A new product which is biodegradable, and can use the same machines that already create plastic flatware...it's vegetable based!

And how about a blast from the past:
Carly Simon and John Hall in 1979 fighting for No Nukes...but singing of The Power of the Sun.
They may have been singing about solar power, but the demonstration was against Nukes.
President Jimmy Carter was responsible for installing solar panels on the White House that heated water for his family’s quarters and the cafeteria. In 1979 he said, “Nobody can embargo sunlight. No cartel controls the sun. Its energy will not run out. It will not pollute the air; it will not poison our waters.”
Ronald Reagan did not have Carter’s visionary view; he took down the solar panels.
The alternative energy efforts of the 70s were shadowed by big oil being supported by Reagan.
I've always wondered what happened to this: somehow the Republicans managed to get us to ignore and carry on when Reagan paid (in what currency I wonder) the Iranians to not release the hostages until the day of his inauguration...which is known as why he won that election right under President Carter's working on the hostage release in other methods.
Why did we stop caring about that? Why do we not call Republican thugs to justice?
Yesterday President Trump said he's going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Watch out as to all the sovereign nations also in his "renaming" spread of powers.
