Paper products are just as biodegradable as corn products. Trees grow back just like corn does. I'm going to start a campaign to encourage people to save our wheat fields by recycling the crusts of their bread that they cut off when making a PB&J for their kids.

I think they’d be perfect for serving the kids snacks outside. They’re not plastic, and they’re reusable. Just lay a paper towel or napkin inside, and fill with snacks or a kid-size meal. Even better than the paper plates made from corn and potatoes. [...] [...] I spotted these BBQ Chipwood Baskets at Pottery Barn today, marked down to 2 dollars each.

It will help me to work on my New Year's resolution to be much more conservation minded. I love my Bagus that I learned about on funfindsformom.com. Now I plan to order some Nalgene bottles that you wrote about since I gave up buying cases of bottled water at the grocery store, too. Not only is the plastic a problem, but we use an excessive amount of energy to transport those filled bottles of water all over the world. And ironically, since bottled water is less regulated than city water, we don't even know if the quality is good! Keep up the good sleuthing... Thanks for the great tip.
