In America…

In America, we solve problems by making them profitable. Here is an excellent example. Used tires being recycled into art.  Some artist made money with trash. Glass is crushed and mixed with asphalt which reduces the cost of road repair. A lot of paper is recycled and sold as, well, paper. And – in line with my slogan “History is not the story of the past; it is the study of the future” – why aren’t we recycling plastic bags and making them in to automobile bodies?  During the Second World War, the Ford motor company made auto bodies from marijuana stems.  And those auto bodies were sturdy enough to withstand blows of a sledgehammer!  Slung by no other than Henry Ford himself! And plastic is more durable than marijuana stems.
