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.

Adding to my comment above:

I did some research and found that there are no government-funded Katrina Cottages in New Orleans. Or Louisiana for that matter.

They're all in Mississippi.

The other states' programs are covered in red tape and haven't produced a single cottage yet.

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.
