| Message | You mean like what? Let's see: *Steel - Iron comes from a bigass hole in the ground, the refinement of which uses a lot of energy. *Glass - Silica (otherwise known as sand) comes from a bigass hole in the ground, the refinement of which uses a lot of energy. *Concrete - comes from a bigass hole in the ground and is butt ugly. *Plastic - The complex polymers that form things like polyethylene, etc (otherwise known as crudeoil) comes from a bigass hole in the ground, the refinement of which uses a lot of energy. Not sure what else there is. I do hope you will think through your response a little more thoroughly next time. |
