I stopped by the new location of The Village Bean in the East Village yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised to see them using compostable plastic cups for their cold to-go beverages. Which made me think... we've got a huge surplus of corn, which is why there's so much high fructose corn syrup and corn-based ethanol. So why not divert it into corn-based plastic?
I'd be thrilled to be able to throw my chai cups into my compost heap.
