We have good news today: One of the worst types of plastic: those red mesh bags that mini-oranges come in have now been changed to a red fiber that appears to be bio-degradable cotton. The label says “Home Compostable.”

If it is what we think it is, that is a huge saving of those itty-bitty shreds of plastic that get into our lakes and oceans.  Not only that, the oranges are delicious. No guilt while eating them. Look closely when you buy them.
