Day Twelve

The diagram in this picture looks strangely like the kind of thing I would have drawn to illustrate an utterly worthless point during a presentation to a room full of people half asleep when I worked in advertising – this one actually tells you something.

This is insulation from Idaho Blue, made from recycled denim, borate ( second photo - a chemically inactive, naturally found salt that inhibits the growth of mold, fungi, bacteria and mildew) and a binder.

It’s from natural recycled materials, has none of those nasty man-made fibers that irritate us and are appalling to the environment, and it has the LEED qualification – even though a programme about LEED that was on NPR this evening when I was driving home included some scientists who disputed how rigorous LEED are in awarding their symbol to manufacturers. Nothing but nothing is undisputed in the new world.
