~ Idea 6250 ~
From the newspaper USA Today of 16 December 2003
Water bottles, water bottles everywhere
American's increased water consumption is healthy, doctors say, but the plastic bottles aren't. Last year alone, more than 93 billion plastic water containers wound up in US landfills. Placed end-to-end, that's enough bottles to reach the moon and back 38 times. Nationally, the clear plastic bottles dumped into landfills annually could provide enough recycled material for 3.3 billion ski jackets or 546 million sleeping bags. California's Conservation Department is offering holiday shoppers an online national 'green gift guide' that it hopes will encourage consumers to recycle and buy recycled products, spurring more use of recycled material by manufacturers. "It's part of closing the loop," says department director Darryl Young. For example, L.L Bean offers Adirondack chairs made from recycled plastic jugs.
My comment: we need many statistics like that for the entire world.
My question: what will it be in a hundred years from now?

Dear Robert & Barbara,
As I read your newsletter yet another day, deriving hope and vision from it, I realize two things:
one, that I owe you great thanks and must communicate that now,
two, that we as humans really are connected. It is through our connection with others that we will find our answers.
Have a fantastic day
and again
what a gift that you both are on this planet!!
