What do you think of littering? Do you think there should be stricter laws in place? I don’t even like cigarette butts on the ground. We live rural & we see so much junk dumped around here. My husband even caught a lady dumping a mattress into the ditch! He said something & stayed until she put it back in her vehicle. She probably dumped it somewhere else as soon as he left but we can only do what we can. Can't control people's actions. If they get rid of plastics especially disposables, we will still have litterbugs, but at least paper will biodegrade eventually. Plastic never will.

Actually, I just saw something on the internet. I'm not sure how true is it, but somebody figured out how to turn waste plastic back into usable oil for gasoline. I need to do more research on this, but, that's a step in the right direction! Now, we just need to get off of using all these fossil fuels. (Which is also totally possible with the use of magnetic generators) Oh, but wait... nobody will get RICH using that!

Then it would be burned like gasoline & then wouldn't have as harsh an impact I'd think. Microplastics in the environment are detrimental so we need to come up with an alternative.

That's why I'm such a big proponent toward using Electromagnetism as well as other natural power solutions, like solar and wind, even geothermal! We HAVE the technology and knowledge to USE them, but CHOOSE not to because of a bunch of greedy pric-- people.

Yeah, there should be stricter laws. Harsher penalties.

They need to catch them in the act. So now we need litter police.

I caught your word lol The thing with some green energy is that it lines the bigwigs pocketbooks more than actually helps the environment & its people. Solar would be great, but make them cheaper for people to use & ways to recycle them. Yeah, there should be stricter laws. Harsher penalties. Definitely harsher penalties. They need to catch them in the act. So now we need litter police. I think of litter as a crime, because it is & we as citizens can report it. "Everybody" (except us anyways lol) has a cell phone on 24/7, dashcams, house cams, that I'm surprised more people are NOT caught red-handed.
