Beatrix NY rice fiber information:
So what is this rice-husk-fiber thing?
A rice husk is the little green covering around a grain of rice, like a corn husk. Usually they're just thrown away, but we've collected them, smushed them and mixed them with natural starch to make this box! It's made of 80% rice husk and 20% starch. That desn't mean you should eat it, but it does mean its biodegradable! Regular plastic lunch boxes just pile up in landfills and make a mess of the environment for hundreds of years, but this box will biodegrade in about ninety days if broken up and thrown away.
Beatrix NY character information:
Most robots just waddle about on mechanical legs or roll around on caterpillar tracks, but Alexander was built with rockets so he can soar through the Sky! To be honest though, he hasn't actually soared much higher than 3 feet so far. He's more of a hoverer really. But he's just being cautious. Flying takes a lot of practice. If you do it wrong you can give yourself a pretty nasty dent. He'll be rocketing through the clouds soon, but as everyone is always telling him; you've got to hover before you can fly.
