  • So… Silicon is collected, processed, made into glass, we use the glass, then the glass gets pulverized and added to the soil and we make new glass… And all the energy used? We could use a glass jar until it brakes, cleaning it and reusing it, and once it breaks recycling it into another jar or bottle or whatever is better than making new glass.

    How is this any good? Even if refined silicon from glass is more efficient for the nutrient thing than silica sand, it’s just adding another thing to the list of things we keep adding to the soil instead of creating a healthy soil and reducing our consumption. I understand nothing.
