Tightly rolled paper. As kids, we would unravel it - for fun. I don't know when it happened (was it 5, 10 or 20 years ago?), but they switched to plastic. Was it to save money, or to make the stick more durable? Or both? Funny, “Q-TIPS®/cotton swabs” stick were made of biogradable material in the past. Tightly rolled paper.

I wish some one out there could fund such a project. It is worth perusing looking around for some Foundation dedicated to clean environment. I will keep my eye out.

I am still dreaming of such a time. Another dream?
