Fibers, Vegetable Vs. Man-Made

As always, most of my posts deal with ways in which green science continues to help the world by reducing waste, reuse of waste through recycling processes, and through scientific benefit of the environment. This post in particular deals with a book dealing with how fibers derived from various sources affect ground reinforcement from natural processes such as erosion and weathering, or from man made processes like seepage. The book covers the various pros and cons of vegetable fibers in conjunction with  man-made fibers, and how each is beneficial in its own way.
