IamBlair replied to IamBlair's discussion 'Corn plastic?'

Agreed. I think hemp products have been around for a long time but never really caught on as a popular thing mostly because of the drug associations most people make... Then again, I think usually these sorts of things take a long time to catch on...

It's along the same lines of thinking, "Hey is what we're doing working and if not let's try something different like this".

IamBlair replied to IamBlair's discussion 'Corn plastic?'

Yeah, I don't know too much about hemp, but I had a shirt from the Vancouver Aquarium that was made of hemp. It was blue. *shrug* It was a shirt like any other, really. Then again, I don't know much about corn plastic. I just thought it was nifty.

IamBlair replied to IamBlair's discussion 'Corn plastic?'

LOL. I agree, people probably shouldn't starve because of plastic. But I'd hope that removing corn syrup or corn puffed cereals from someone's diet isn't enough to make them starve. Also keep in mind that there's no chance that ALL CORN would so...

In San Luis Obispo, CA (ironically right across the stree from the mission there) is a store called the Hemp Shack. They had a hemp skateboard. And a little display about how awesome, strong, and durable hemp is as a building material too.

I've heard of corn plastic, we had a big presentation on it at our school a few years ago. I live in an 'ethanol' state so there is a lot of encouragement regarding corn based products. I'd agree with your stance on "it's their land, we can't tell...

Samantha Garrett replied to IamBlair's discussion 'Corn plastic?'

I agree totally. If people have to starve because of this plastic that is so much better for the environment then it's not worth it.

IamBlair replied to IamBlair's discussion 'Corn plastic?'

Well, not according to their website (hooray propoganda). http://cornmug.com/corn-university.html "Did you know that PLA Plastic is one of the only plastic products with net zero emissions? This means that the carbon gasses they emit while decompo...

that was my first thought too.

BSmith replied to IamBlair's discussion 'Corn plastic?'

I'm betting that corn plastic is just as bad for the environment (in terms of lifecycle CO2) as corn based ethanol. Corn is really an unethical base stock for hydrocarbons because of the land use and food supply impacts that result.

Corn plastic?

Hey guys - have any of you heard of this? I hadn't until today, when I read on the internal staff website for the insurance company that I work for that they're now selling corn mugs with our logo on them (for staff, not to customers, that's weird...

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

Youtubing

About Me:

Hey-oh. I'm a Canadian Libra with a big yen for tolerance and a happy life. Being healthy, being friendly, being a force of good in the world... those are some goals of mine. I like nerdy things like anime, books, puzzles, games, art, music, tv shows, webcomics, and youtube. I aspire to be a librarian.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more

The Dollmage (Martine Leavitt), Jitterbug Perfume (Tom Robbins), The Madman (Khalil Gibran), just off the top of my head... I don't play a lot of favorites, though.

What's your favorite thing to put on your head?

My hot pink fedora

If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?

Neil Wagstaff

When did you start watching B20

On a Saturday??

Hey, so, first blog but I'm jumping right in. I am at work right now. I am working today. Which is contributing to fun-suck, but I suppose decreasing "we are so behind OMG"-suck. Of which I had mostly been spared for 2 weeks.

Last week (the one before Easter) I worked Monday, went home sick Tuesday, went to the hospital Tuesday night, didn't to work Wednesday, worked Thursday, had Friday off as a Stat.

Then this week, I had Monday off (no stat pay, just no work) and was offered work on Saturda… Continue

I'm SO relieved to have my 'foot-in-the-door' as my mother would say, so It's only going to get easier from here on in, I'm sure. How has your summer been?...

At 8:04am on June 19, 2009, Evelyne said…: It is SO important to have your priorities straight at a young age, TRUST me. As I am staring 30 in the face I realise that there where SO many opportunities that I had in my 20's that I didn't take due to my own stubborn nature. When I had the financial backing of my parents, who were tormenting me to do my masters, I was like "It's my life, not yours, and if I choose to spend it in the work force, and 'experience life' that's my prerogative, etc.." Now that opportunity is gone, I'm very poor with little savings, and struggling to put myself through school while working. Hindsight is SO 20/20...:)
But then, I feel a certain measure of pride having accomplished it on my own, rather than with my father's help, whom I didn't always see eye-to-eye with regarding his personal beliefs.
Anyway, I'm actually JUST starting my co-op placement at the University of Guelph Library (First day on Tuesday!!! EEEEPP!)

At 11:39am on April 26, 2009, Evelyne said…: Hi!
You asked me about what school I am at: The program I am taking is offered through Conestoga College, but most of it is distance education. I do most of my courses on line, which is perfect because I HAVE to work during the day, I don't have and financial help with school, bills, etc.

I mean, I'll definitely, have to confirm with my parents about the snail mail thing (thy know I'm a nerdfighter, but they're very careful about the internet and security)

But great!

I've got no idea how to send a message as I'm totally new to nings in general, but I saw your post on the penpals thing and wondered if you'd like to be my penpal? I also LOVE Buffy, Nintendo and I'm big on natural healing and the whole hippy vibe :) I've got a post on the Penpals thing on the page before yours if you want to have a look :)
DFTBA!
