"My World Turned UpSide Down Again."
M from Daegu met for some very good conversations. Our conversations deal with ecological issues because it is what shapes us and who we are. We met to talk about things and us personally. One of the things we were talking about was the method of garbage and recycling in society or something along those lines. He told me about a statistic from the book Garbage World that shocked me. The author follows the path of her garbage where she finds out from the plants that process the material that 90 percent of the environmental damage done to the planet is not from the litter that we produce. It is actually from the production. It's from the mining of material to make the item and then the drilling of the oil coal or whatever used that makes the energy and then the production facility itself it just icing of it. And once again I felt my world turned upside down.
