Hate to love it...

so it's been great weather for riding lately... the snow is disappearing and the warmth from the sun feels good on the back and dark clothing.... but as much as i love to log some good miles over march break and during the spring... i'm always discouraged by how society defaults to the laziest answer... yes i'm talking about the amount of trash that can be seen in the ditches now that the snow has gone and the weeds have yet to grow to a height sufficient to cover it....

here's something to think about... and i have been on my rides lately...

if Great Demand and Restricted Supply = Increased Price, then remember these facts.....

the next time you complain about the price of gas, realize that in order to make 1 plastic water bottle (that we buy by the case at the grocery store), it takes approximately 1/4 of that bottle to produce (plastic, gas for machines) and transport (ship, tanker, gas truck, delivery truck, your car) that bottle to the grocery store and then to your home...

to reduce that cost, recycling would make perfect sense (not using new fossil fuel and reducing the transport distance) but we only recycle 1 out of every 5 plastic bottles... the rest get tossed out windows, in the trash or left behind for someone else to deal with.... pure laziness....

if we reduce the Demand on a Limited product, theoretically the Price for that product will reduce... as long as the government has some common sense in them....

all the more reason to drink Tap Water and Ride your Bike....
