Episode 78 – Fixing the World
Overview
Our conversation starts with recycles and how people choose NOT to do things to help the environment. Recycling has improved over the years, yet some people willfully still do things like bury trash and burn trash.
Alan recently saw Neal Stephenson, whose new book – Termination Shock – has to do with global warming and how it may affect our world. Fantastic writer with great books.

We also discuss the newest national park at New River Gorge. This also is part of the conversation and how we need to preserve our land, yet people are destroying even these areas.

[00:00:54] Alan: actually one of those nice generic got it from target might be, I don’t even know. [00:01:00] I don’t tend to get ornamental things. The only thing we’ve done special for crash Kansas in the kitchen, where often you have things in your hands, what are going to the trashcan?
[00:01:09] Alan: So you want the pedal cam so that you’re not having to juggle all that kind of stuff. So there we have one for recycling and one for regular and are able to, that’s probably where we generate the most, you know, waste, not just trash. Empty two liter bottles and paper,
