Some very shady (and amazing) plates!

I know this is a bit of a segue from our FROLS conversation...
but the proper foods also require the proper tools for eating, and this info was just too good not to blog about asap!

What better to eat your free-range, organic, local, sustainable food on than 100% biodegradable plates?

Plates made from fallen leaves!



Verterra makes dinnerware from fallen palm leaves.  They assure that no trees are ever cut down in the process, and that the fallen leaves are collected from various plantations in South Asia.  The company practices social responsibility too-- supplying hundreds of fair-wage jobs to impoverished areas.


They are durable, heat-resistant, and 100% compostable.  In fact, the website even gives tips for how to start your own compost!



Their tagline: "Borrowed from the Earth and returned."
How great is that?
