I work for a plastic's recycler out of Chicago. yes the commute kind of sucks cause I live in NH but I love the job. I do sales and most of the product development with new streams of recycled plastics. I figured I needed to reduce my carbon foot print since I worked for 3 different large and well know chemical companies since graduating from University.

Wow, I'll agree that this is a great thread!

I've been in the ecommerce industry in some shape or form for the last 14 years or so. I'm currently a product manager at Adobe working with our customers that have an online presence, helping them deliver a better online experience for their visitors which in turn converts website visitors to buyers. And yes, I get all Adobe products like Photoshop for free.

I learned to turn wrenches and make something out of nothing in my previous career as a commercial diver in the Gulf of Mexico. Much safer job now, but I do miss the physical work and blowing out oil rig legs with C4.

If you ever come up to the Summerland Agricultural Research station, do let me know.
Big controversy here at the moment as a fellow I knew in High school has developed an apple that does not turn brown after cutting it open. With the many organic orchards in the area,panic has set in, can't be having cross pollination.
