You better stop buying those carbon fiber paddles and big plastic and fiber boats then also.

Just imagine how much energy and polution generating byproducts are used to manuafacture just one of your kayaks and all the accessories compared to paper or plastic bags…then when they get old and cracked or you just want the newest latest greatest kayak they will use more energy to get chopped up and thrown in a land fill for Millenniums as they will have a half life of some radioactive material.

The answer is to make your own SOF kayaks using real seals for the skin because they are a renewable resource and the meat and fat could feed the hungry children of the world…the minds eye can picture hundreds of offshore seal ranches and me clubbing baby seals while picking out top choice skins for kayaks and the less than perfect skins for Grocery bags.

Just think about how much energy, materials and added polution went into making your computer and all the other hardware just to send a mesage to this blog…that to will end up as more polution in a landfill…thousands of times worse than any plastic or paper bag revolution.

Of course the above statements are kind of tounge in cheek but it should make us think and act more positively on our real needs versus what is on out want lists.

Once I accumulate a lot of plastic bags I donate them to the thrift shops. I should buy some canvas bags for groceries though.
