You may be right Casey. And I have similar doubts about the "environmentally friendly" bit myself. Plastics versus precious metals, what's environmentally friendly about any of it? I am just saying, "We do not really know at this point".

I ride a motor scooter. Before I purchased it I did all the due diligence I could about various manufacturers. I bought a Kymco bike made in Taiwan. And it has been a good bike so far. The marketing blurbs on the bike are laughable. It is as though the Kymco Marketing Department used a "desirable qualities" phrase generator to write the English brouchures. It could be that Guo contracts out to the same marketing outfit.

Given the choice for petroleum use, making plastic seems better than burning it. Of course with the bio-plastics one has to ask how much fossil fuel was used to plant, fertilize, and process the crop to make an oil suitable for plastics.

:) And I can just hear the turbines spinning to creating all the eletricity it took to amplify their singing...and for us to sit at our computers debating environmental issues. It's hard... it's just hard. Isn't it?

celebrate the irony :twisted:
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

More and more, as I grow older, I don't listen to the radio or very much recorded music. I entertain myself by humming, singing softly, or whistling, oftentimes tunes of my own invention I am reminded of this tune from "Camelot", "What do the Simple Folk Do?"
