What about when you go to a coffee shop and you get a cup and its already a biodegradable cup. Are you still want to be charged for biodegradable replacement cup . A lot of that stuff we are have ordinances in place. This is my concern. You know, styrofoam is banned in this town. The stuff you are getting already is biodegradable. Im trying to figure out what i am missing here. Right. I think some of this, and i think anybody in the coalition of advocates who are supporting the transition to reusables, even from compostables right now, will admit, you know, i think it was a little bit shortsighted to think because it is compostable means it is being composted. In fact, a lot of this waste, same with recyclables, is not. We want to diverted from landfill. Unfortunately, even if single use items are technically compostable or recyclable, a lot of them are

Storms are most likely and where they will not be hitting. Right now, lets get a check of the first alert traffic on this monday morning. Jessica . Bill, what were watching right now is skyforce 10 over top of a scene on the blue route on the northbound side where you can see theyre allowing one lane of traffic to move through the area as they have it allc blocked off with an overturned dump truck in the area. That one lane scooting by, really pushed over into the shoulder. We have a huge backup behind that scene as well. As we head on over to my maps, i can show you how to get around. Reports from skyforce 10 is that its about a mile backup behind that scene. Were at 47 minutes, which is normally about a 10minute trip from 95 to the schuylkill expressway. Average speeds 20 miles an hour. In broomall, your best bet so far for the morning is to take 252. That runs parallel to that scene. That will be your best bet. Youll be stuck in a half hour delay, at least so far for this morning.
