I definitely learned my lesson about composting single use paper products...there's plastic in them!  Ice cream cartons, single use paper cups, and leftovers from compostable bags... great!  What can be learned from this?  Why was I so naive and optimistic? While I do believe the certified compostable bags do break down over time given the right conditions, I'm not going to wait around any longer.  I'm glad it showed signs of degrading, but this task is for the big windrow compost facilities...the problem is they don't want it either! Plastics break down into smaller pieces- pieces so small we can't see them.  How can we keep this crap out of our precious soil? It's time to identify your sources one at a time and think of ways to eliminate them. …
