I'm watching that "plastic alternatives"/CBC Marketplace piece that circulated earlier today, and screaming at the screen, "god damn it, high school fucking chemistry!" because of the misinformation that's coming out of my screen. Some good info in here, but shit damn fuck piss, NO, they are not "capturing the carbon released and turning it into natural gas", for fuck's sake. They might be capturing the methane and using it, but they aren't doing magic with C and CO2 and somehow wishing the H into existence because they clapped really hard for Tinkerbell. And anyone who's come through grade fucking ten as it existed thirty fucking years ago should know that! Also, this reporter who has a compost bin in her own backyard doesn't understand that "a few weeks" isn't nearly enough for things like paper cups and bamboo forks? Oh my god, she doesn't know shit about composting. Dry paper cups in a bin with dry fall leaves, and that's it?
This is some of the worst reporting I've seen in a while. It's almost tailor-made to discourage people from even trying with more planet-friendly alternatives. Boo, CBC.
