Recycled at the end of it's life cycle? Large scale disasters, especially in the Third World, render vast regions devastated for years and thus luxuries like recycling aren't reasonable. And asking aid agencies to recover them strains their already limited budgets.
While I think these are a really nice idea, the 'green' sales spin should be dropped from what are, essentially, the plastic water-bottles of the disaster world.

You have to bury the grass quite deep before combustion will occur. And I suspect people lugging tools up there weren't composting their clippings on site.

How it started and (potentially) who started it are rather irrelevant until the fire is out. However, if you have the energy to be conducting thought experiments like this then may I suggest channeling that energy into volunteering at a local shelter, donating canned goods, or any of the countless other ways you can actually help the people caught up in this.

For those who can't translate, that should be 100 yards, not years.

EZK, The Independent's website has always been better at covering these fires than the local broadcast news. I'm very thankful for that.

The entire movement against plastic bags is off of their danger to marine life - a danger completely fictionalized. The study that originated the fear was on fishing nets and a single agenda-driven activist skewed it into bags.
And the rest they say is history. A history that makes rich, white people feel better about themselves and poor, brown people have a harder time making ends meet.

Dave, you're a very bizarre man if you're still trying to tie this into Bush. Move on, relax, enjoy life. And look up a little thing called 'cause and effect'. You seem blissfully unaware of it.
Personally, I'll miss the cafe. And I want to thank Paul for all the love and work he put into making it a special place for Santa Barbara.

So 30 people turned out because they think $5/gallon gas is too cheap? If Obama runs on that platform then he'll be lucky to carry one state.

Hey, all she has to do is wait for S. 2611 to pass and then declare she's illegal. Then amnesty kicks in, she's out...no legal bills. I don't see any need for fuss.

Oddly enough, when a study backed by the petroleum industry is published news organs go out of their way to display this. Yet when the big Green organizations fund agenda-centered research it's taken at face value.
Perhaps one area of human activity needing focused management is the corrosive and corrupting influence activist-funding has had on science.
