He would collect all the newspapers from the tenants instead of burning them in the incinerator with the trash. He would bundle them up and then sell them to the junkman who came around to collect stuff. Who inturn sold them again to be bleached and reused. I guess we did recycle and never knew it. Some how we knew that the ink was no good in the air but we didnt know about pollution.Jim Antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230630688158168214noreply@blogger.com
