Hi Folks,
ABC Evening News ran a long story Wednesday evening on the question of what 
Firestone would do with 6 million plus tires.  One possibility mentioned is 
sending them to waste-to-energy incinerators.
An NRDC rep. suggested a variety of ways to recycle or reuse tires.  ABC 
showed many examples.
ABC had factoids indicating the 6 million tires stack up would be the height 
of thousands of Empire State Building and then talked about the hundreds of 
millions of tires disposed of annually.
It was an interesting piece and brought up the recycling issue fairly 
positively.
Best regards,
Lance King

 the recall?  There are obvious environmental implications.
