Biodegradable music accessories

More than 100 million guitar picks are made a year, and although their disposal might not kill the planet, there is no reason they should spend decades in landfills. Wheatware has turned to an American staple crop to make its biodegradable music accessories: wheat. The company’s guitar picks ($4.20 for 12) and tree-free drumsticks ($14.99 a pair) are fashioned from a wheat resin and compost into plant fertilizer in about 90 days. Apparently, they don’t sound bad either.
