His dictionary count is a bit off.

If you included medical/science terms it's over a million for the count in English. But current usage has us at 250k, not counting derivatives and historical words. If you include the full lexicon it's somewhere above 750k.

No doubt there are hordes of people putting on tin hats and going under ground over this. Personally, I find it a bit foolish to follow a prophetic calendar from a group of people unable to see the Spanish coming right around the corner with their bibles and swords drawn.

@maus

It's a pity the Coleman Young years of Devil's night fires has been forgot. I'd always expected the city to be burned to the ground. Too bad only council member's parcels got torched entirely. We can still hope though.

Cheers @tinyflowers. I did not read it. The summery turned me off immediately. It appeared to be just another bit of hypocritical spin. I've read a great many stories like that lately since this is all the rage (green and hip) and found most to be very much riddled with hypocrisy.

thanks for the heads up.

Not possible to be 100% without plastic in today's world. Did they strip the coating off their copper wires in the home and replace it with varnish and paper with a cloth sleeve?

Unless they buy food from the grower there is plastic involved somewhere. Even bulk stores have it arrive in plastic and then display it in plastic as well.

Do they own ANY communication equipment?

Weather seals around the doors and windows? Plumbing? Shoes? Vehicles? The list is endless.

They can reduce it, but I sincerely doubt the built that house, smelted the metals in it, grow every gram of food they consume (directly or indirectly) and make all their own clothes from head to toe (growing, weaving, tanning, etc).

I tried this once and it took about a month to realize that if you just go a layer deeper than the pretentious outer one that you can show and brag about you're never going to stop the production of plastic. Reduce, limit, recycle, yes, by all means. Eliminate it? Not in this century.

It looks as though they are not, in fact, rotated on a central access. But they are rotated from the farthest most left point of the 2D letter.
