Now, I'll be honest and say that it would bother me less if the things were designed to last a reasonable time, and then needed to be trashed when broken, but things today seem to be designed to break as soon as they come out of the box. Argh, even McGuyver would go nuts trying to patch up the simplest junky tea kettle these days!wandering lizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965985016596683276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003026.post-1117781201233891152005-06-03T08:46:00.000+02:002005-06-03T08:46:00.000+02:00yes, it's something that's certainly advanced, tho...yes, it's something that's certainly advanced, though I'd like to see more! (broken appliances for example!!) My grandmothers communal HLM in Brittany also even has a compost bin.

A bit of a drag really!N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17375561196259175045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003026.post-1117731225370775892005-06-02T18:53:00.000+02:002005-06-02T18:53:00.000+02:00When we moved here 5 years ago there was no recycl...When we moved here 5 years ago there was no recycling in our neighborhood... except some glass bins down the street. Now we have separate bins for paper, bottles, glass and regular garbage and it brightens my day that the recycle bins are always full.SuburbaMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523235940435538494noreply@blogger.com
