I love this story. One person's trash becomes several other people's treasure.

George Monbiot posted a good article in the Guardian. I have just started reading Against The Grain by James Scott. Monbiot promises his own notion of a "path forward" next week but I am always skeptical of such plans. By the time we humans notice a problem we are deep in the manure pile. The end of civilization? Depends on how you define civilization. And how far down the organizational and technology slide we go.
