Unless it's leaded glass, the dangers are at present limited. Glass is made from silica (sand), which is still an abundant resource. However, the recycling of glass is much less energy intensive than the manufacture of glass from silica and as the world is now entering a phase of "energy shortage", the use of less energy intensive processes is the lesser of two evils so to speak.
