As an aside, a large number of the things we commit to the trash or hopefully – at worst – the recycling, can be composted. Paper egg cartons, cardboard, used paper towels (as long as there are no harsh chemicals in them), the cardboard inside of toilet paper rolls, brown paper used in shipped packages, paper drink cups, newspaper, #7 PLA plastic drink cups… and now: the packaging from SunChips.
What can be composted in your household?
