Yeah... I'm sure DuPont is happy that we still love Teflon and are still finding new uses for those forever chemicals. :/ |

For me, it's about trying to be aware of the material contents of things I buy that are most likely to end up in a landfill sooner than later. Didn't mean to come off as being judgmental of you specifically; sorry if it sounded that way. |

Did you happen to see the movie "Dark Waters" ? Yes, I've seen it. I also used to sail at the Quannapowitt Yacht Club near Woburn (MA) every weekend in the early 80's and listened to those living in Woburn complain about their water, mostly about the smell and taste. By the time 'Civil Action' came out, it had been years since I'd been there and I'd forgotten about it. It was such a shock. And we have our own industrial contamination problem here in Ann Arbor that's also been festering since the 80's. In our case, it's Dioxane. It's so easy to take water quality for granted. |

Until I saw that movie I had no idea that DePont was still to this day paying out money for that law suit. Just incredible.

Darn Tough.. are the only socks I've ever worn that don't seem to wear out at toes and heel over several years.
