Just to be clear, this isn’t biodegradable, it is compostable. These terms are often mistakenly used synonymously. 

Problem is, you need to convince the average Wisconsin hillbilly to pay the extra taxes. Their aren’t enough people in Madison and Milwaukee to cover it.

Having worked in the disposal industry I can tell you that even the very large companies are “Soprano’s” style crooked and a great deal of recycling  ends up in the landfill.

Wasn’t there a quote from God about humanity in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy that pretty much confirms this?

In college I walked by a Taco Bell on the way to class everyday. I would have been way up on this offer even if it was to get a taco to give to one of the people asking for change on State St.
