Answer:

You can buy plastic/ disposable bags, plates, spoons, cups, and such made from natural and therefore biodegradable materialsSome are made from corn starches or wheat starchesCheck out the website below for one place where you can purchase themYou can also check out natural and health stores for recycled bags, and use things like aluminum foil, which can be washed and reusedYou need to be really careful about reusing plastic, especially if you heat it (or run it in a dishwasher with hot water)Dangerous chemical compounds can be released as the plastic breaks downThey can cause cancer, reduce your fertility, and lots of other gross stuffI try to use all glass storage containers-I save salsa and pickle jars, for example, and use them to store left over food or food for lunchesthey're safe to microwave, and recyclable if they ever do break.
