Koha was developed by the Trust from the start. The decision to let a third party trademark the name was absurd from the start. I'm glad that the trademark was (eventually) rejected, and that LibLime had to pay costs. LibLime did provide paid support and development for Koha, but that doesn't mean they had any claim to the trademark. Especially as there are other companies that also provide support. (PS this new beta system is shit. The comment box is too small, and that picture is irrelevant to the story. Also, where the fuck did my paragraphs go? Do I have to manually insert them?)

Having biodegradable plastic bags is a great option. I believe there are corn based materials that fit this requirement. Making more packaging biodegradable (particularly for non-food stuffs, like toys or tools) is also a good idea. But simply reducing packaging and plastic bag use is an even better option. Charging an amount per bag encourages people to reuse stronger bags. And they will if they are hit with a surcharge every time they shop. Some jurisdictions have even banned the distribution (by shops) of thin plastic bags altogether. You have to either carry your stuff by hand, or bring (or buy) a reusable bag.
