Plastic in tea bags

I thought this was interesting:


Why Is There Plastic In Our Teabags?

​

I wouldn't have thought that the plastic 'frame' of a tea bag would wash up on beaches or be floating in the ocean or sitting in composts. My husband and I compost our food scraps and I figured tea bags would break down.

I am going to loose tea from now on, or buying only certain brands.

Don't forget sea salt. Some months ago they said plastic was found in sea salt as an actual part of the salt. It seemed since it was a part of its makeup nothing could be done about it.

I always used to put those in the compost if I didn’t use them for another craft project or toss them . This is something new because I always thought they were paper or cellulose ( rayon)

 

[FreeinChrist]

I thought they were paper too. Some brands are plastic free.

Surely whisky is one of the best preservatives?

It has preserved the incomprehensible accents of Scots for many centuries.

Did you know that when their time is up, those biodegradable Scotsmen actually get recycled into haggis?
