The LOUC is the same as the bogeyman behind the tree, the glowing  
green frogs, etc.  LOUC is proportional to the Hubris Factor.   
Anyway, a mountain full of Nook waste is a far less of a problem to  
deal with than Global Warming.  See ...... on the one hand, there is  
hand wringing about Global Warming ( which I have severe reservations  
about ) and the same people who wring their hands and say it is going  
to wipe us out ,offer such limp wristed solutions such as collecting  
plastic at the curb, or let's use wind power ( big wind farms ----->  
LOUC ---> you ain't seen nothing yet ) or solar.  I have nothing  
against solar, it is a technology that perhaps will solve everything  
in the future.  Right now It is not ready for prime time.  If humans  
really cause GW and if it is really happening, then first, " let's  
kill all the people."  [Henry VI]             ::-]    ( i wear glasses )
