  • The 'unmentionables'

    G'Day
    No I wasn't kidding...but I'm pleased that you have paused for a moment to consider 'the world within a grain of sand'. At least we can see an elephant charging around clearly but not so the zillions of little unmentionable acts committed daily by none other than we the 'dominant species'  affecting most of the world's 'other species'.
    Adding to my horror list of rarely discussed 'disposables' could be:-
    condoms, disposable nappies, cigarette butts, chewing gum just to name a few...
    I could sleep better at night  if I could be convinced that all 'this  stuff' is being taken care of by a responsible 'global committee'.

  • tissue disposal

    Dear Umbra d'Grist

    I feel that your response to concerns about disposing of tissues is a little flippant and a tad condescending; it truly is a topic of tremendous concern when you think about the amount of used refuse being flushed away generally into oceans all over the world. To add to the humble little snot rag there must be an unbelievable amount of sanitary napkins,incontinence pads as well as a number of other 'hygiene' products clogging the system. The mind boggles! I believe all these little unmentionable environmental hazards really need to be discussed in full.
