I saw this story in the Sunday paper:
It's getting easier to find products of all kinds that will decompose without polluting the soil or adding to landfills. Here, a few that are worth noting:
1. Golf Balls. So that you won't actually be littering when your ball goes into a lake or off a cliff, Eco Golf Balls (EcoGolfBalls.com) eventually break down into carbon dioxide and water.
2. Cups, napkins, cutlery and plates. All kinds of food containers and servers that are made from corn, sugar cane or recycled paper can be found at websites such as BiodegradableStore.com
3. Garbage Bags. BioBags (BioBagsUSA.com) for the lawn (which decompose after 12 days) and the kitchen (best used for food waste and paper) are made from renewable resources.
4. Coffins. Yes, even at the end we can be good citizens. The Ecopod (ecopod.co.uk), for instance, is made out of 100% recycled paper and will break down slowly over time ... ahem ... as you do.
