  • I’ve had a pair of these boots for about 7 years now. The built in cleats are amazing for walking icy hills and I’m sure have saved me from falling on my ass but they making walking on ice so easy how would I know?

    Actually these look like an upgraded version from what I have. My cleats would swing out into a different section of the boot. Looks like these swing out and then rotate and go back into the same tread location would should work way better than what I have because if I get any rocks stuck in my treads I have to pick them out before I can switch modes.

    There are a few different models on that website. For BIFL you might want to go with the metal cleats, but the plastic ones have been working pretty well.







  • I wanted to look this up with my brand of tea, and they do line their cellulose bags with plastic.

    100% of our portfolio is in paper tissue format. Currently the majority of our tea bags are made from natural plant fibres with a thin inner layer of a plastic material called PP which enables the bags to be heat sealed to keep the tea firmly in the bag (0.03 g per bag). Recently, we transitioned our Orange Pekoe range to plant-based tea bags which are made with PLA tissue. PLA is a bioplastic derived from plant sources. Using plant-based tea bags across all our products is an important part of our sustainability strategy and commitment to reduce the use of non-renewable plastics in our business.

    Ugh. I stayed far away from those David’s Tea completely plastic bags but was really hoping that cellulose bags would be fine. Turns our they just have to put plastic in everything. I don’t want plastic anywhere near hot water that I’m consuming.
