Our Story
or, how things got started ...
One day I was in my kitchen eating leftovers. My leftovers were in three petroleum-based plastic containers ... one large, two small. When I was finished eating, I rinsed my recyclable containers out (because I had heard that they don't recycle containers with food left on them in some areas of the country). After I finished rinsing, I put them in my recycle bin. I suddenly realized that a lot of waste we generate is created by "to-go" food packaging.
I started thinking about how many people actually recycle their recyclable containers. Sadly ... most people probably don't take the time to recycle, I thought to myself. Then I learned that only 1% of plastic is recycled in the US and in many areas Styrofoam isn't recyclable at all!
That evening I learned about packaging made from plants like sugarcane, corn, reed and potato. I decided to make it my mission to educate consumers about compostable food packaging and waste bags. A short time later green duck was created. One step at a time we can all work together to turn back time on any damage that has been done to our planet.
Each one of us can be a part of this postive change. Encourage those around you to replace all petroleum-based plastics and styrofoam with plant-based, compostable packaging. Buy Green, Make Compost, Grow Life!
