color me impressed

Today I drove out to Whole Foods, and I always have to get the tofu dishes at the salad bar. I rarely eat tofu, but I eat it when it's already prepared for me.

And today I noticed something fabulous.
Their take-out containers are biodegradable! I nearly said, "Damn skippy!" to myself as I noticed this. As I was paying for my purchases, the check-out woman gleefully told me that they biodegrade within two weeks, and they were made out of cattails...the plants, of course.

Seeing stuff like this makes me happy.

Now if only every food chain would jump on this....
