Finally, it's Summer!!!

I'm into recycling, upcycling, whatever term you want to use. I was doing this before it was considered the thing to do. However, I read an article the other day that makes me think about just how far should we go with this? Read this article:

France sets project to recycle dirty diaper

PARIS – Suez Environnement, Europe’s second- largest water and waste company, has started a research project to recycle and produce energy from the one million tons of dirty diapers thrown into French landfills each year.
Scientists working on the Paris-based company’s “Happy Nappy” program will attempt to crush and separate out the different parts of soiled diapers for recycling and biogas, according to a statement.
“On average a baby will require 6,000 nappies in the first two years of life. None of this is currently recycled,” Suez Environnement said. Together with wet wipes and paper tissues, they make up about 9 percent of household waste.
Under the $491,000 project, the utility will seek to isolate plastics, polymers, fibers and organic waste from the diapers which may then be recycled or transformed into compost or energy from biogas.
