Too bad we couldn't design cars with recoverable parts. Many perfectly re-usable engines and other major parts go to the furnaces after one use because greed and unchecked annual model changes that enforce this waste make it profitable to do so! My old VW had retro-fittable parts, complete repair ability, and if a Chinese manufacturer is reading this, I would go out and by a car built like my old VW, in a Chevy heartbeat! made in China or not. I no longer can afford the screwing "The Big Three" are giving me.

There is a new plastic that is cheap, strong, biodegradable and recyclable. It is used to make oxo-biodegradable plastic garbage bags and other disposable items. Read about why it is preferable to other disposable alternatives at:

It is truly amazing that such a minor thing such as the packaging products can in fact be such a significant course of action in the protection of the environment. Understanding the cause/effect relationship is the key to understanding sustainability, and hopefully saving the planet. Oh ya, you can save a lot of money too. :)
