Waste of a Valuable Natural Resource

greenspun.com : LUSENET : FRL friends : One Thread

Every year in this country we waste I'm sure millions of tons of a natural resource that could be put to good use - dried fallen leaves.

These could be used, for starters, to fill pillows and comforters, and more important, as insulating material. Especially leaves from maple trees. I have crumbled dried maple leaves in my hand, and if that isn't prime insulating material then I'm a Dutchman.

I think there should be a government program to utilize this resource, including price supports.
