Is one of your resolutions to bring your lunch?  You can do so all year with compostable containers that biodegrade when you throw them out.  This is a great solution for anyone who is unhappy with the prospect of styrene containers leaching harmful chemicals into their food.  PLA compostable containers are made from corn, just like the disposable cutlery we wrote about late last year.  They also compost in commercial composting facilities in 45-60 days.
