    That article made me cringe at first as I thought of the [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch]Great Pacific Garbage Patch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

    If it is completely biodegradable, then it sounds like a great development.

    Yea. Must be made from corn starch or something. Sun Chips is also working on a bag that you can put in your compost. I have the article bookmarked somewhere, when I think about it, I will post it.

    I recently read about fishing tackle made to biodegrade completely in 5 years. Can't hurt.
