Yes yes yes! What a wonderful idea! A 100% biodegradable six-pack ring, plastic-free and made of barley and wheat leftover from the brewing process.
We need every beer company to support and switch to these edible six pack rings! In the meantime and if you must purchase a six-pack with plastic rings, don’t forget to cut it up before you throw it out, That way, if it accidentally ends up in the water, no animals will get entangled in the rings.
While Wisconsin more so conjures images of snow and cold (and cheese) than it does the ocean, it actually has a spectacular coastline along Lake Michigan that undergoes traditional coastal geomorphology processes.
Cave Point County Park in Door County, Wisconsin features great examples of wave-cut platforms (shown in the above photos).
Wave-cut platforms are the remnants of previous cliff lines. As the waves roll in, they continually pound against and erode the cliffs, causing undercutting–cutting deeper and deeper in the rock until a cave forms (shown below).
Due to the force of gravity and freeze-thaw cycles weakening the rock above the undercut areas, mass wasting erosion of the existing cliff face occurs, leaving behind a flat platform at sea level.
The cliff will continue to retreat as these erosional processes take place, progressively leaving behind these bedrock ledges.
