  Trash Discernment

  Yeah, I think it would be helpful to categorize the types of trash.  Here in our part of Japan, we have to divide our trash into a number of categories, one   of which is "combustible," which is supposed to be composed mostly of food scraps and wood, small bits of paper (as most paper is recycled), that kind of thing.  We don't burn it ourselves, though.  I'd like to have a better understanding of what might be okay to burn and what definitely wouldn't (well--I know it's bad to burn any kind of plastic, but it's other things I'm not so sure about).  I'm also curious about beach bonfires, where people seem blissfully unaware of what they throw on the wood to keep the fire burning.On Umbra on burning trash posted 2 years, 10 months ago 7 Responses
