Eat, then make compost... no, not that way.



i just saw a commercial that made me stand up and applaud... literally! sunchips has developed a chip bag made from plant materials that will biodegrade within 14 weeks. 14 weeks! that's a little more than 3 months! chip bags made primarily out of aluminum and plastic can take anywhere from 200 to 400 years to turn back into dirt. i'd say that's an improvement.

p.s. - frito lay makes sunchips. terracycle upcycles frito lay chip bags into back packs and donates 2 cents for every bag to the kenton county animal shelter. i am currently collecting these bags and other items for terracycle. give me your bags.
