Yeah - and the last update that I saw on prohibited items for the

I suspect VCR tapes are prohibited because they really should be
recycled instead. I know it's fun to talk about "those stupid
environmentalists who don't even know what rust is" but it's not realistic.
Of course, I have always had the idea that if they took all of the
plastic junk they have produced since the invention of plastic, and
laid it end to end - IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
It's all about thermal depolymerization. This technology could really
save us. I don't understand why it isn't being pursued more actively.
This sounds like a fancy name for "burning".
