“I have come to realize that academic world does not actually contribute much to our society, other than complaining”… yes, Sally, what has the academic world ever done for us? Oh yeah, I forgot – they have educated doctors, nurses, pharmacists, pharmaceutical researchers, scientists in all other fields of science, engineers, lawyers, etc, etc. The next time you go to the hospital or drug store for a prescription, or drive over a bridge without it collapsing, you can thank the academic world for ensuring that all of the professionals who look after your health care or build the buildings you live in and roadways you drive on have been thoroughly trained. You sure seem to have an irrational hate on for anything or anyone in the academic world. Is it possibly a case of envy?

Again, the issue is whether technology and innovation can solve the problems of plastic waste with recycling – its not enough to just arbitrarily ban things and complain about them — I have come to realize that academic world does not actually contribute much to our society, other than complaining – but if they get paid well and have some letters after their name I guess that’s enough for them?
Recycle repurpose reuse… this is where creativity and technology meet up… I recommend people see the potential for things that are ‘trash’ because they’re there.. you’ve seen the house built from recycle plastic right? Well this is where they go with their plans… making use of things that are seen as at the end of their ‘plastic lives’ is the future.. so think out of the box . https://halifax.citynews.ca/local-news/nova-scotian-house-built-from-plastic-bottles-is-a-world-first-1548797
Bruce Wark often censors commentary at his website comments section and its a problem.. but he doesn't seem to care. Editing comments is also something Bruce Wark does which is highly suspect as well -- one has to ask why he is acting as a gatekeeper to the flow of information online? Is it just another case of the Boomer Knows Best Mentality?
Does journalistic integrity mean censoring commentary from his website? Why?
