One way to combat our environmental problems is by attacking waste. The waste issue is largely looked over. Yes, America's heavy consumption of cheap-everything doesn't help, but reusing is an important, if not overlooked, part of the 3 Rs.
One company in California (always in California) called Biolumber uses plastics which would otherwise have been headed to a landfill to produce a product that is 4x as strong as lumber and can be used in place of lumber. Essentially, it's a win-win, and I loooove win-wins. Here's why: it reduces the amount of material we're sending to landfills while simultaneously saving us from needing to cut down additional forests. A very cool concept which addresses a critical need. Hopefully other companies (especially larger ones) will start tackling our dirty trash problem.
Thumbs up to BioLumber from this eco-freak.
Tree bombs.
