But the and let’s hope that’s the case with the your children and grand children very well industrial revolution certainly fueled the pace at which our ozone is depleted. As industry began to have controlled emissions through pollution standards, and cars became less polluting, people began to use more stuff. Not that one necessarily had anything to do with the other but in hurried lives disposable and fast became the answer. This is causing yet another bad circumstance called an over abundance of garbage. We are consuming more than ever. Where on earth is all of the garbage going to go when there is no more space for landfills? Oh that’s right, we’ll start shooting it into space! What is going to happen to our natural resources that are used in the process of having all this stuff? There are simple ways to be less consumptive and one is in the packaging we buy which saves us money and saves in a gazillion ways during the manufacturing process. Buy a large jar of applesauce instead of six small sealed cups; make a box of Jell-o in a dish that is in your cupboard instead of premade individually wrapped containers. You get the picture, same food, less processing less consumption, less landfill waste. Reuse plastic grocery bags or carry canvas bags into the store. Those darn plastic bags are way up there on the waste scale. These types of things aren’t terribly inconvenient and if hundreds or thousands of folks decided to do this there would definitely be an impact.

Cleveland did itself proud. With very little experience and not knowing what to expect, it appears everything went smoothly. Never mind that it’s been twelve years since the last induction. Never mind that this was the first time for many of the coordinators who kept things going. This has to have been one the classiest inductions ever, despite how NYC thinks they got what it takes to run such an event. There were no inductees refusing to show. There was no clash of egos.
