<<I lived in Cody, Wyoming, USA where a sheet rock factory was producing large
quantities of the stuff. Horrible! At certain points of the process, the air
quality in the region became almost unbreathable - and I do not have any
known lung condition. And you should see the open pit mines that the gypsum
comes from. Yuk. Additionally, the product is very dense and therefore
places an inordinate pressure on the global transportation network. Please
use something else.>>
I don't see where salvaging gypsum board from the dump increases the
motivation to mine and manufacture. Once the damage is done, it makes sense
to get whatever value there is from it. It is like throwing food in the
dump because it wasn't grown organically.
