dear garbage day again diary,
i wish more than anything there was some way to prove that having six times the stinking garbage hauling vehicles creeping around our city all week everyday has got to be equal to or worse than the amount of garbage we were putting in our landfill before they implemented the new recycling program for yard waste and recyclables. the trees along my street just seem to hold the exhaust from those foul diesel engines as they stop at each house and go, and stop, and go. don't even get me wrong, i am a fanatic at recycling and ima rinser too- i am a clean recycler. it's just that if we are trying to good things for our environment, why do i smell the exhaust from THREE trucks in my house every tuesday? since our recycling is paid for with our water bill, a city utility, and we have other city departments who sit around and do NOTHING while they aren't actually 'working,' i think it would be a great idea if the neighborhood firemen at all local fire stations would send crews out to walk and pick up their assigned recycling areas on a weekly basis. it would be a great way for the fire personnel to meet the people they will potentially 'save' and keep them from soliciting for anal sex on the internet when there isn't a fire burning.
