Normally, we'd never suggest that you and the family toss your picnic ware into a lake or leave it behind on the campsite after you're done grubbing -- but that sort of thinking goes out the window (as opposed to into the landfill) when we're talking biodegradable picnic ware.
Made from 100% biodegradable cassava (the same plant that lends itself to your tapioca pudding), the set's plates, bowls and cups are literally the best kind of litter: Leave them in water for a week, and they disintegrate. Turn them into the compost pile, and in a few months you've got food for the garden, complete with soil-friendly starch. The wooden cutlery and gingham tablecloths included with the set don't break down quite so easily, but they're far more reusable than plastic and paper.
$29.95 from Firebox, and be sure to pick up a tent for the full camping experience while you're at it.
