I use styrofoam and plastic, which I burn promptly after using them.

The immortal words of Denis Leary:

I'm gonna get me a 1957 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, hot pink, with whaleskin hubcaps, an all-leather cow interior, and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights, yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles per hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, sucking down Quarter Pounder cheesburgers from McDonalds in the old non-biodegradable styrofoam containers! And when I'm done sucking down those greasball burgers, I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag, and them I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side, and there's not a G$#&-damn thing anybody can do about it, and you know why? Because we've got the bombs, that's why! Two words: nuclear F-ing weapons!

HAHAHAHAHA!!! And to think that some people acually do that. Or come close at least.

Chloroflourocarbons, or CFCs for short. The name comes from the combination of Chlorine, Flourine, and Carbon in the molecular structure. Supposedly CFCs destroy the ozone layer, and so they've been restricted. 20 years or so back, CFCs were used as the propellant gas in pressurized spray cans for things like cleaners, hair spray, and paint. R-12 refrigerant is a CFC also, which is why it's been restricted in some countries. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

First off: BAM!


Second, lol at the Dennis Leary quote. However, who is Dennis Leary? I think it's a certain person, but I'm not sure. I'll just get out the google.

Well erm, easy call. Recycleble (sp?) plastics. Paper means cutting down trees. Although it's more "natural", it means destruction of our source of air. Plastics can be reused easily and it's a superfast process to make, in stead of cutting down trees, sizing them, sizing them more, etc...

Plastics is just melting of plastic spheres and forming them into a shape. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yes but you know it takes alot of chemicals to make plastic bags. The process of making plastic bags also emits alot of chemicals into the atmosphere. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>True, but it doesn't require chopping down the forest, that still is left. There are ways to clean out those toxic gases and make the process clean.

Plastic isn't that hard to make either. It's mostly polymers.

Who is Denis Leary? You're kidding, right?

Denis Leary is the man. 'Nuff said.

I get plastic and use to clean my cat's liter box each day.
