[kj] OT : Live Earth etc ...

[melinda grant]

ive been recycling stuff for about the last ten years or longer,you 
know,sorting the tins from the plastics(washing them out befor hand btw) 
from the paper/news papers/carboards ect,and dividing them seperatly placing 
them in the approapate containers provivded by various councils all over the 
world,depending where ive been in the world at the time( this recycling- is 
not just a u.k european thing,this happens internationally,not absolutly 
everwhere as yet!!)

as i said ive been doing it for years,now in the last 2 years or so,all of a 
sudden it has become fashionable and everyone is doing it,well lets hope 
that this particular fashion sticks with people for as long as necessary,as 
i would hardly refur it as a trend,unlike alot of others,but more an 
essential  daily/weekly habit the everyone should be doing out of 
necessity,not becuase its fashionasble ;-/

my 4 dollars on it.

melinda ps you have a point pssyche23,i feel similiar......
this global-planet live earth- musical event this weekend,there does appear 
to be to many hypocrites appearing, jumping on the band wagon--shame 
that,now if they had done something like this years ago,even 5 years ago,i 
might believe that there heart was genuinally in the cause,and not that 
there will be using this up coming event to high light there own 
profiles....
