1.5 million dollar recycle recycle.
About 1500 tons of waste is in process to of being burnt in Burnaby at this writing. The waste is being returned to Canada from the Philippines after being rejected as recyclable. Its seems out of sight is no longer out of mind. The million and a half could surely been spent more wisely.

In a world of disasters natural and man made it is hard to envision a carefree childhood. Some one in our culture came up with free universal education to grade 12; real help against the necessity of work. Employment standards free trade agreements World trade organizations have all helped. I would be good for some to see today as a remembrance day instead of a day to look, that will probably never be.

June 4th national cheese day.
Cheese is a staple commodity in the world. Cow milk production alone is over 500 million metric tons annually. Cheese is made from milk from a number of sources including goats, Lamas, Yaks and many other. However most non artisan cheese comes form dairy cows milk.
Artisan Cheese making at home.
Many cultural and traditional functions are observed at home and made better by food including cheese.
Since cheese-making is a process that predates the written word, nobody really knows exactly when cheese was invented. While historians believe that humans began domesticating milk producing about 10,000 years ago, all that’s really known about early cheese-making is that cheese was made in Egypt and Greece for thousands of years. Some historians believe that cheese-making may have been discovered accidentally when sheep herders stored milk in the stomach of an animal. This would have caused the enzyme found in the stomach of ruminant animals to coagulate the milk. The milk would have then separated into curds and whey. However, this is currently only a theory.
