I think it can go in the scrap metal or steel cans bin. Erika, I don't know, but I will ask at the recycling center. I think it can go in the scrap metal or steel cans bin.

Anyone know? Thanks, Erika so, what about the metal part inside that holds it up? is it recyclable with metal cans and such? Anyone know?

He had our whole Constitution team over for a victory party when we won the local competition. Unfortunately, we lost at states and didn't get to go to DC. I recently checked out a plastic bag McCain sign in Ohio. It was not made by a labor union or asked to be recycled. All it said was "paid for by Ohio Republicans". My plastic bag Obama sign has torn.

You can purchase ones made out of cardboard for $2.50 at http://storebarackobama.com if its really that big of deal. And as for when your done using it, there are tons of ways to re-use plastic bags but I'm not sure you'd find very many ways to re-use a cardboard sign since they come covered front and back.

I have my hemp bag right here, and I can say I have put it to heavy use for 18 months, that's about 500 plastic bags I saved and it hardly has a scratch. It is the same one Laura Sevier of the Ecologist mentioned in her Sept article on hemp. And if I do throw it away, it will not be an eyesore, in fact, it can be recycled into paper -which was what we did with hemp for hundred of years. Cynthia McKinney has one of these bags by the way, she got one the day I introduced her to Baroness Jenny Tonge, who also got one. I'd rather have these two with it than Kate Moss or any of the other cotton industry whores who do drugs. In fact, I refuse to sell this bag to undesirables. For more baq info, check it out at <a href="http://www.hempforvictory.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">www.hempforvictory.blogspot.com</a> or in the article by me in the 2008 Issue #1 of the Journal of Industrial Hemp.

Her activities are archived at <a href="http://www.hempforvictory.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">www.hempforvictory.blogspot.com</a> - put her name in the key word search function, ought to be top left of blog page - under google search bar - and you will pull up the history of this woman. She was amazing! I am one white man trying to get her into the White House - her honesty and experience are 2 key reasons - she is also a better bet for the military (I am ex Navy) - as her state is a big military state and she knows the reality involved. Kucinich I could say a lot of negative things about, in fact I just met one of his aides last month. Ron Paul is OK, but I do not see a great support for hemp or the environment coming from him. BTW, check out the Sept issue of the Ecologist, it has hemp and a story about the dangers of soya. They interviewed McKinney whilst she was in London, so maybe they will publish a story for next issue.

Plastic uses very little resources to manufacture. And shipping of your sign was also much easier on the environment since it weighs less - uses less fuel to transport, creates less pollution. Most campaign signs I've seen have been heavy paperboard coated in plastic to withstand the weather. Certainly more weight and materials there. Paper is much more labor and resource intensive than plastic. When you consider that they probably had these signs printed by the hundreds of thousands, their light weight saved lots of fuel and caused far less pollution than if they were made of something heavier.
