It May Be Corny, But It's Green

 What’s so great about the water bottle? Its iconic shape? Transparent walls? Sport-friendly top? All great features, but when you consider The Great Pacific Garbage Patch — a mass of plastic bottles, bags and trash the size of Texas floating in the Pacific Ocean — it might be time to ditch the standard-issue hydro gear. Better yet, replace it with a New Wave Enviro Corn Resin Bottle made entirely out of, you guessed it, corn. The bottle will biodegrade in 80 days in a com-mercial compost, but only after providing you with 90 servings of carbon-filtered water (no leeched toxins here). It’s got all the things you love about your beloved bottle without the environmental destruction that goes along with them.
