  We are being a bit narrow-minded in our definition of "recycle."

  In Nebraska, one of the biggest recyclers of paper is a company called Greenfiber, which makes blow-in insulation out of recycled paper, cardboard, and paper board. Greenfiber doesn't care what color of paper they receive. They will even take glossy magazines and paper-back books!

  For us they are local (which cuts-down on transportation waste) and even pay a small kick-back (based on tonage) to businesses and organizations that will host a recycling dumpster. Above all, they are creating a green building product (and jobs) in a region where the biggest green idea is turning perfectly good grain into ethanol to fuel their huge gas-gulping pickups.
