If you want people to be so ecologically friendly, then why make it so unafordable to be... another great example hybrid cars. It seems you must be a millionare to save the world because most low, middle and even upper-middle class can't afford to be so ecologically friendly, which is where the classificaion of most major populations are. I know I for one couldn't afford anything eco-friendly... but I do try my hardest with what I can do!

Cheers to you for speaking out about this. I wish it all wasn't so expense too. All these big companies need to get on board and maybe alot of them are and change just comes slowly.
I love the banana products though and it's so cool to not only see but be able to buy things. The more we help each other the more all this becomes a reality. I'm all for small business and in this day and age, a small business can market world wide with a simple website. On the other end of the scope it lets a consumer like me buy cool stuff that's earth friendly for gifts. Nope I sure can't use banana paper for all my paper needs but I can buy it as a gift instead of something else from a retail chain store that I have to drive to. Living out in the country it's cheaper to pay shipping often times than to drive to town and back for us with gas prices the way they are.
I just can't wait for my yard to have lots of banana plants all over!!
