Re: building a campfire - sometimes it's just not right
Backcountry Forum
"In the latest issue of one of the Outdoor Industry Association's magazines, there is an interesting article on environmental impact of the whole industry. They show a flow chart for a particular product we would think has hardly any impact. The steps in producing and end use plus ultimate disposal have an impact far larger than one might think before looking at the whole picture."
Bill that's an intersting concept - life cycle impact of an item, whether or not outdoor related. I would like to see more of these sorts of studies done on consumer products as well, netted against cost/benefits of recycling, etc... Probably a hard number to come up with. Kudos to Patagonia for recycling used capilene.
