Not So Bio-Degradable, Bio-Degradable Flash Drive

It seems like everything is going green today from our cars to our computers. Even the flash drive has gone green with products like the EarthDrive. If you want a drive even more environmentally safe than being recyclable now you can get a bio-degradable flash drive. The catch here is that if you toss this flash drive in the back yard it won't someday disappear into nothingness like say biodegradable paper.

It seems that for this drive to degrade the corn-based plastic the drive is made from has to be heated. That means you have to dispose of it at a recycling center rather than simply tossing it into the trash can and feeling good about yourself. Not exactly what I think of when we hear bio-degradable. The little drive even looks like an ear of corn; it should be a big hit with ethanol producers at their next trade show.
