Thumbs up for Microsoft!

I have to admit that I'm an Apple person, but I'm not above giving props to the "other guy" when deserved.

Microsoft switches to compostable utensils, cups in cafeterias
Microsoft ditches plastic and Styrofoam in its cafeterias and kitchenettes for compostable knives, forks, spoons, cups, bowls, plates and clamshell carryout containers. That switch is one of several the company is making to reduce the amount of waste generated by the 24,000 meals served daily at its corporate headquarters campus in Redmond, where roughly 40,000 full-time employees and vendors work.
This is relatively old news (courtesy of the Seattle Times), but good news, nonetheless.
