Yesterday the chap across the road had a large tree pruned. Here's the shredder in action.

This, Stuart, reminds of the great film Soylent Green where riots were controlled this way. The actual grinding up was done in the factory.
Recycling has a great future!

Hi Asher,
Yes, I remember the film, and also read the book on which it was based.
Rather extreme recycling, but maybe not much different from the Blood, Fish and Bone fertilizer we used back in the fifties. (Can you still get it? If you can I bet it doesn't smell as bad!). I remember it was very good for tomatoes. Personally I'd quite like to help produce the perfect vegetable. Just imagine - a whisky flavoured tomato.
The recycling involved in my image is more PC however.

Stuart

Stuart,
Imagine they recycled the slaughter house skeletal scraps for making animal feed!
Everyone should have to learn about basic biology, ecology, evolution, sustainability and ethics to get a business license that makes food fertilizer or threatens or controls public health. In the USA school make t compulsory to learn about things like "Women's Studies" or "Black History", but unfortunately, saving the planet, knowing about the carbon cycle, the fragility of ecosystems isn't necessary, LOL!
The ground-up sheep used to feed cows was one of the most immoral recycling ever. They have no defenses built up against that mode of infection transmission of infectious agents and mad cow disease was spread from the sheep prion disease to cattle! The nervous system material in the ground up sheep bones etc brought the infection to the cows and then scraping the meat off bones go that to man!
