Re: In a complete about face...
Looking at the big picture, I rather suspect that no matter how I choose to string up my veggies I still have a lower overall impact on the environment than the bozos sitting on five acres of lawn who purchase all their veggies at the supermarket. Hell, you don't need 5 acres, you can grow a good portion of your fruit & veg & nuts if your house sits on a .25 lot in town. I have apartment dwelling friends who grow all their herbs, and a tomato plant or three along with three or four chili plants on their balcony ... and enough micro greens for salad in their kitchen.
Besides, polypropylene is recyclable. It's not like I send it to the landfill. In fact, I encourage my neighbors to drop all their unwanted baler twine off here. A guy comes around to pick it up once or twice a year, whenever the 55 gallon drum gets full.
