I have to admit I love polyethylene.  My life depends on it (water tanks, irrigation tubing, water supply pipes, containers, clothing, etc).  Now someone has discovered a way to make it from ethanol, ensuring that at least the rich will be able to enjoy its use after fossil fuels are long gone: http://www.azom.com/News.asp?NewsID=8982
