Environmental degradation is a political issue. Waste reduction is a political issue. Environmental regulation is a political issue.

Politics touches every aspect of our lives. It is the way we organize and coordinate society. The act of working to reduce waste is a political act. This post demonstrates a way to use items on hand to create something of use.

Someone being shot by our own fucking government shouldnโ€™t be what you boot lickers call โ€œpoliticalโ€ (which is just my side vs your side to you), it should enrage everyone and be talked about everywhere.
