Thanks for sharing this, the hypocrisy is rather astounding.

ADHD with hyper focus, eventually most of the projects get done, but I often end up overcommitted 😆 it’s a blessing and a curse?

Sorry not trying to be a total debbie downer here, but PLA is not a great substitute as-is and there are studies that it produces microplastics more quickly because it is designed to break down faster. We need another alternative. ... on the upside they are using *less plastic :)

Yeah most states don't have a way to compost PLA, you need an industrial facility to do so. It's a big issue at least in Oregon where I'm based.

It's a step in the right direction but cardboard cups are usually lined with plastic (polyethylene or PLA) on the inside?
