Are Your "Peanuts" Bio-degradable?

Because I failed to educate an eco-conscious customer on the the high volume of "evil" peanuts she would be receiving with her recent order, I nearly induced a mini-heart attack.

Here is my short (74 seconds) Green Public Service Announcement, designed to heighten awareness and avoid unnecessarily filling our landfills. Pass it on!

They also taste good with a little honey! :-)

Problem is you can't wash them first .... :-(

And you can eat them right out of the box, like this guy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwXpu3a39H8

WOW that is awesome. I'm surprised yet at the same time I'm not. Leave it to Amway Global to be a steward in this area.

I was at a party yesterday and there were some snacks served - out of a proper packet - and apart from a little colouring they looked and tasted exactly the same as Amway "peanuts"!

Time to add a price and some PV? :-)

I remember when a voicemail was put out in Ireland about how to dispose of this type of fill - It was then announced at a function and the credit was given to the IBO who put out the voice mail - but all he did was read his Amagram - This was a few years ago. Were we ahead of the USA??

alpha,
In a word...yes.

There is zero information given out about these peanuts.
I only knew what to do with these peanuts because I receive a package (maybe 15 years ago) from Crate & Barrel and they had these peanuts WITH instructions in the box.
After more than a couple of years of trying to get the corporation to INFORM people about these peanuts, I've "resorted" to doing this post. :)

Yeah, I recently discovered the tea Amway Europe sells is from one of England's most exclusive, award winning Tea companies - and it's fair trade and rainforest alliance certified!

Amway however prefers to keep their suppliers anonymous :(
