I have a feeling AT meant to compare RECYCLED CONTENT paper plates, not recyclable paper plates to real plates.

You can't recycle a food-stained paper plate in a regular, municipal recycling system.

The real plate is overwhelmingly more environmentally friendly. Buy some used ones at a thrift store.

I'm a big fan of the Katrina Cottage - looked through the design book at Lowes.

As a resident of New Orleans, though, I've never seen one constructed. Only the ubiquitous FEMA trailers outside gutted homes.

Maybe they've been built elsewhere across the Gulf where homes were leveled instead of in New Orleans where most homes were flooded but remained structurally sound.
