SunChips for Earth Day

Tweet

So you ask why eat SunChips? "At its plant in Modesto, CA, SunChips brand has started using emissionless solar energy to help make its snacks. Today, 33% of every 10 1/2-ounce SunChips snack bag is created using renewable, plant-based materials. In 2010, it plans to introduce the first fully compostable chip bag of its kind. Over the past 5 years, Frito-Lay has eliminated 5 billion square inches of packaging by reducing the materials it uses by 10%. SunChips and National Geographic have joined forces to create the Green Effect™ - tell them your idea to eco-fy your community, and you could get $20,000 to make it happen, and a profile in National Geographic. (See official rules for details.) While SC's fully compostable bag will help lessen landfill loads, it'll also need to find its way to a hot, active compost bin or pile in order to decompose properly." ~Ideal Bite Will you include sunchips on your grocery list from now on?
