Sitting in the airport in Dallas waiting for my breakfast. I realized that i have a metal fork, i mean a real metal fork! since Sept 11th i have gotten so used to plastic utensils that it is now a shock and a surprise when I get a metal one.
This got me to thinking, never a good thing mind you, from an anthropological perspective… Here we sit at the beginning of the 21st century overburdening our planet with a population that we have made live longer and yet we have become such a disposable nation/world. Our use of paper is killing our trees, electronics our metals and now millions of people a day throwing away plastic. in an ironic thought (which i swear is where all of this started and then I realized that I may need a back explanation which probably was totally unnecessary but there you have it)…
I wonder if a couple hundred years from now as the planet is killing off the current civilization if it will all go back to the day we started using plastic in every restaurant in every airport in the world.
