[Greenbuilding] Virgin Steel

[GSAVP at aol.com]

Jeannie:
 
I suggest you contact the Steel Institute, and have them revise their  
definition. I have never met anyone with your take on "Virgin" and "recycled",  from 
a positive / negative perspective. As for your reference toward women - got  
anything stronger to comment on with respect to terminology? 
 
FYI - Both men and women are born virgins.

I've  said it before, but I don't think we should term non-recycled  products
'virgin.'  It implies something good about new production  (that is somehow
more 'pure' or 'pristine,' which is not particularly true)  and it implies
something very negative about recycled products AND also  about women.  This
is the 21st century so I hope nobody still believes  that women who have sex
(you know, like your wife and your mother) are  somehow tainted, used, dirty
or otherwise less than  'virginal.'

Good Morning:

Anyone know where I can buy "Virgin"  Steel with no recycled content, and if

there is a premium price for  this?
