Marie,
I hear you. They seem to be everywhere. Well, at least they are making
something at least a bit less toxic - and something that people want - hoop
houses. We had been talking about starting a hoop house too this summer,
but now I am thinking I want to use old windows - because of the plastic -my
friend has offered some to me already. I will use all the plastic that I
have until it is no longer useable - as there is no point in throwing it
out - it is on the earth anyway. And there are many things that perhaps I
will not be able to avoid using. But now that I am aiming that way, I am
astounded with all the things that plastic is used for - from packaging to
recycling bins, etc. etc. etc..

Jill
