It was a very good dinner but in a world where a huge portion live on two dollars a day this might seem excessive.
My son and I were clearing out the house, part of the estate of a relative, and I remarked; “If this had been Bangladesh there wouldn’t be enough left to haul away.” This is all going to the land fill. There are things that are being recycled: paper, fabric, clothing, and house hold goods, but what is here is one of two forty cubic yard dumpster, and these dumpster will not hold it all. There is enough to fill another. This house is a modest two bedroom house: kitchen, dining room, one bath and living room with a basement built in mid twentieth century.
My remark about Bangladesh may have in a modest way been flip, but it is remarkable how much we can afford to bury.
think of it as carbon sequestration
per capita energy used: 2 or 400, the range of energy use among
societies
