hmmm....hangers paid for advertisers. I sure hope the ink doesn't run onto the clothing that was freshly dry cleaned.

Wire hangers are only wasteful if you throw them away, and why would you do that? It's not like they wear out. If you don't abuse them, they should last practically forever. I've had the same wire hangers for 30 years and I've never thrown one away (although I've had to buy a few new ones as my wardrobe got larger).

No wire hangers? Channeling Joan Crawford, Miss C?

"Environmentally Friendly Ink"=Soy Ink=not really that great! Soy is, as you all surely know, a commonly GM monocultre plant which's cultivation in America is highly dependant on petroleum-based chemical fertilizers and artificial irrigation. In addition to this, it's not really the BASE of the ink that's toxic anyways- the Soy inks still use the same heavy-metal based, toxic pigments.

It's not the wire ones that are the problem, it's the plastic sort. I leave them at the shop. We have little use for hangers here - the whole house works on the "One pile for everything, everything in the pile" system.

Won't somebody think of the back-alley abortionists?

Ok that wasn't cool, sorry.

Exactly, never heard of metal recycling?

I never throw away my wire hangers, though. Even when they get bent out of shape I just unravel them and use them to keep a chair from falling apart. What's the point of biodegradable versions of stuff you never really throw away?

Also around here the recycling plant takes them.
