Good article, every one should always reuse and recycle as well as question product claims of biodegradability. Ask how long the item will take to biodegrade. If you want to learn more about the science of biodegradable plastics see this scientific white paper at: http://www.fpintl.com/resources/wp_biodegradable_plastics.htm

In remembrance of the hippie and his fondest dreams – Bread is best in paper bags, and paper is best produced on otherwise semi- and non- arable land using Hemp fiber, (not the dope type, Don’t be silly!). We can save the forests and produce at least one crop a year, up to four in some places, and it also can yield bio-diesel, and food in form of edible seeds! Canada allows some hemp to be legally grow, and they are metric too! Maybe we should try hemp first, then go metric like the rest of the world! Right now, we pay bonus extras to import hemp, (which grows wild in our country), from China. Not too bright! Wake Up America, Last Call!

Thanks for these examples. However, Tetrapak packaging is at this time very difficult to recycle, as it’s made with 5 distinct layers of material, melded together. There are some methods being developed to remedy this, but I think it would be preferable to have packaging that can be recycled at any run of the mill facilities, so it actually happens.
