Just went to go grab a plate and knife so that I could eat my orange and saw that my office has moved forward on the Green initiative. We have replaced all our cups, cutlery, plates, straws, stirring straws and napkins to ones made with compostable, sustainable and/or recycled materials. We will shortly be switching trash bags as well - "In order for these products to degrade once they hit the landfill, they must be collected in trash bags that will allow them to do so, i.e., not your standard plastic garbage bag. The firm will be switching to biodegradable garbage bags for all trash collecting purposes. These bags will promote the decomposition of compostable materials in land fills."
You can tell they are a little different, but still definitely work.
Go Office. Go Green Committee!!

Hooray for green offices! Our environment is precious, the more we can reduce our impact, the better.
Congratulations on your office greening! Another cool green product that you might also consider is a compostable sponge. We just added it on our website at http://www.thegreenoffice.com !
