A common reply as to what causes mental illness is that it's a result of chemical imballance. I would ask, so, what causes a chemical imballance? Is it a lack of Prozack, or other drugs? Or could it possibly be a lack of the proper nutrients from a healthy diet that feed the brain and other body cells. There is much evidence that dietary nutrition helps with emotional and mental function. We are a SICK society. What is the diet in these institutions like? Does it make a difference what these people eat or not? Why not emphasize healthy diet and lifestyle? Too expensive? We pay the price one way or the other...

What happends to "contaminants" on the assembly line that are recyclable? Do they go into the landfill or are they diverted to be recycled?
What about all the stuff that is now going to the landfill because people are not going to want to bother dealing with the current situation? Once it goes to the landfill, it probably won't come out. Are landfills going to be able to handle the load? Aren't they filling up too fast anyway, without all this going on?
I'm a Master Recycler and I work in a retail store. At work and at home storage space is limited, and it's VERY hard for me to put ANYTHING in the garbage. Especially at work, there is a lot that does not get recycled in the first place. People just don't know or care enough.
I am hopeful that the upcoming administration will set some new policies. What about that, and enforcing such? What are others feeling about this?
