Biodegradable? Yeah, Right! Maybe in 1,000 Years

It’s also the time of year when I look to see if the supposedly “biodegradable” green spoon is still there. And yes it is.

It looked like standard-issue, practically indestructible plastic to me. But giving the yoghurt vendor the benefit of the doubt, I tossed it into my compost pile, through which many hundreds of pounds of kitchen and garden waste have been cycled since I tossed the spoon into the mix. There it is again this year–pictured above on the top of my pile with some other nonbiodegradable objects that surfaced–looking no worse for the wear at the start of its fourth growing season in my compost pile.
