110614_LRThese bottles will be re-cycled … or will they? Rumour has it that a lot of re-cycling goes into landfill; if this is the case, then these bottles will become part of the earth and when the earth has its next major geologic change, our landfill could well end up in western Canada … yep, this is tenuous, even for me, but this was the closest I could get to today’s word, which was “Burgess”: ‘A mudstone formation in the Rocky Mountains of western Canada, containing a wide range of well-preserved invertebrate fossils (including those of soft-bodied animals) from the Cambrian period.’ (OED)

Day #162 of a 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
