How old are you? I apologize if you are too young to understand what is really going on in the world. You should do a little more research before you judge one effort to go green based on other countries poverty. It has to start somewhere, and everything counts. Corn-derived bio-plastic is just one of many different bioplastics used, and believe it or not, bioplastics are all around you. In fact, I guarentee you own a few things made up of organic plastics. Bioplastics have shown to reduce carbon footprint by 42%. Our enviroment is in trouble if we don't make changes. I'm not a spokes-person for tree-huggers, but being a marine wife, I am aware of the many different problems in our world, and that happens to be one you should be aware of as well. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Erika]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 3:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's Eco-Friendly 'Reclaim' Phone Is Made of Corn]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/samsungs-eco-friendly-reclaim-phone-is-made-of-corn/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/samsungs-eco-friendly-reclaim-phone-is-made-of-corn/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is it 'eco-friendly' or is it made from corn? Mutually exclusive. Subsidized corn production, heavily dependent on fossil fuels, is far from 'eco-friendly'. It also drains our economy when we send corn (either as grain or made into phones) to other countries at less than the cost of production. That is what subsidies do.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan Paris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 2:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's Eco-Friendly 'Reclaim' Phone Is Made of Corn]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/samsungs-eco-friendly-reclaim-phone-is-made-of-corn/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/samsungs-eco-friendly-reclaim-phone-is-made-of-corn/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good question Dan. I think it IS made from plastic DERIVED from corn, but not exclusively a corn product (a bit of a joke in the post's title). Other choices, like biodegradable materials and recyclable casing is what makes this phone eco friendly.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leila Brillson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 2:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's Eco-Friendly 'Reclaim' Phone Is Made of Corn]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/samsungs-eco-friendly-reclaim-phone-is-made-of-corn/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/samsungs-eco-friendly-reclaim-phone-is-made-of-corn/</guid><description><![CDATA[You need to think before you talk, clearly from your comment.
