Worthy Reiterations

There are topics and information on topics that are worthy of daily thought and talk. Garbage is one such topic. Its damaging potential hides well, somewhere down on the land and out in the sea, “out of sight, out of mind.” Our habits contribute to this growing nuisance, as substantiated by various outlets.

“The world now produces more than a billion tons of garbage a year,” Kevin Sieff, Washington Post, November 21, 2017. What happens to it is something to note. Is it recycled, is it composted; is recycling and composting the ultimate fix? Waste not, want not.

Each time I put my garbage out I cringe from simply knowing my trash represents only one family, wasting and sending crud to the land fields or out to sea even, and unfortunately playing its role in the world’s negative overfill, dirtying the Earth. Among the remedies to corral this problem, perhaps we can live each day like its Earth Day.

 “Go, tell it on the mountain
 Over the hills and everywhere…” (thanks for song, Mahalia Jackson and others)  

When trash and garbage is not handled smart it ultimately will cause trouble, therefore, it merits caring about its potential negative impact to the environment. What happens to it is worthy of reiterating. One source advises, about one country’s trash, telling that it accounts for over one-third of the world’s waste (A Garbology Challenge). We thereby can imagine the trash of the world that’s produced individually in homes, sweet homes, piling mounds of debris, causing pollution problems, among others, if we are not mindful.

Remember, wholesomeness comes from soil, “…For you were made from dust and to dust you will return,” Genesis 3:19, rather significant. If our only choice was synthetic fruits and vegetables without outer peelings and having no juice, eating could be as choking as a polluted world.

Let our thoughts be filled with reiterations, day-to-day, for what garbage means and let us think and plan, making taking care and protecting our planet our highest goal.
