[QUOTE="newholland, post: 6698100, member: 242"] [URL='https://www.greenteamgazette.com/2015/10/great-pacific-garbage-patch-revisited.html'][IMG alt="Image result for google earth great pacific garbage patch"]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W8xgDc2ehUc/VhA9_FqacRI/AAAAAAAADw0/CkH1508a4qk/s1600/the-great-pacific-garbage-patch_51eff7d49055a.png[/IMG][/URL] Just had a very interesting Christmas reading about the Junk raft and Roz Savage. Is anybody on TFF trying to halt commercial farming's hunger for plastic usage? Is anybody attempting to change the agricultural communities general lazy desire to proudly burn, bury or conveniently ignore its waste whilst openly taking pride in allowing it to become somebody else's problem?. The farm plastic recycling companies are getting fewer year on year. Red tractor waste policing is pathetic and easily side stepped. We need to get a forward thinking grip on the situation. Stopping using plastic in the first place is the answer. Does anybody have any contacts with regard to companies or farmers who have successfully found ways to stop single use plastic in farming and / or dairy farming in particular?. Mashed potatoes on the silage clamp instead of plastic etc?. There is no such word as "can't". Positive replies only please. PS - agricultural plastic consumption seems to be 15% of the total world plastic usage, so yes, we can make a big difference. PPS - the plastic used to wrap bales each year would wrap the whole world 20 times over. Year on year. [/QUOTE]
