Geo-textile Fabric


I build a lot of hardscapes and I am wondering--does anyone know of an eco-friendly alternative to the typical polyester/or plastic type geo-fabric?

This is no joke. Carpeting. It doesn't sound too envirofriendly to me, but it already exists, right? And you don't want it to decompose. So I guess you just put it under your roadbed or whatever like the geotextile and it works the same.

Just ride your bicycle to work that day and call it green.

As he already said, aside from 'recycling' something else, any 'eco friendly' solution would probably end up with something decomposing....
