I know about aluminum pots and pans, windows and doors, cladding (that burns well because of plastic filling),… I have learned about mining (digging for dirt/ore with higher percentage of wanted metals/minerals) and how destructive mining/digging can be. –All for this ‘uses for mankind’–

Anyway I have another dilemma: steel wool can be harmful to our health, (cellulose) scouring pads are harmful to plants (our friends), plastic scouring pads are persistent rubbish (bad for the environment)… What do we use? Bamboo pads?
