"Kind of like a zombie," said Captain Major. "We started describing it like zombielike, where they might be eating the grass that they're lying in or they are tearing at their clothes."

I saw that and scratched my head a bit. Same thing with Duerte and the Philippines. It was shipped to??? What happened to the buyers??? Are telling us it was cheaper to ship it to no one and hope it goes un-noticed than to pay the disposal fees???

“Universally, people know we’re supposed to eat vegetables every day. But 90 percent of American’s don’t eat the recommended amount. So we said if others can make meat out of vegetables, why can’t we make vegetables out of meat?”

To fulfill his vision of turning meats into vegetables, Jim turned to Neville Craw, Vice President of Culinary Innovation & Brand Executive Chef for Arby’s, to create the first Megetable.

I crewed on the Brig Niagara one weekend. My buddy wanted to do the traditional thing and hang a hammock below deck. I chose the modern air mattress on the floor. In the middle of the night, I hear a loud THUMP. The knot holding his hammock up let go. Fortunately it was the feet end as he was over a meter off of the sole. ;)

Eighty-three shipping containers full of rubbish were found on Tuesday at Sihanoukville, Cambodia’s main port, according to a spokesman for the country’s environment minister.


It's a long haul from New Jersey to Cambodia.
Rubbish or recycling? Some countries that were buying plastics to recycle are now not allowing it to enter the country. https://e360.yale.edu/features/pili...-importing-waste-has-stalled-global-recycling

You missed my point. It was sorted and bought by China and other places to melt down and pelleted. When working for GM we bought all of the scrap nylon cloth from New Balance shoes, it was then melted and pelleted and used to make components.

My point is they now have plenty (smokey mountains of it) of their own trash to make recycled products.
