glass
I wish to replace my windows with glass that does not contain any
animal products. Does anyone know what brands of glass do and don't contain animal products? I heard glass that does not use animal products melt in sunlight. Is this true? One more question.. What colour is glass? |

The color of glass depends on the minerals and impurities used to produce it. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit I am sorry if I sound dumb but if glass is not animal or organic, then what is it? |

oups.com... I wish to replace my windows with glass that does not contain any animal products. Does anyone know what brands of glass do and don't contain animal products? I am sorry if I sound dumb but if glass is not animal or organic, then what is it? Have you heard of a guessing game called Animal, Vegetable or Mineral? Minerals are non-animal and (in this sense) non-organic. Glass is made from minerals, chiefly silica. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Most window-pane glass is made from silicon, an abundant mineral on earth. Silicon (Si) is also an element. |

One of the most bizarre trolls I've ever seen. Actually I've only been monitoring this newsgroup for a couple of weeks now but one thing I have noticed.......quite a few of the enquiries seem to dangerously border the knowledge level of the questions quoted above but these said enquiries are asked in all dead seriousness and not like the "tongue in cheek"flavour of this poster and the "Where to take a dump" poster. FWIW, I suspect the two individuals (if indeed it is two separate individuals that is) involved in posting the "tongue in cheek" messages are just having a bit of fun with their own personal observations which are similar to mine. Of course, YMMV...... :-) |
