Enjoying My Chai Even More

The City of Fort Collins may have yet to ban bottled water, but in the famous words of Bob Dylan, "The Times They Are A-Changin'."

In a recent trip to the concession stand at Edora Pool and Ice Center(where I work), I was astonished. While new recycle bins had recently been placed in the facility, also to my approval, I never expected to see sustainability at the "snack bar."

"Made using a PLA bio-plastic inner lining, these paper hot cups are fully compostable," according to the companies web site.

Eco-Products is a Boulder based company which specializes in selling sustainable food service products, janitorial supplies, and household supplies. According to their site they have:
