the bike trail nearest me, when it first opened, proudly proclaimed about all the recycled glass that was used to make the trail....until - surprise surprise - cyclists started getting flat tires from the pavement.
Who could have predicted that?
- terminalserver 6y agoIt’s not the epic stupidity that bothers me - it’s the fact that it’s self evident - that’s what really bothers me. It’s blindingly obvious this is a really bad idea. What is so great about putting waste in surfaces that is driving this foolish rush to environmental disaster? When something obviously stupid is happening and you just can’t see why, sniff to smell who’s money is behind it. Actually the epic stupidity does bother me.
- mensetmanusman 6y agoThis is quite funny, thanks for sharing. Part of me thinks this comes from the juvenile way that recycling is taught in our schools. Kids don’t leave with a good understanding of the conservation of mass/energy; everything we have around us is made from the earth, our goal has to be getting it back into the earth in as gentle a way as possible.
