Once upon a time -
I created Lady Peach.
Then - I used a blog format as my "free psychiatrist" and easily purged the hideous experience I lived through thanks to my husband's entaglement with the American legal system. Writing jibberish for under one month - cleared my mind. One years worth of tribulations - gone in less than one month. Amazing, the power of the keyboard! I took a hiatus after 2015 my last post - until today when I went to my mail box and took delivery of an on-line purchase.
Since the election of Donald Trump, I have become wary of expressing opinions. I am seriously concerned about the power of Google and all of the computers storing information - and worried about "lists" that might be in the making, and possibly stored. This is the age of conspiracy theory and I must admit I am afraid that there might be some truth to all of the crazy things out there. Historically - I know that lists were made and kept during Stalin and Hitler times so why woud the power play be differnet now?
I tread carefully. I want to raise my concerns about GLOBAL WARMING and my concerns of a scripted narrow taling points on the subject.
I was born in Hamilton, Ontario - Steel town. I loved the old Hamilton. You dressed up to go downtown- you might bump into people you knew. You might even have planned a rendevous downtown so you would look your best. Downtown was busy. You simply put your best foot forward to be seen at your best in busy alive downtown. If you bought anything - you carried your purcase home in a bag.
Today, oh so conveniently, I opened my mailbox at the end of my drive, and pulled out a lovely large bubble wrapped package. This buble wrap - encased a basic plastic "bag" which covered a cardboard box. Inside the box was the tissue wrapped garment which I paid $112, tax included.
Please explain to me how all of this packaging is environmentally friendly? We are asked to recycle yet my parcel generated a full bag of plastic garbage. Florida does not recycle plastic bags. This is an IN YOUR FACE example of waste and a clear abuse of every environmental principle. How is this on-line shopping efficient? This is hurting the environment BIG TIME - never mind the loss of jobs in retail - the amount of trash I have to pull to the curb is truly upsetting.
More on Trash tomorrow,
