-cycling?
