[Ray Cirino <cobanation@yahoo.com>]

Thank you for this super hot info. I've been using rubber from the tree to 
fix my cut and worn out extension cords. Here in LA there are many rubber 
trees and morning glory growing mostly on the west side of town.I feel like 
making sandles. I teach at Garfield High a Green Archesture Design Academy 
class and I think I'm going to have them make a soccer ball and have third 
period play sixth.
Regards,
Ray

The Great Challenges we now face as a species present the very opportunities 
that are giving birth to Ecological, Psychological, and Spiritual 
Sustainability.
