I have recently discovered that the "Earth Choice" recyclable/compostable cups I have been using may not be as environmentally friendly as I thought.
It seems their maker Ingeo uses a corn product to make them. The corn they source is a mix of non-GM corn and GM corn. I do not support Genetically Modified crops. Giant companies like Monsanto have been taking over smaller farms and suing farmers and organic growers who have been farming for generations, because of GM plants blowing into fields (where they were not planted) and/ or cross pollination. I do not support 'Round-Up Ready" seeds other GM manipulated seeds and crops. They are a key element in Obesity, Auto-Immune issues, and Cancer of most countries, primarily the USA.
Are there any 'one-time-use' cups that are healthier for the environment and the people using them?
