        If only the leaders of our country believed in the need for this in the USA. I wonder when the light will dawn on us?

        And plastic individually wrapped slices of American so-called cheese. That is just nuts. How hard is it to separate one slice of cheese from another?

        If only the USA would follow suit. One of the many things I noticed when visiting Germany years ago was the cleanliness of the people,towns and cities. The people I met were proud of their country and treated it accordingly.

        Why don't they just deal with their own trash instead of allowing criminals to dump it in the oceans by the barge full?

        Of course this is not as simple as it sounds, but it's a start. Restaurants and bars are terrible about being factory to trash conveyer belts for plastic. I always hear the same excuse that they *can't* recycle, which I find very suspicious.
