For my third collection, I was thinking about my tea consumption, and decided to collect my tea bags. I wondered what tea bags are made of and if they are biodegradable? I always just throw mine away. 

If they are biodegradable, maybe they could be put to another use like compost or something. If not, then the bag should be redesigned to be! I wondered if loose leaf is more environmentally friendly than the bags. It also sucks that they can’t re reused!

Making some type of apparatus that can be used multiple times would cut down on constant buying and consumption. I feel like I go through boxes all the time and need to buy more. Then again, maybe this is a marketing strategy.
