Normally our blog posts is more about the studio and/or our customers. Today will be about that I guess , but mostly about all of us. The other day Cathy brought home a bag of Sun Chips from the grocery store. It seems our oldest daughter had a craving for them. The bag sounded so different, so loud, that it caught my attention more quickly than a bag of chips typically would (which is pretty fast). When I finally got the bag from her, there it was in bold letters; WORLDS FIRST 100% COMPOSTABLE CHIP BAG. Wow! How cool is that! It's made from 90% renewable, plant based materials and it breaks down completely into compost pile. I was so impressed! Good job Frito Lay! You guys rock! Now all companies need to follow your lead. Especially trash bag companies.
Here at the studio we try and do our part. We take everything we can to the recycling station once or twice a week. That adds up to a lot of stuff, especially cardboard, which our photos come packaged in. Since doing this, we've cut our trash output by over half. I know it's a small step, but if we all did that, it would be a huge start.
It's our planet, lets do our share.

Kevin, we love your enthusiasm for the new SunChips compostable bag! If you want to learn more, please feel free to check out www.sunchips.com and become a fan of us on Facebook – www.facebook.com/sunchips. And in case you were curious, our new 100% compostable bags are made from PLA, which is a plant-based material that allows it to compost. The change in material is what has created the change in noise you have noticed. It's important to keep in mind that this is a first-generation bag and the SunChips R&D team will be evaluating the feedback we get from consumers to improve and refine the packaging further. If you’d like to learn more about the bag and how to compost it, please visit www.sunchips.com.
