[GreenYes] glass

[Amy Perlmutter <amyp@chelseacenter.org>]

Melissa:

have you taken another look at glass markets in the past month or so? We're
hearing up here that there has been a big shift-- all colors of glass are
moving, much of it to Europe.  It actually sounds like there may be a
shortage of domestic supply for furnaces, at least in the east. This may be
effecting your neck of the woods as well.

In terms of resources for information on aggregate, Dan Krivit in Minnesota
has done some work in this area.  The email I have for him is
dkrivit@bitstream.net, although I am not sure if that is accurate.
