    brilliant, but i hope that when they have finished using them, they wont end up in nature...

    guess they will become bags or other useful goods afterwards. these people don't have the luxury to litter.

    that seems ro be very truth, recently i visited vietnam, and i was flabbergasted by the efficincy of the recycling system there, everything is worth a cent, so everything is collected and immediately sorted out by hand by the poorest people and gathered in small centres in every neighbourhood, then compacted and driven out of town to the factories....

    i really started to doubt what is better, our 'organised' and 'rich' society or their self-organising chaos...
