oh my word so I just bought this new type of tea right. brand Good Earth. Box boasts, among other things, Eco-Friendly packaging, Rainforest Alliance Certified ingredients, and Biodegradable Teabags. So I open the box and all the teabags are sealed in a plastic package. Weird, I thought, especially for a company that’s so proud of their Eco-Friendly Packaging. Most teas I buy they’re just individually wrapped in paper. Which is, I think you’ll agree, more eco-friendly than plastic. But never mind that, I thought, I want some tea. So I open the plastic package and. the Tea Bags. are ALSO made of plastic. floored. stunned. unbelievable. Can you IMAGINE actively ignoring TWO industry standards of biodegradable packaging and then turning around and BRAGGING about how biodegradable your packaging is.

#Moose Talks #the company is from california which tracks #or that is they SAY they're from California the small print on the side of the box says manufacured in the EU and shipped to New Jersey #but still. this is some LA shit if I've ever seen it #that ''biodegradable teabags'' has an asterisk next to it by the way. footnote says the teabags are ''industrial compostable''#but the BOX is ''widely recycled''
