Question: biodegradable kitchen garbage bags

[scooterlaru]

I've been trying to switch over to using cloth bags and the like in an attempt to reduce my use of plastic bags

I have a friend who buys these:
http://www.ecoproducts.com/Home/home_biobags/home_biobags_trashcan.htm

I haven't tried them myself yet, because I need to use the box I already purchased and I'm on a very thin budget at the moment. But our local eco-friendly drugstore carries them for about half the price I see listed on that site, I believe.

Oh! Wait, a better price here:

I can vouch for the biobags too! I've been using their dog bags for a while now and feel much better about that than using regular plastic bags. That said, they do suggest that NOTHING biodegrades the way it might naturally when it's buried in a landfill, instead of, say, being composted, so I sometimes wonder how much good they're actually doing.
