I decided to have a green tea because it's healthier than soda. It's healthier, right?

Yorkshire use plant based PLA to stick the bags together.
Thought I'm not sure what the impact of this is.

PLA's a bio-plastic that, while technically biodegradable, will only break down under very specific industrial composting conditions - we're talking heat above 55-70°C, and in the presence of microorganisms. It's a lot better than fossil-fuel plastics, but it's still not great.
