Recycling News
Returning from a fine 12 day holiday in the DC area ( steamy) and the Berkshires ( cool), Foodie
glanced through a current copy of Ladies Home Journal on Southwest Airlines. She was already pondering why SW, the profitable and well-run, enlightened airline, was serving up trans-fat laden snacks, and deciding to email the CEO. ( On the list!) And had just read part of a nifty Chicago Trib series about the Oreo cookie--Nabisco is slaving away trying to make an Oreo without trans-fats.
( While reading the piece, Foodie was snacking on a couple Newman's Own faux Oreos, delicious, no trans fats and so wondered why this task was deemed so difficult by Nabisco. )
Anyway---there in the LHJ was a blurb about Biota Water, a Colorado spring water touting itself as "the world's first bottled water/beverage packaged in a commercially compostable plastic bottle." It's made from corn starch. NB Hard to believe it's the world's first--at the Lillehammer OLympic Games in Norway all the athlete's trays were made from compostable plastic created from potato starch.
And on the same page a ladies' razor made from recycled yogurt cartons! ( Cannot recall the brand and am trying to find it.)
It's an amazing planet-- some folks try to blow each other up, others create environmentally friendly new products.
