Composting your organic waste (once you've built your compost spinner) is a great way to cut back on your contribution to the waste stream, and extend the usefulness of your used jack-o-lanterns, orange peels, grass clippings, raked leaves and coffee grounds. Once you've got that down, you can take it a step further by tracking down and using biodegradable plastic bags and packaging for your grocery and other regular shopping.
Canvas bags are a great, reusable, way to cut down on your bag consumption when you shop, but it can be hard to remember to bring your own plastic bags for a handful of green beans or bunch of grapes. No problem; the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) has you covered with a growing database of fully biodegradable plastic products that will fully brake down in your compost pile and not choke up a landfill for the next century or two.
The approved products list is categorized into compostable bags, food service, resins and packaging, with a logo that signifies its biodegradable nature. Look for the logo at your local store, and if you can't find it there, you can track down the products via the BPI website. ::Biodegradable Products Institute
