I collect accessory computer waste via my GreenDisk trash can at my children’s school.  Okay, I admit it.   In fact, truth be told, I have been obsessively collecting  electronic accessory waste for 3 1/2 years which includes DVDs, CDs, VHS, and their plastic cases  and other assorted goodies.  (Read here what GreenDisk recycles.)

Now that you know what kind of lunatic I am.  Are you wondering why?  There is an obvious method to my madness.  At least I think so.

So why did this  fascination become a hobby?  I got turned onto collecting computer accessories because I was the recipient of umpteen copies of AOL CD disks.  Do you remember when you were constantly getting those AOL try me disks in the mail?  So, what did you think people did with them?

Some crafty people actually made home made goodies to give to their loved ones.  (You know, those beautiful coasters for your drinks?)  The vast majority did the old pitch in the trash can routine.

I just thought…

I was reading about fishing the other day ( beside project management fly fishing another of my passions) that the soft plastic baits used by fisherman are harming fish, especially our native Maine brook trout and salmon populations.  It seems that these baits, sometimes pulled off hooks or lost overboard, are readily ingested by the fish. Because they are not digestible, they tend hang around in the fish’s stomach for quite a while before being regurgitated.  This causes the fish to stop eating.  It has been found that the fish fish lose weight and become unhealthy when this happens.  My suggestion is gummy treats for those fishermen who like to fish with these soft plastic lures.  The treats come in a variety of shapes and colors, from lizards and worms to fish shaped.  I believe that they can provide enough enticing movement to attract fish, and have the added benefit that if the fish are not biting, they are one of the few baits that fisherman would want to snack on!  It…
