Eco Tech: Fuel from recycled bras - Women have a cause to 'support'
Eco Factor: Old bras to be turned into solid fuel.

Presently the world is looking for all possible sources of fuel that can be used to power our urban lifestyles. While some researchers and manufacturers have laid their bets on renewable sources such as sun and wind for power, there are others who believe that there are many things, including bras, that could be used to generate fuel.

Japanese undergarment manufacturer Wacol has started a new eco-campaign wherein the company distributes bags at their retail stores for customers to bring in unwanted bras. The company has received about 350 bags with over 35,900 old bras. The 3.59 tons of waste collected through the campaign is being processed and recycled into solid fuel.

The campaign came into existence after the company’s survey resulted in the fact that 61% of women hesitate in throwing away old bras and only half of them say that they don’t want others to see their discarded undergarments. The new recycling campaign takes care of the anonymity factor, and is thereby encouraging women to contribute for the cause of fuel crisis.

Now this is an eco-friendly program that I would SUPPORT, cross my heart. :)

I see some ballooning problems with this proposal.

Those run in inverse proportion to the Fried Egg Syndrome, which is very much a flat affair.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.
