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:
Papar is very fond of getting her way, in fact she insists on it. And her demands can be quite specific. She wants her tree to have blossoms and leaves, but no pointy twigs. She needs to have a high branch with a good view, but it mustnt be too drafty. She requires at least eight hours of sleep and absolutely must not be woken up before 5pm (shes a night owl). If she gets what she wants, shes one of the nicest animals in the forest, but if shes denied out come the claws!
