TODAY'S TURN: Add broken glass to tonight's menu

Broken glass can do more than help celebrate Jewish weddings or bloody up Bruce Willis' bare feet while he strafes bad guys in an LA highrise. Broken glass can help you eat. And it can do it beautifully.

It's been said that a glass bottle takes about 1 million years to decompose. May or may not be true, but the point is that glass would be much more useful on your kitchen table than on the side of the highway. Found a surprising number of companies who specialize in dinnerware made with recycled glass - 100% recycled in some cases.

Mazel Tov, Bruce!
