The price of convenience

Originally posted at http://scopemix.wordpress.com/

When I took home some food the other night from a restaurant, sure it was easy to carry due to the styropor packaging and the plastic bag.
But the thought occured to me that these packages will end up eventually among the heaps of trash which pollutes our environment.  That was when I realized that all the conveniences of modern living has its price . . . and one of them is environmental degradation.
At first I had this feeling of helplessness about the future of our environment . . . but another realization occurred to me that the same inventiveness that created this problem can be used by man to solve it.
