Chapter 3 responses

 In chapter 3, Edward Humes discusses how America's plastic dramatically has increase over sixty-three times thrown in the trash as in 1960. This shows that plastic wasn't really used back around the 19th century. All this happen until Coca-Cola decided to use plastic instead of reusable glass as sodas container. They chose this decision knowing it would lower their wieght and cost. Especially discovering that the company doesn't need to pay a dime because the cost was external. Humes explains how after they use this cycle, an increase of plastic are being sold along with being the second weightiest component of garbage which was really interesting. Although J. Gordon Lippincott's vision for buisness really annoyed me. His way of seeing things was that the more consumers buy, the more good fortune America would become. I didn't like the fact that he persuaded the consumers to disregard useful materials and buy better ones or else our economy would fall. This has cause an increase of trash to be placed on. In the other hand, something else Humes wrote in this chapter catch my attention "crimes". I never thought the workers in the landfills would actually find a deceased body. I always watch movies about dumping a body or rolling into a carpet but, I would never thought it would be discovered at the landfills. In any case, I hope this can persuade the people not to throw off useful things and to recycle their plastic because this is the only way to loose this race of trash.
