It has long been predicted by the World's scientific community, and indeed to my own knowledge from 1961 when I graduated that there would come a time when the planetary resources would become depleted, waste arisings and pollution of the land, air and water would seriously affect the environment we live in and at the same time human numbers due to population growth would become unsustainable.

Recycling begins with the conversion of mass into energy by two possible processes, evaporation of smaller Black Holes when ...
