Sorry, but that’s just crazy talk.

What I really liked is how you reflected on environmentally dubious biofuel efforts in Hawaii. It was like reading a good detective novel, where the investigation logically led to an unexpected detour.

Your most recent article was similar, on how the ending of the recycling program can be traced to the newspaper merger and the rise of digital publishing. But I have to disagree with your conclusion that this phasing out of the recycling program is a bad idea. The reality is that there is now far less to recycle. So I think Carlyle was correct to end it.

The bigger issue is that we need to consume less in order to have less to throw away. You wrote that when you drink wine tonight, you won’t know where to dispose of the bottle. Please don’t drink wine. Also, maybe don’t shop at Safeway. Safeway might not be around in ten years out in your parts, so not shopping there is good practice.
