My last Green Living Tip discussed kicking the disposable plate habit. One of my suggestions was to use compostable plates during parties. I know that some people may not be willing to or able to stop using disposable plates for everyday use. My suggestion is, if you must use paper plates, use a compostable one.
I know you are thinking that I am suggesting something crazy. You are thinking that they are costly and hard to find. Wrong! They are found right in your local Costco. Chinet makes compostable plates and you are probably already using them. Check those plates in your cabinet to see. This is the what they look like:
Many other common companies are selling them too - Solo and Hefty among them. You can find these brands in your local grocey stores, Whole Foods and local discount stores too. If you just look at the packaging you will be pleasantly surprised.
Now that you know, start putting those plates into your compost pile instead of the trash. It will help the environment by having less trash going into landfills and it will help your garden by making you more compost. It's a win-win.
