A glorious dawn
where the city ends and the wild begins
Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.
Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.
Sometimes I come across Tyvek envelopes at work. I fucking hate them, because they’re slippery and therefore hell to handle, but it is a pretty cool material.

My knuckles are all bruised, but sadly not from punching one of my infuriatingly incompetent coworkers. Apparently the people who designed the stuff we use didn’t expect people to have hands this small.
