Hi Will, Hi Elaine - I've added this to our Diigo group to help us choose and define colours and palettes while we design the website. Cheers, Mark

Hello M, Elaine found this nifty Q&A page - maybe we can do something similar (the same) for the website? w

Hi Elaine, Hi Will, I notie that they don't use the word 'bagasse' at all, at least in their home page text. I must say, it's still not a word that rolls off my tongue: 'sugarcane fiber' soes seem more 'retail friendly'. M

Good 2 Go Naughty Bags! I know that HDPE is High Density PolyEthylene - but who or what are / is PDG? OK just googled it: here we go: http://www.pdgsupplies.com/. But, hang on, Elaine, surely we can't say they 'never' biodegrade - after all, eventually, the Earth and its Sun and the Sun's galaxy will 'biodegrade' - surely we need to define some terms here? If PDG's bags break down into dust, then they are biodegrading. The fact that they are degrading into lethal carcinogenic toxins is another argument, surely? If they never biodegraded, but simply fragmented, I'm thinking there would be no threat: the particles would be like gold, and simply pass through any biological organism without interacting or leavng a trace. I'm guessing here, but is the problem that they DO biodegrade, and then mess up the normal chemistry of organisms that ingest the particles? Mark XXX

Did you check out the information that I sent you on OBP?

Sorry to urinate on your fireworks, Will, but it looks like someone got there before you! :(
