Connecticut made a lot of money off mint around the American Revolution because mint tea was not taxed by the British with the other teas, and the colonies maintained this exemption for mint. So you could say they made a mint off it.

Hitler sold artworks (cheaply) on commision via Jewish contact and to Jewish merchants. He did this for a time after living in a hostel (homeless shelter).... then the Great War came.
Yeah, I really don't think that was the problem. I mean, it's not like he was lacking in ambition or anything.

As long as the recycling process doesn't use up more energy than it saves, I'm all for recycling. I'm a bigger fan of re-using clothing (and other items), though. Nearly all the clothing I now buy for myself is 'used.' Ebay is an excellent source. Not only can I get stuff that I wouldn't have been able to afford 'new'—I have expensive taste but a limited budget—but it's a great way to keep from creating waste. I always give our used clothing to charity shops, unless the garments are worn out. It's the worn-out ones I wish could be recycled. Maybe this new company is the answer.
I hope it's not being shipped by air from Ulaanbataar though, kinda defeats the purpose of recycling.
Nope, it's usually some individual person selling a few things on eBay here in the UK. The stuff arrives at my house on horseback.
