If you've been watching Planet Green, I'm sure you've seen all the green homes going up and putting in recycled glass countertops. Over at aboutglasstile.com, I found this example of Terrazzo glass tile by Icestone, made of75% recycled glass, mixed with cementUnfortunately, I'm far from getting my green home, but I think it is great to see where things are headed. I heard that for
every ton of glass recycled saves the equivalent of nine gallons of fuel oil needed to make glass from virgin materials.That's huge. So if you can't find a way to re-use your glass products, be sure to recycle that glass people.
I know my curbside recycling doesn't pick up glass but I take it to the drop off center. You can call 1-800-CLEANUP to get recycling information for your state.

It's weird how one region picks up glass curbsite and others don't. Recently, our city expanded our recycling to include junk mail. I shred our stuff before I put it out. Can't be too careful with identity theft.
