Biodegradable? I just see methane

We started composting at Red Sky Blue Water and our waste was reduced by 60% automatically. The office wasn't sure how composting would contribute to sustainability but once the trashcan remained empty; it was a noticeable change in which people wanted to participate. There have been great advances, in Seattle especially, in the collection and processing of compost and new biodegradable products are popping up everywhere. But, oh but, all of these new products might be worse for the environment. What they don't do is take up space. One of my greatest concerns is how much space we take up so anything that reduces our 'large bum-print' is great. I will keep composting these "biodegradable' plastics but I will also continue to promote non-plastic reusable products. Disposable is still wasteful, no matter how much corn is in your cup. Reduce! Reuse!
