These are such a clever solution and also so beautiful! Not only does it reduce waste, it's also a much nicer presentation for a potluck, etc. -

Lisa, thanks for posting this article. It aggregates a lot of critical information, including how the term "biodegradable" is often used deceptively. This reminds me that it's my responsibility to keep current on developments affecting my ability to maintain a sustainable lifestyle--and that means continuous education, whether I like it or not. Getting the facts may not be pleasant, but it's necessary in order to choose the right actions.
