Problems from Ash Continue

After reading this story here, I find that I have some strong opinions on the subject. I know that volcano’s can be really destructive. I know that ash has covered town and caused issues. But I had no idea that ash could shut down most of a country. I think the amount of ash that appears to be in the air is absolutely astounding. I am having a hard time with the fact that all of the airports are shut down.

I find it equally astounding that they can’t even get basic supplies such as food in to those parts of the country. It is causing an insane amount of havoc. There are people stranded in Europe trying to get home. There are even people stranded in the US trying to get home to Europe. I find it equally disturbing that people are losing their places to stay as they only had their hotels booked for a certain amount of time. I also hear that the care fees advice service phones were flooded, due to the inability to care access from the elderly.

I also wonder what happens to the people that are stuck when they run out of spending money. I know when I go on vacation I only have a certain amount I can spend. If you are stuck in another country for days longer than you intended to be you could run out of money. The sheer amount of ash was also astounding to me. The reports said that it was 5.3 miles high. I cannot imagine the amount of ash it takes to cause a cloud to be 5.3 miles high. I cannot help but wonder what other issues a cloud of that size could cause. The ash is a mixture of sand, glass, and rock particles. I think that it is equally as sad that the ash in the air is going to make it impossible or nearly impossible for some people to attend the Polish funeral. I am also wondering how long it will take for the ash to clear completely.

Not Cursed

Not Cursed

I have had the same phone for five years. I repeat: I have had the same phone for five years. And I don’t even mean I’ve had the same version of mobile phone for the last five years–I do actually mean that the phone I own now is the one and the same phone that I purchased five long years ago. And you know what? I don’t intend on changing my phone any time soon. Why should I? Find yourself cursed with feeling the need to keep up with the latest technology like I really don’t? Then you’ll enjoy the following link.

Thankfully the Enigin people understand my plight. Even though they are tech-heads with brains that never, ever stop working, they also understand the value of keeping things simple and effective. The company, which specializes in energy-saving devices and everything associated with them, knows exactly when technology is needed and how it can be of use to both the individual and the company.

Now back to my stance on the phone debacle…

OK, I can fully understand that having access to the latest technology is a fantastic thing, but here’s the problem with getting a new one every five minutes: that’s more plastic going back in to the environment which has to go somewhere. That may not be a huge problem when it’s only your phone, but what about when it’s a million phones? And that’s precisely what’s happening every day…Something which has the potential to cause massive problems as the years go by and plastic refuses to decompose.
