Making Blog Friends With Other Foodies and Greenies

So recently, I’ve been reading a lot of other online sources of information, mostly in the form of blogs, regarding organic eating, health and wellness, and going green. One of the real standout blog resources / new friends has been the group over at Muse Green. With kind permission, I wanted to signal my readers to a recent post of theirs. Below, a summary and a link over to read the rest of this great post, and to meet the team over at Muse Green. Great stuff over there! Become a loyal reader.

Experts Hail in a New Era of Disposable Dinnerware

According to Muse Green, “VerTerra, THE company to go to for disposable, leaf-based plates and platters have just completely revamped their line for 2009! What better than disposable plates made from a 100% renewable source? …. fallen leaves!” Sounds like amazing news to us here at Organic Eating Daily.

All in all, VerTerra sounds like a pretty great company, based on Muse Green’s analysis: “VerTerra (based on the Latin phrase Veritas Terra or ‘true to the earth’) are on a mission and that is to produce the highest quality products using sustainable production methods and fair wage labor for the environmentally and socially conscious consumer. The end result is pure genius. Using pure materials that they borrow—and then return—to the earth.”

Another note from VerTerra on their newest line of Disposable Dinnerware

“From start to finish, the impact we make on the earth is our top priority. We start by collecting fallen leaves from plantations without cutting down any trees. Normally, these leaves would be burned on the side of the road. Instead, they are brought to our factory, sprayed with high pressure water, steamed and UV sterilized. We recapture over 80% of the water we use. No chemicals, lacquers, glues, bonding agents or anything toxic are ever used. The entire process uses only a fraction of the energy used in recycling.”
