    It's a pity that meaningful debate almost always turns into a childish mudslinging and name calling. SoS. Grow up guys!

    For every one that falls off one end there are a number that climb aboard the other.
    very true.. You should always follow your passion and talents and start a business that you see yourself doing when money is not coming in fast enough. Now before you get me wrong I am not saying you should stick to something that is not working, but if others are making money out of it, and you are fulfilled doing it then most certainly keep going. All businesses have their up's and down's and it's not always smooth sailing. At times it just a case of getting people with complimentary skills that you are short in to help you.

    Let's revive business Ideas.I am sure there are some pretty innovative guys out there and would like to hear from them.

    Plastic pollution has been prevalent in the news lately with everything from townships to oceans being polluted by tons of plastic.
    I have recently seen an article of guys making bricks from recycled plastic. Also seen park benches and garden tools etc.
    In the Eastern Cape and in KZN the first plastic roads are being built. Strips of 1 - 5 km of road will be tested with a new mixture of bitumen and recycled plastic.
    So instead of polluting our rivers and dams, we can now spread it on the road!

    Recycling plastic is REALLY REALLY difficult. The biggest problem is that not all plastics are the same. Plastics have to be separated before processing. Separating plastic is very difficult because it cannot be done mechanically - it is mostly done by hand. Now the problem gets even bigger because hygiene is crucial when working by hand. We all know that our plastic and other waste is contaminated and one runs the risk of coming into contact with medical waste. Unless waste is properly cleaned and separated at source it is nearly impossible to do (let alone do cost effectively)

    I am not knocking the idea of recycling per se, I just think that it it made out to be a panacea which it isn't. The best way to "save the environment" is to limit the over use of hazardous materials at source. Look at how much waste got sent back to the US, Canada and other 1st world countries after being dumped on small countries. The 1st world is totally incapable of recycling its own waste -I watched a documentary where they show that all the carefully separated recycling simply gets dumped into landfills because it is simply too costly and difficult to process.

    Agreed, recycling is very costly and cumbersome, but there are actually some guys who have found a solution to recycling plastics. Do they perhaps have a source of
    "clean: plastic?

    The best way to save the environment may be to start eating human flesh as one scientist suggested recently. (Shock & horror!) He did not actually suggest cannibalism but recycling flesh of the deceased. Sounds more like eating "roadkill" to me. To be honest, reducing the human population will solve 90% of our problems as we are running out of resources, including water and clean air.
