well, actually, plastic is better for the environment than wood, so it is a hybrid in the sense of "going green"

We went from describing the joys of hunting to an argument over whether wood or plastic is better for the environment through recycling. Welcome to the Internet!

not really, wood is natural and plastic is extremely horrible to the environment so it is the exact opposite
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
well, you can recycle plastic.
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
yes, but what I was refering to was the fact that it doesnt decompose
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
...But plastic can recycle. It doesn't have to decompose. Wood can't recycle. It can only decompose.

Why would you need to recycle wood? It's far better for the environment to make compost out of it to help make more wood.

I know that
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
So why do you disagree?
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying, I was just saying in my original comment that, if you dont recycle it (which unfortunately lots of people dont do), plastic is horrible to the environment because it doesnt decompose

oh, alright. yes, people need to recycle more.

its a sad fact
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
...yes. yes it is.
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
Yes, but wood is organic and will decompose and make good compost.

They both have pros and cons
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
