Aside:
I saw in a publication
aimed at the printing industry, that at this confrence they created special hotel room keycards out of wood, to tie
in with "going green."
Turns out these special wood keys were anything but "green" according to this article.
The felled a near perfect tree, not a more "common" one, selected (only) the finest "clear" wood sections to make
the keys, and it turns out these keys are not reusable nor are they considered recycleable. Aluminum or even steel
would have been a better, "greener" value. And they could have been made from already recycled materials, not new
vigin (wood) material.
<sigh>
Politicians. Corporate thought.
Phooey.
