Have recently discovered the dumbest idea to ever come out of the mind of a Green: rapidly biodegradable trash bags. I use coffee grounds for compost, and I left a bag on my back porch for a couple of days... and it disintegrated. I now have a nice mocha stain on a quarter of my porch.
Oh, even worse, the stained part of the porch is the part I had just replaced, so I have to stain the rest when I replace it. Dark porches and Florida sun, so comfy on the feet.
It is even worse than you imagine. Those are just plastic adulterated with starch so that it breaks apart quicker into small bits of plastics. What's the other great environmental disaster? MICROPLASTICS! They are now less reusable than before. No more keeping damp garbage in them then disposing weekly. No more keeping for a later date.

It is, most of these bags are going to a landfill, where them rotting will not matter.
Now you'll have to stain the rest of the porch mocha.
