Everything is biodegradeable?????

This is simply not true for any practical purpose.

Uranium and plutonium have half-lives of hundreds of thousands of years...for human survivability, that's just a bit too slow to "biodegrade."

Hard plastics do not biodegrade, either. Ever.

And styrofoam and soft plastics take a good long time.

And toxic waste is toxic precisely BECAUSE it does not "biodegrade" and the longer it sits in our water and soil, the more poisoned they become.

It is this sort of flippancy that creates the attitudes that smother the planet with garbage.
