What’s a “BioBag”?
The Green Is Sexy Product of the Month is the BioBag, 
which is the world’s first 100% bio-degradeable and compostable bag. Consider it the perfect alternative for all your plastic bags that you use around your house, including menial tasks like picking up after your dog at the park or those late night poop walks 
From Green Is Sexy:
We’ll try not to be too, eh-em, corny when we talk about how obsessed we are with BioBags, but it’s hard not to be. BioBags look like a plastic sack, feel like a plastic sack (actually a bit softer), and hold up like a plastic sack, but they aren’t plastic – they are made of corn!
The material is actually called Mater-Bi, the first completely biodegradable and compostable bio-polymer ever invented. Adhering to strict guidelines and testing, Mater-Bi has been certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400 specification.
BioBags are catching on quickly, too. We’ve seen them offered at parks as a green way to pick up after your dog, at grocery stores as an alternative to the paper-or-plastic phenomena. Recently, to promote their residential food waste collection, the city of San Francisco sent 100,000 rolls of BioBags to residents to help educate them on the importance of diverting food and other biodegradable waste from entering landfills.

I’m surprised that there hasn’t been more press coverage on this type of product. There aren’t any drawbacks (except for a marginal increase in cost) with huge upsides for the world we live in.
I stopped by my local Safeway and couldn’t find them for sale yesterday, but wasn’t surprised to see them readily available on Amazon such as the regular waste bags and dog bags (affiliate links).
