This is such a biased "Poll" it does not really deserve any answer.

There are SOME recycled goods that do the job well.

Old newspapers can be shredded and blown in for insulation (re. episode "Dirty Jobs").

Recycled copier paper is 2-3 times more expensive and not as "bright" as new. If you JUST want a printed copy this MAY be fine. For presentations representing a corporation or business most likely not.

"Press board" furniture (using the wood chips from lumber milling) has been around for a while. SOME of it does not look too bad. NONE of it is "heirloom" quality.

I buy "recycled" batteries (call blems or blemishes) at the Interstate Battery Dealer. Those cost $35 for $100 batteries. GOOD recycling. (They will test your battery AND help install it).

what a loaded question, just what I expect from the liberal media

With this idea IF is the question. If there is no IF in the question, then often you will find IF in the answer. The result is certainly flawed.

Got to agree with most people, we are all very tired of poll questions asked in a way to get a secondary answer over what the question should read, which is would you use recyc materials.

It is all based on the cost. If overall cost of recycled materisl is favorable, then it is prefferable to use it.

Is it good for Exxon and other corporations? If not then will it get marketed well enough and implemented in time to prevent human beings from becoming extinct?

Hey, You don't have to think for yourself, just watch Fox News, they have ALL the answers.

This is global-corporation distraction propaganda - putting the care and concern of the environment on the average person, while they consume vast quantities of the globe's natural resources and energy.

Oh, and a bit about that algae "bio-fuel". It seems like they are pumping alot of investors' and OUR tax money, into fermentation of another fast-growing plant material, to make alcohol - Yep. moonshine. Then they're going to mix it with gasoline and offer another ethanol-type product, but fuel prices are too low, at present, for it to be profitable or mass produced....

Alge biofuel will be outshined by companies that make gasoline out of the CO2 waste from coal powered electricity gererating plants. Companies like Carbon Sciences,(Ticker Symbol CABN) who say they have already got a cost effective way (competitive with the price of oil) to make gasoline from these waste products. They say they can make about 1.3 billion gallons of gas from the CO2 waste coming from these plants. CO2 which is now polluting our atmosphere. Makes gas out of polluting waste products, cleans the enviroment up, and saves our country from sending billions of dollars to OPEC countries. Sounds good to me.

All they need is several billion in capitol to biuld tanks, yes giant tanks to grow algae in. Then in a year or two the oil companies who are going to buy this algae by-product, but don't want to put out all the capital for the initial investment, will drop the price and k-boom the intial investors will go broke. Then the big oil companies will come in and by the algae tank farms for 5 cents on the dollar. Why so cheap? What else are you going to do with millions of gallons of tanks in the desert? Only a stupid algae lover would biuld! If its so great they would do it without the real idiots of the world. After ten years MIT dropped their algae project! Only the eastern europeans listen to Al Gore. What a dried up terd. Even Tipper knows that! Grow up people, how many of you have invested in a green project? Stick yor money where your mouth is STUPID!

I use as much recycled stuff that I possibly can; dumpster diving is a good living. I line my garage floor with used carpet that i clean with my scrounged power washer. I buy or scrounge every stick of scrap (crappy) lumber that I can get my hands on. I prune my trees and make firewood out of it. I keep all my aluminum in crushe form till the price goes up. Every time I see a dead battery somewher, I turn it in at the rate of $7.00 ea. It is a very good habit to get into because in the not so far future, you'll need to!
