Australia has plastic money. Nobody told me this. I'm afraid.

Also, Tori is following me around.

How is it bad for the environment? You're not going to throw out your money, are you? It doesn't need to decompose. You keep it around in your wallet. And it doesn't tear. Because it's plastic!

Making it is bad for the environment, recycling it is bad for the environment - the same money isn't going to be in circulation forever, is it?

They recycle the money once they're done with it, and it gets made into things like compost bins, rubbish bins, plumbing fittings, you name it. I don't see how recycling it could be bad for the environment...

It's the manufacturing of the new articles. The melting down of plastics releases chemicals into the environment that contribute to the greenhouse effect.

They recycle the waste from producing the notes, as well. Make that into other plastic things, too. Found here.

Now I'm going to work. To handle lots and lots of plastic money. Bwah!

Only you, dear, can make me groan, laugh, and grimace, all at once.

She wasn't talking about the solid waste products.

And your icon is just. *shudders*
