the gist of it…

My wife is in the sewage treatment profession. She has become somewhat famous for giving speeches at conventions of Engineers and Professionals in the industry which are considered shocking and radical, but entertaining, so they keep asking her back. The gist of her talks comes down to one simple point. It can be summarized as, “There is no away.” As in it is delusional thinking to assume that something undesirable can be thrown away, or something toxic can be taken away, or something unwanted can be removed. Everything remains here on earth and just gets moved around.
