Funny when I think of the old days when we were so "un-green"...
We bought soda in glass bottles that were returned and washed then re-used.
We burned most of our trash at the burn pile and only left a small bag of glass and cans for trash pickup.
Milk came in paper cartons or returnable glass bottles.
Now everything is plastic (made from oil) and little of this is recycled.
The only problem with $4 gal. gas is people don't have enough money left over after the taxes and overpriced houses and cars...
Gas was $1 a gallon int 1982 and a new car was about $8k, a house was $70k.
All we've done for the last 30yrs is drive manufacturing out of the country and this is the real result of agencies like the EPA, NRC and of course idiot "flower children".
