("Many retailers and schools are advocating waste-free options for back-to-
school shoppers this year, especially when it comes to lunch. School lists
call for Tupperware instead of Ziplocs, neoprene lunch bags instead of brown
paper ones, and aluminum water bottles, not the throwaway plastic versions.
* * * The trend makes the schools happy (much less garbage).")
My comment:
(a) neoprene
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoprene
(a family of synthetic rubbers that are produced by polymerization of
chloroprene)
(b) The pendulum has swung back. I came to US in 1984 and found many were
disposable. Taiwan could not stand it, as limited space there calls for
waste incineration supplemented with little land fill.
(c) There is no need to read the rest. |
