Comment on "A Better Future For a Trashy State"

 Very good blog! That’s crazy that people would go to a grocery store just outside of Austin in order to continue using plastic bags! That may very well be the epitome of laziness. The blog is very well written, which aside from the information it has, is what makes it so interesting.

I'm not sure if you meant “zerowaste” when you used that term in the blog. Zero waste is the literal recycling of all things. It requires a one hundred percent self sustaining system, much like nature. Zero trash, zero waste. This is almost completely impossible at this day and age, even with strongly enforced legislation. Just remember to be specific when it comes to the central theme of the argument, it could get confusing for all of those people going outside the city limit to use plastic bags :D.

Interesting blog, and a very fun read!

 Very interesting post. Growing up as a child in the Texas public school system I felt like we were always made to believe that we were a little extraordinary. We would spend all year preparing for the TAAS, or the TAKS tests, and when we would do well on it, we would be praised as if we just graduated high school. We only ever heard the positive side of the story, which was good scores on the standardized tests. No one ever told us that if other kids around the country took the same test they would score better than us. We were essentially given an over inflated sense of accomplishment, which doesn't fix anything. Shortly after high school as I was hearing all of these statistics I couldn't believe it.

Great post! Great, organized and easy to follow information.
