Dog just sniffed the box. He looks undecided about them. I wonder if its the China stench? We do our best to avoid made in China and no dog toys, treats or dog foods are allowed from China in my home.
Yep, there are a lot of things that are biodegradable that sit in a landfill for a long ass time for that reason.
I'd be careful of anything that claims to be flushable unless you plan on an expensive visit from a plumber.
The Sun? No, it won't care. You could plunge Earth into the Sun and it wouldn't have much effect.You know, I've been saying this forever. Make it happen!
...technically, can't we do that with nuclear waste, as well? That shouldn't really do anything to the sun, right?

The cost would be enormous though. I think it's something like $10k/lb to get something into LEO. Getting it to the Sun would be quite a bit more expensive. 1) Escape velocity from Earth, 2) Reduce orbital velocity around the Sun in order to fall towards it. Getting there isn't as easy as you might expect.
Nuclear waste: If GenIV reactors ever see the light of day, they could use up some of that waste as fuel. (Or if we'd pull our heads out of our asses and reprocess the damn stuff like most other users of nuclear power, that would help.)
I tested a few bags in water and they broke apart, so I'm happy enough.
Also, my toilets can handle my shit, they can handle some bags.
See that? Totally useful.You know what I don't like about you engineers? Always shitting on my dreams.
On second thought, you did give me a great idea about what to do with this pesky earth problem. :hmm:
Why aren't plastic cups, lids and stirrers made from this stuff?
I was on a job a few years ago, and it was on the site of an old landfill. They were pulling up newspaper from WWII that was still readable. That landfill wasn't nearly as good as a modern site. I'd expect anything that goes in the ground today will last virtually forever.
Space X should launch trash / shit into the sun.
landfills on earth are too damn full !!

Superman pooped on TX?
60 minutes until our (my dog & I) take our Friday park walk. He usually is good for two dumps. Hope these bags don't suck.
That's a neat idea. My city recently introduced a bylaw where you are not allowed more than 3 pounds of pet poop per bag, which means dog owners now have to weigh their dog poop and bag it separately. Completely ridiculous, and will lead to way more pollution going in the landfill. Biodegradable bags for garbage and groceries and stuff should really be a standard by now and not an exception. A good portion of garbage that we throw out is biodegradable by nature while a lot of plastics are recyclable anyway, but by putting trash in bags it changes that.
and why would they introduce such a bylaw? What's the difference? It's going into the trash anyway no?That's a neat idea.
