I am the Marketing Manager for BiOH Polyols, and I did want to respond to the comment above re: sustainability. BiOH polyols from Cargill have been shown to be more sustainable than the petroleum-based products they replace based in scientific life cycle analysis that compares all of the energy, fuel, transport in soybean farming, processing and polyol manufacturing to the petroleum supply chain that our products replace. This life cycle data was generated by reputable third party sources to show that BiOH polyols require 61% less energy to produce and emit 36% less global warming emissions than the petroleum-based materials they replace. You can see the summary of results on that study from Five Winds International here: http://bit.ly/13SdWC. We are in the process of finalizing an updated study that will be available early in 2010 with similar results. While we don't claim that BiOH polyols are a perfect, "green" choice, we do believe that products made with them represent a better choice than standard all petroleum foam products and can have a significant, positive impact in the home furnishings industry. These products are just the first on a journey towards more sustainable innovation. <br /><br />If you have other specific concerns or questions on BiOH polyols that I can address, please don't hesitate to contact me through our customer service email bioh@cargill.com.

The production of soy is completely unsustainable, relying on our limited supply of fossil fuels, synthetic fertilizers, and a harmful irrigation system - which sustainable family farms have no ability to compete with. Increasing our reliance on Cargill's factory farming in one other aspect of our lives will only end poorly when we no longer have cheap enough petroleum to farm in that way and have injured the land in such a way that we could not farm sustainably if we wanted to. It's very much the same as using corn ethanol as "biofuel" and believing it has a lower impact on the environment - when it uses just as much fossil fuels to create as is made, the net energy produced is zero, the environment is impacted negatively, and the corporations still make money. <br />I'm sorry to be such a downer on the issue but I've done quite a bit of research on Cargill and I know a lot about how they turn the best of intentions of the consumer into revenue for their company. I truly wish that BiOH was as good of a program as it appears to be. <br />Oh and just as a side note, since I've never commented before - I LOVE your blog! You post the best things and I'm sorry for not having ever commented before (with something much less annoying, and more positive). Cargill just hits a nerve with me every time though, haha.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935964045429034608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8177135354344505111.post-14032373978320144412009-11-06T23:49:34.406-06:002009-11-06T23:49:34.406-06:00GARY ~ I love that barrel sofa and it actually, is...GARY ~ I love that barrel sofa and it actually, isn't bad to sit on.
