RECYCLING A CRIME

CONCRETE HUGGER TIMES

After so many years scientists have concluded that recycling does more harm to both people and the ecology than previously believed.  Over the past 20 years conclusive evidence has been gathered to show that recycling not only causes a major loss of energy but also results in the transmission of heavy metals and a myriad of biological problems for almost every species.

It was thought that by recycling products we are actually saving energy and preserving the ecology and that economically it provides jobs for people.

Mike Berstein said that according to the many studies conducted over the past decade that this is simply not true and recycle lobbyists have been lying about something they knew many years ago.  There are no less than 50 new diseases which are a direct result of recycled materials.  Breast cancer, colon cancer are just two.  It was found that recycled materials especially plastics carried a variety of bacteria that caused mutagenic behavior when combined with common resident bacteria ecoli.

The greatest concern has been the loss of energy as recycled material requires moving, cleaning, transforming, remanufacturing and reutilization.  The overall cost is much more than raw materials no matter how the numbers are reconfigured.  Only certain metals have shown an almost identical cost to raw materials.  Metals so it has been discovered have retention memory and have lead to many defects in products that require precision.  As of 2035 no speed quo manufacturer allows recycled materials to be used in embrionic nano bots as they almost always result in severe defects given certain conditions.

A new law has been passed by the North America League of businesses to outlaw recycling and put a penalty of 20 material credits against any organization caught continuing this outdated business.

The Day Small Industry Officially Died

Since 2015 people have been making their own things at home.  Hundreds of thousands of personal manufacturing devices have been sold.  This created a Sparse Network Supply chain where people bid to produce certain parts of different pieces of equipment at home.  Eventually people were making the very machines that were being sold to them as a product.   They were making improvements and sharing their ideas over the saninet, the network that excludes any form of social vices and focuses on opensource hoducts.

Now it is official the last non-home based manufacturer in china has closed the factory, which will now be transformed into housing for the area homeless.  This was the last manufacturer of polyresinous material.  Now with the recent years advances in extracting carbon from the air and converting it with household organic waste to create new input materials, there was no economic reason for the factory.

Since 2020 cars are illegal and orbitram and pmovers are used for public transportation so only panufacturers exist to make the large objects such as aircarriers, sea platforms and the like.  Matt Darwin has predicted that these too will to the same direction as nanobots make their way into replacing conventional materials such as steel timber and other singluar materials.
