If only I was younger and knew my way thru RD politics
-----------------------------------------
when I was younger , I was in the printing business for a while

We paid to have our scrap paper hauled away
Then, our luck changed.... removal was FREE!!

Got even better.... they paid for our garbage...
From then on - it was just a matter of how much they paid.

Recycling had started

Imagine the cane scrap at those rum factories !!
