I made the switch recently. I love it but do wish it was a fair bit cheaper.

I’m pretty sure the thing on the left is a Wolverine. There are definitely badgers in North America that look a lot like the one on the right.

I hope you’re wrong

From what I’ve read PLA is only biodegradable under very specific conditions. I looked into it and you have to send it to a recycling center designed for PLA and its expensive to do so. I would assume microplastics would still be present too. Even though it can be sourced from plant matter its still plastic.
