This week's "theme" is this photograph (taken by Mrs. Ridiculous). Reader...wonder not...how the Doctor will find enough in this image to blog about for an ENTIRE WEEK. He promises not to disappoint!!!
This is a pizza box that was carelessly tossed from a car/truck along our beautiful rural road. Littering is bad...indeed horrible (especially an object this large). This cardboard box will biodegrade after less than a year in our rainly Oregon winter. However, careful observation will show an aluminum can lying nearby in the tall grass. The life of a soda/beer can is 500 years.
Five Hundred Years!
But "litter bug" don't worry...in a hundred years (or so) the aluminum can you are wantonly threw from your vehicle will be buried by the decomposing paper trash you throw... unless you continue to throw cans, and in that case, the sides of our roadways be be a never-ending "aluminum can recycle center"
Re the can, the litterbug is depriving homeless people of their trashcan-diving income. So many Phoenix street people depend on cans!
