It is what we do as people, we bounce back. The sooner we are able to do it, the more quickly we can get back on track emotionally and mentally. Sometimes it takes longer, depending on how deeply the pain goes, but, eventually you have time to sort things through and get a grip on yourself.
We have been riding a roller coaster with this recycling program for the past year, trying to come up with a plan that is doable for both the consumer and those providing the program. If you have been following along, you have noticed how many times we have needed to change direction due to one reason or another. From baling to not baling back to baling again. Will it work or won't it work.
The bottom line has always been, can we accomplish the goal of removing the plastic from the environment without costing money for the operation? It has been a constant opening doors and slamming them shut again for months now. It has been important that we focus on finding a workable solution that we can nail down with solid commitments before going into the next phase of promoting the program to the public. After all, it is obvious your credibility is lost if you can't give a definitive explanation about how this all works without vacillating from one story one day and another the next.
It takes a lot of time, energy and focus without distractions from diversions to get the job accomplished. The hardest part, when you are trying to work out a solution, is having distractions from those who have their own agendas. I'm a one focus at a time person. Let me get this job sewn up then I can move on to the next challenge. It must have something to do with physics that if you spread out energy too thinly, it loses its effectiveness.
Anyway, if you want to know the latest, and hopefully, the final solution we have come up with for the project tune in tomorrow and I will let you know. Hopefully and optimistically we are coming to the end of our roller coaster ride soon. And what a ride it has been!
