I'd like to see the data on glass recycling - no question that it's heavier and more fragile, but certainly teas and Coca-Cola taste better when bottled in glass. I use glass to brew sun-tea, never plastic. And while beneficial medical use of plastics abound, certain instruments just ought to be...um, sturdier than the plastic ones I've had *break* as I've done a GYN exam... (the patients are NOT amused!). Metal can be autoclaved to destroy all pathogens (hmm, except possibly prions? But then, specula aren't used near the female brain anyway... ;} ). I freeze foods in plastic, but store them in glass in the refrigerator. I prefer glass for microwaving as well, and for drinking and eating from too.
