And for the naysayers who talk about the polluting that paper mills create, the level of polluting output has decreased significantly in the last few years to a very minimal level. The recycling process creates more pollutive byproduct than the processing of virgin materials.

Paper products are our friend, not the enemy!

Really??? :eek:

I didn't know they had tree farms for paper products! I knew logging was controlled, and trees replanted to keep up the forests, but not a real tree farm? That's cool! And I could see how recycling could cause more pollution, they use a lot of chemicals to reprossess the paper, where making the paper uses very little. And paper is biodegradeable (except in landfills it can take hundreds of years due to the lack of water, air, and microbes- but it will break down eventually. Plastic takes thousands of years).

KB's right. A lot timber products are from farms these days, many of which are located in Wa, Oregon and Idaho.

Some general comments on current avatars:

Smoking is bad for you.

So was that guy

Be you the frog or be you the mouse?

Nice colors but what in the hell is that?

Cute critters should not be given weapons, hunting is supposed to be easy.

I'm lost and I can't follow the arrows. They get me nowhere.

You're out of focus.

I like the mouse, are you a bad person?

Ahhh a warm fire on a cold day.

I confess, I'm wearing suspenders too.

No. You have in fact not lost your pants. They are down around your ankles.
Bend over and have a look.

Moonliner, your avatar reminded me of a question I was asked by Nickolas last week. He saw the Moonliner for the first time. I was bombarded with questions about it and why did they redo TL and take it down... He is such a little Geek in the making!

I mean, right???

I know that. But you might want to let the President know that ;)

Just a wee bit sad at the moment. Okay, maybe more than a wee. Who would have figured I'd be sad to leave Utah?

(Not me, exactly, and definitely not BTD)

I had the FUNKIEST dreams lat night/this morning. I have a dream hangover.

Portion of dream:

I had a makeover and was told to straighten my hair.
My Mom left me at the mall and I had to walk home from Anaheim.
I had to do a timecard before I could leave the mall
I found my old car in the parking lot and drove it home
I picked up McDonalds on the way home
My Mom met met at home and brought me dinner but I was still mad at her and told her I was DONE with her BS
My Dad left me an American Express card to pay for my makeover
