Imported garbage threatens China

[dArKeR]

THE GUARDIAN , LONDON

More than a third of the waste paper and plastic collected by British local authorities, supermarkets and businesses for recycling is being sent 12,875km to China without any knowledge of the environmental or social costs -- and to the complete surprise of most consumers.

New UK government figures suggest that exports to China are running at 200,000 tonnes of plastic rubbish and 500,000 tonnes of paper and cardboard a year -- a huge increase on just three years ago.

Much of the plastic sent to China is packaging but agents for Chinese companies are now buying up and exporting thousands of tonnes of unwashed bottles, containers, and other household waste.

I wish we could send the GOP Gestapo to the Communist garbage dumps!

2. Your phrase caught me eye. It seems to me the Kerry campaign could

be doing a much better job. They should round-table and come up with the best short slanderous phrase on aWol. Then everyone says it at rallys and even TV appearances. Like Kerry could say, in 1968 I was in the hospital and the crowd yells out "Where was George?" And the other half of the crowd would yell, "AWOL".
