Marlo: I remember when Starbucks wasn't so bad.... but always expensive. At least they have fair trade coffee available and are trying to integrate better recycling procedures. And I admit, I still like their espresso.......

in response to: Tim in the Streets by Marlo

Chris Erb: The ultimate solution would be for everyone to carry a reuable coffee mug with a cover on it. There would be no litter, garbage or complicated recycling processes. It would also save a......

EvilGentleman: Hmmm, I suspect that the cups **could** become recyclable if they were processed in a way that heated them up to melt off the wax coating first. There may be a new industry here, just......

in response to: Tim in the Streets by Marlo

EvilGentleman: Firstly, I see someone has already "Rrrrrrolled up the rrrrrrrim" on the pictured cup. Secondly, I must admit I miss New Brunswick. I have not seen it since 1989, and have not lived there since 1980.......

Heather: It's just crazy. We've also lost a couple recycling bins. Not sure how a house number painted on will help deter the thiefs but I'm going to try that. Off to the......

in response to: The 'Green' Thief by Elicar

Elicar: Welcome to the club, Heather. I suspect, it would be someone from your neighbourhood as I did mine. No one would like to be seen walking around with "used" recycling bins. It is also a......

in response to: The 'Green' Thief by Elicar

Elicar: Gee, the "green" thief could be affecting my life more than the $50.00 I spent for replacements. I have to change my lifestyle now. Shop at No frills or Price Choppers, hail a cab......

in response to: The 'Green' Thief by Elicar

Elicar: Anthing is possible. Your suggestion is sound, however, where would I get an endless free supply of cardboard boxes? Plus, a box of 80 clear blue bags cost $8.00. Just add $2.00 so theplastic box......

in response to: The 'Green' Thief by Elicar

S: Is it possible these bins are being blown down the road by the wind?. Why waste the money buying new recycling boxes. Just use a cardboard box or put the stuff in clear......

in response to: Anti-terror Recycling Bin by Ken

EvilGentleman: Wow, how intelligent. Now terrorists will be forced to wrap their bombs in newspapers, if they still want to bomb recycling bins. At least the police will now know that anyone carrying a parcel wrapped......

Matthew: That's a pretty useless idea about the see through garbage bags. How many people are really going to take a good look in the bag? Another thing in the picture is that all the different......

What's Really Going On Here: It's interesting that this is primarily a concerned citizen vs. a s***head matter, not a cyclist vs motorist issue. The reason why it has exploded as the latter is due to the decades of......

Unbelievable: Both parties in this are definitely ego-monsters. I agree with the above poster(Sault Ste. Marie) and many others. The courier should have taken down the plate number and reported the motorist, and picked up the......

Krusty: To:saskatooncycling@yahoogroups.com This kind of article just drives me nuts. It's just another case of that god damn CBC forwarding it's socialist agenda and attempting it's usual "social engineering" by reporting on some insignificant action of what was......
