Many of us take our garbage and toss it in a garbage can. We somehow want to deny it's existence. That trash can goes out to the curb and a big automated trash machine takes it away to the landfill, far from our own site. Or maybe if you live in the country, you know a little bit a more about trash.
You've probably burn it yourself, smelled all those toxins burn, and watched it flash up into flame. But have you sat and watched it smolder for those countless hours as those man made products are destroyed? All that hard work being consumed by flame and being reduced to ash just so you can continue to consume precious resources.

As of yesterday, New York got two new urban areas in 2020 Urban Areas, which changed the definition of what an urban area is:
- Clayton, NY
- Fire Island, NY
https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/urban-rural/2020-ua-facts.html
I bet the people of Clayton must be thrilled that they now live in an urban area. I wonder how they woke to the news that now live in an urban area as of this morning?
