But compared to plastic from virgin fossil fuels?

We as a society are going to need memory cards.

What do you think they should be made out of?

    If you penny pinch and don’t want to pay the environmental cost, sure plastic might come out cheaper.

    Plastic in a landfill is a lot less harmful than co2 in the atmosphere.
