And not all about that but what do you think about the styrfoam trays we use! So much garbage!

Well, what I think is Single Stream Recycling. It may not recycle the styrfoam but it's definitely easier then recycling everything in boxes or even worse...just paper.

I have thought a lot about this. everything, I mean EVERYTHING should be made to recycle. Like say you buy a toaster. the toaster gets old/brakes. the owner should be able to get a screwdriver and dissemble it. The plastic outer shell, and maybe some of the metallic inside/screws could be recycled. All electronics would be made user friendly to dismantle in order to remove major components (like plastic/metal) to be re-processed into new things. All of it could be recycled.. but it would be a huge improvement. I know this will never happen... but it would be nice.
Realistically, having all packaging made recyclable by law for retail in (name of country) would be the next big step. That and making curb side recycling(with electric trucks) or a town recycling deport in every town. Hopefully this would be free, the costs being paid for by the sale of recycled goods.

Recycling is fun!
