Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of tires wear out on the road every year yet there aren't piles of powder on the sides of the road. What effect does the tons of dust have on the Earth and on us? Haven't heard much on this. Thanks.

I entered the term "garbage bag" in the archive and didn't get one whit of useful information along the lines of this poor reader's question.  Perhaps some more detailed suggestions on how to mine the archive are in order.

We are planning to replace the nearly 30-year-old double-paned aluminum windows in our home.  The standard replacement seems to be vinyl, but I've taken to heart your pleas to avoid buying the stuff.  Is there an efficient/affordable alternative whose manufacture is more environmentally friendly?
