I need to sleep well,
but sleep is a waste of time,
so I will sleep late.
I want to sleep late,
but I will wake up late,
damned be dilemmas.
Damned be my eyes,
why cannot it be closed now?
I want to sleep well.
Still open I see,
and I see everything,
I need not see it.
Close I beg you please,
to see sunlight ere I sleep,
is too much to bare.
p/s – the recycling culture in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Funny how the recycling culture opposition asserts that recycling is a waste of money. Pittsburgh city council on the other hand has this to say:
Costa said failing to recycle costs the city money. It’s paid $11 a ton for glass, cans and plastics and $30 a ton for newspaper, Costa said. Statewide, the average cost to take municipal trash to a landfill is about $57 per ton, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Regardless of that, people who think recycling is wasteful usually forget about the main drive behind recycling: it is about reducing waste, not about making money.
And efficiency includes not merely greenbacks but also includes the utility of having a cleaner environment (unless you like an environment comparable to the dumpyard, maybe a cleaner environment is an griffin good for you) to name one. or the utility of having more trees to name two.
pp/s – BusinessWeek is running an issue on global warming. It is long but nothing is new except the part where the article claims the business sector is ahead of the Bush administration in term of policy and technology concerning global warming.
