HOW COOL IS THAT???<BR/>Fiberglass...yes indeed. A tricky word. It seems that although it is a patented technology (Owens Corning) as old as time,the term "fiberglass" is used loosely.<BR/><BR/>Is your boat Fiber-enforced plastic? Solid fiberglass? I found this interesting video on daily motion:<BR/><BR/>http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xc0vj_fiberglass-boats-how-its-made<BR/><BR/>Plastic resins were mentioned, but I'm still not quite clear on how it's worked into the fiberglass...that material is a wonder though, ain't it?Sunnyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355310290211306101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464218279141411404.post-2459664402167233172009-01-08T17:58:00.000-08:002009-01-08T17:58:00.000-08:00Hey Lady,I really dig what you are up to here.

I was hoping for fiberglass on your plastics countdown considering it's what my boat is made of and the only thing keeping me from certain death, according to my mom.<BR/><BR/>Just taught myself the Plastic Jesus song on the only instrument that fits of a boat, a ukulele. Hope you are well.<BR/><BR/>LeeLee Winters https://www.blogger.com/profile/06593905135176500919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464218279141411404.post-74791611945662713142009-01-04T19:21:00.000-08:002009-01-04T19:21:00.000-08:00Kristi! Funny thing about the holidays--we didn't ...Kristi! Funny thing about the holidays--we didn't do gifts this year. We just had brunch with Nick and then went out to dinner with the fam! The togetherness was our gift and it was great! It didn't come with a receipt of purchase, a plastic bag, or the burden of exchange! : )<BR/>However, I did get my left overs to go and it came in...a...styrofoam container. Bah humbug. <BR/><BR/>We miss y'all...as always.Sunnyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355310290211306101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464218279141411404.post-85762031296776708552009-01-04T19:17:00.000-08:002009-01-04T19:17:00.000-08:00Very interesting article.

I the author's pain...I hope she is able to push that guilty feeling she writes about at the end into more baby steps away from plastic/consumption (and stop drinking Dunkin' or at least drink that monstrosity they market as coffee out of a reusable mug.) They sell them there...or so I've heard. ; )Sunnyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355310290211306101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464218279141411404.post-9849815925130054092008-12-30T13:01:00.000-08:002008-12-30T13:01:00.000-08:00it's funny--i haven't had much time to really dig ...it's funny--i haven't had much time to really dig into all you are putting on this blog, but sometime during christmas i thought of you and how much you might be freaking out by all the packaging you would have to "report" on here! it must have been when we were opening all the plastic-wrapped gifts. everything comes in about 5 layers--even batteries. it's ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>i hope you guys had a very merry christmas! xoxokristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234188242645584572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464218279141411404.post-74857574960524319962008-12-29T09:48:00.000-08:002008-12-29T09:48:00.000-08:00Thoug you'd be interested to see this Chicago Trib...Thoug you'd be interested to see this Chicago Tribune writer's story about his attempts at "A Life Without Plastic":<BR/>http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-plastic-free-satdec27,0,5147886.storybeyesnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603414394014220282noreply@blogger.com
