How long does it take for a milk carton to decompose in a landfill? How about a plastic soda bottle? Can anyone guess how long it takes for styrofoam to waste away into Earth? Great article from Great Green Shoes sparked this post, and subsequent contest. Big Clue Just Revealed!

I’m gonna be posting the results in an entry next week. But i wanna see what responses i get. Hit the comments section for your guesses. Maybe we should do a contest. How about a random draw? The winner receives a 12 pk of FSC Certified Cedar Pencils. These are really cool eco friendly pencils. See pics below. I can mail these off to ONE LUCKY WINNER. Sorry, but U.S. residents only.

Get your guesses in and good luck!

Contest Ends: Monday, the Oct 22nd, at Midnite.
