Kirk here with a note about a local company that produces biodegradable straws from bamboo fibers – a great alternative to plastic straws.

In the short term they are durable, flexible, and don’t dissolve in your drink – even if left in it for days. In the long term, however, they are consumed by micro-organisms and return to nature in about six months if left outside. Pretty cool! I saw this on RKK today but they didn’t share a video so I wrote this up instead.

Here’s a web page about the company:

P.S. This is the second time Ithis week I had to write my summary all over again because Facebook “lost” it (it disappeared when I hit save :( ). I’d better write on a text editor and then copy and paste to Facebook.
