More on the News at the Marina

Good Day All Boaters, liveaboards, friends of water!
First off, did you see that bad call at last nights baseball game?! Ruined the Tigers perfect pitch game. That play was clearly called wrong, he was OUT! Oh well, thats why we still love baseball, not a bunch of technical crud always mucking it up. Just take whats caled. Now the league is talking about using replays to make calls like this one. Huh, do we really want to create more red tape yet in another American Icon?
Well, I read over the rest of the marina news and will pass it on to you.

The newsletter has a couple interesting facts to encourage recycling:

Americans throw away enough aluminum every month to rebuild the entire commercial airfleet

Americans use 100 million tin and steel cans every day. It takes 80-100 years for an aluminum can to decompose.

Each year Americans toss 25,000,000,000 Styrofoam cups (thats enough to circle the earth 436 times)

I have a couple more blogs that both deal with recycling. One is for recycling eyeglasses by donating them to help the needy. The other is to recycle cellphones, & a large portion of proceeds goes to help protect the planet thru the Sierra Club You can see them via their links here:
Those in Favor Say "EYE"-Eyeglass donation
