Are solo cups really bad for the environment?...

Post by scared? »

I have heard that there are now microbes out there that consume plastics. So it shouldn't be a problem that our family go thru 400 solo cups a month right? Just wondering... Cuz i want to leave this planet in a good way for my offsprings...

Any answers?...

You can get compostable PLA cups made from some sort of corn byproduct. That's what JuiceLand (local juice/smoothie place - Geoff will be familiar with it) and various other hippy places in the area use.

Edit: just make sure they don't end up in the recycling bin, and idk if your part of town has curbside compost pickup

make a reusable cup from the loose scrotal skin that used to house your missing ball
