Landfills
As the topic is landfills, let's hope this is not merely space fill (what the heck - this is not an exactly optimistic subject). An article in the Sunday, September 27, 2015 edition of The Dallas Morning News goes on to discuss how we in the United States are sending twice as much to landfills than the EPA had estimated. I would be happy to roll with the "lies, darned lies, and statistics" bit (they say we average sending five pounds a day per person to the landfills, but just the other day I helped clean out a garage which must have covered for 100 people, so there's not an easy correlation going on here), but it is interesting that the gov thought we were recycling a third of our garbage when it's more likely we're only going for a fifth (probably both sets of statisticians did much the same when compiling < I know. I should scotch that comment>). So surely, Shirley, this is where Elephant Trunk steps in. With Elephant Trunk, there is no disposal of cardboard boxes or bubble wrap; hence, less burdening of our landfills. Also, our reusable moving boxes come complete with lids affixed; hence, less burdening of your soul while trying to wield that "mor miserables"* tape dispenser. Go Gray!
