Presentation_Image2

Plastic spoons… They’re used quickly, then discarded, only to spend the next several decades trying to decompose in some landfill. The Edible Spoon is here to help, with a neat little scooping utensil that’s 100% biodegradable and 100% edible.

Brought to us by Triangle Tree, the spoons are made mostly of organic corn and flour, and available in three flavors: Plain, Spicy and Sweet. Great… But there’s a missed opportunity here to save some forks. Bring on the edible sporks!

I Am Not A Paper Cup

Approximately 58 billion non-recyclable coffee cups are disposed of every year. I Am Not A Paper Cup will help make you only appear to be part of the problem.

Available at The Foodiggity Shop.
