Is it possible to make paper products from recycled stone? Of course. We have the technology at this point to do all kinds of things never dreamed of before.

We can gather up distributor caps from old Fords and reprocess them into paper, and, while this will “save a tree,” it’s a fabulously stupid idea.

Karst Paper Goods advertises : (Our paper, shown ) is made from recycled stone, completely removing the conventional need for wood in paper manufacturing. No trees, no acids, no water and no waste. (It’s) more durable, more sustainable, and infinitely smoother to write, scribble, doodle or draw on.

Are we concerned that our current paper is too rough or uneven to “write, scribble, doodle or draw on?”

Are we aware that, in the digital age, paper is becoming increasingly less relevant?

There are paths toward sustainability, but this, to be sure, isn’t one.

Next Gen Paper?

If it’s true that David Valadao is moving back in line with Trump (which seems exceptionally unlikely in California), this jackass is in the slim minority. Most congressional Republicans are trying to pretend they’ve never heard of Trump.

The representative’s district is in the rural farming region in Central California, but still, aligning oneself with Trump makes no more sense than cozying up to skin cancer.
