Re: Why I Don't Use Cellulose or Blue-Jean Insulation

Folks _should_ think about displacing food. While the particular varieties used for fuel and crops are not all yanked from the mouths of hungry people... The farmer makes a choice as to which variety to grow (edible vs industrial) and where to sell it and this choice is driven by demand and that shows up as a market price (more or less). I don't have an answer, sorry to say, but it is not as simple as "it is from a plant so it is green."

Ditto for using "waste" fibers. They are not really waste most of the time. They have a market and distributors and prices etc. Not really what we should be calling waste.
