Hey Tweeters:

Can anyone tell me the environmental impact of using disposable hand/toe
warmers? Are they biodegradable? If so, how long does it take for them to
degrade in a landfill? I have never seen one so I do not know of what
materials they are comprised. I am not asking to foment dissent within the
group so please reply off-list if you know the answer to my query. Thanks.

Last week I picked up a box of 40 pairs of Hotties at Costco for about
$15.00. They also had the toe warmers, but I don't recall the price.



I have not tried attaching them to the hummer feed yet. This morning I put
the feeder out at 7:15 and the hummer was already there waiting for me. By
8:45 the feeder was almost frozen solid. Got to find the duct tape.
