Question:

Buy snow cables? Or is auto 4 wheel drive good enough?

I'm planning a trip for snowboarding, but the icy and snowy roads are a concern. is auto 4 wheel drive (on a Rav 4) good enough for a snowboarding trip? Or should I go get snow cables?Thanks!

Answer:

It's either thermoplastic or resin or the product is composed of separate parts of each. Both types of plastic essentially come from oil, both don't degrade very well. The thermoplastic part can be recycled as it's probably polythene or polypropylene etc (where facilities are available). Any plastic resins can't be recycled. (thermoplastics melt when heated, hence 'thermo'.)
Wow you have a lot more materials to work with than I did! We had to use just straws and masking tape. From what I remember, the best egg drop containers were the ones that acted as shock absorbers for the egg. Don't try to slow the egg down with a parachute. It almost always backfires and slams the egg into the side of whatever building your dropping it off. I made a box out of straws and tape, then cut up straws for packing material and taped it shut. It fell like a stone but the egg was one of the few that was perfectly in tact with no cracks or anything.
