biodegradable plastic can be durable

Please note: the Charlie pen received some "divots" from the roughness of the hardtop pavement (as seen in the video, the car tire actually rolled the Charlie itself and thus its full weight briefly rested upon the barrel - only without any tire contact with the pavement for that instant...thus a LOT of weight for a pen to support alone!). The divots were pressed flat with the outer side of a hard steel spoon and polished in minutes (but a power buffer and tripoli polish were needed). The plastic might not shine like glass, but it certainly is far easier to polish out scratches and bumps to the surface than with most other plastics.
