Sounds good - but it seems awful small scale - it would need to be
much bigger to be truly effective in handling and the economy of scale
might not be cost efficient.

I'm not sure, but seeing this is new stuff, there may be plans for
larger and many. I dont' think this is the only plant being built.

Well, she's not a bad looker. But what really got me is that the
engineering firm that employs my son is working on the project. He's
the tall skinny kid in plaid with the hard hat.

Is your son the tall skinny kid? Hell, I may go back and look at it
again.- Hide quoted text -

Yep. He's talking with another engineer as well as one of the main
investors in the project

Well damn, why didn't you tell us that right up front? Now I'll have
to go watch the whole video again.

Oh well, Amanda's worth every minute!

OK, I spotted him. What does he do for the company besides take
leading roles in their videos?

Ft Myers is burning their trash for electricity. I think that is an
excellent use. It is certainly a reliable fuel source.
I think they should be burning the paper and plastic "recycle" too.
Nobody has even convinced me trucking this stuff 500-1500 miles was
good for the environment or economically viable.
My neighbor, VP of Raymond Lumber, thought it might be a valuable
marketing tool to be able to say those recycled bottles you throw in
the blue tubs come back as the Trex he sells and add some gee whiz
info about the process.. In that little quest for knowledge he found
out we were trucking the plastic to a plant in New York.
The paper was being processed in Georgia.

I think the sale of water in plastic bottles should be outlawed. If
water must be sold, it should be done in glass and returned for a
deposit.

a "leading role" In the video? I was thinking he actually had only a

We now have a bottle law in CT for ALL drinks served in cans, bottles
and plastic bottles.

I can't move out of this freakin' state fast enough to suit me.

I hope the fort is doing better than military bases usually do in
pollution control.

This fort has not been a military base since the war of northern
aggression.
Hey it is (Robert E) Lee County. ;-)

The waste to energy incinerator has been blessed by the
environmentalists as being as clean as the new gas powered plant.
(both a whole lot better than the bunker oil plant they displaced.)
The trash plant doesn't even contribute to the thermal water pollution
that makes the Caloosahatchee River a manatee hangout.

Speaking of recycling, the new "Dirty Jobs" episode (last week's) had
an interesting one on mattress recycling.

Among the interesting facts - almost all of the mattress and/or box
springs are 100% recyled into other stuff including the fabric.

Best fact of all - the overall weight of a mattress increases by about
10% over the years with the addition of such things as dead skin
cells, residue from various fluids and atmospheric dust.

Why not just burn them in the waste to energy plant?

Why? I have rain gear made from recycled plastic bottles - soft,
pliable, wears like iron, easy to clean.

I also have a pair of sandals, first pair I've ever owned, that are
75% recycled plastic bottles. Same deal.

There's a lot you can do with recycled plastics.

Do you know how much energy it takes to ship glass?

Dunno - but I'll be it's about the same as it is to make new glass.

There is also the hazard broken glass poses in the whole retail to
recycle chain.

Huh?

We got away from glass bottles for a reason.

True enough I suppose, but glass is 100% recyclable.

Side note: Why does the word recyclable look misspelled? :)

I just know you want to hear this. ;-) It's not only mattresses, but 75%
of household dust, is dead skin cells.
