The only problem is the process of recycling most of these materials uses more energy and other resources than is saved. While I would love recycling to be efficient (and with better technology some types can become that way) for now almost all forms of recycling are actually more detrimental to the environment than pillaging areas for new sources of materials. - -- Jayce^ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFEbjC1A10/0O8cAHgRAiCtAJ0angxWZGX1p7aJtKf/gWa2wKc8HwCgsZ1Q wEwBnDdIXsMHShOEFmZ5FaQ= =xe2d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
