I saw a commercial on MSNBC featuring someone I didn't know. He was talking about stacks and stacks of empty connexes (shipping containers). These shipping containers brought goods to America and now pile up because we have nothing to fill them with then send overseas. His final comment was "We're better than this." He was talking about jobs.
I looked at those connexes and saw dozens of frames for homes. Thousands of American soldiers live in those after they have been converted to housing units. I also see tons and tons of steel that can be recycled into construction materials, automotive parts and forks. Instead of letting those containers sit and rust, we need to use them of less than obvious purposes. I bet they would make a great frame for a reef. I bet recycling those containers would great jobs too.
Yeah, America we are better! Let's use our American ingenuity to do what's right.
