Eco Event #2

As i was eating a bag of sun-chips this morning, March 7th, i realized how different the bag felt. Then i realized the bag had a new heading that said, "100% compostable materials". WOW! I thought, how cool for a big cooperation like Frito Lay to actually care about the environment. So i googled 'New Sun chip bag' and this article came up from an excellent eco-friendly website. Check it out here.

Reaction: My initial reaction to the article was questionable. The article started with the controversy with how loud the compostable sun-chip bag was. Is this a serious reason for not helping the environment? I mean just pour the chips out of the bag into a bowl if it is really that big of a deal for you, honestly. Frito lay has done a great thing here that (so far) I havent seen any other major chip company attempt. However, due to the 'noise' complaints Frito lay did change their bag and now it is available again, but only for the original flavor! In conclusion, I hope people can get over a little bit of noise and embrace Frito lay for it-least trying to help the environment.

P.S. This article also interested me because i love sunchips!
