I carry a titanium backpacking spork around in my purse. I know that sounds kind of weird, but it saves me from using disposable utensils when I eat out, and it’s so light, I never even notice that I’m carrying it.
Before the Industrail Revolution it was common for guests to be expected to bring their own utensils with them when invited to dine, because utensils were expensive, labor intensive items, and most people didn’t own extra sets. Now, when it’s possible to buy a set of 1,000 plastic utensils for under $20, people don’t even think about bringing their own.
But think of the plastic waste that can be saved by slipping a fork from home in your purse on the way out the door. You don’t need anything fancy. Grab one from your kitchen drawer, or if you’re worried about loosing a piece of a set, pick up a few spare utensils the next time you hit a discount store, thrift shop, or yard sale. It’s simple a simple way to cut down waste, and it’s always nicer to eat with real utensils anyway.
Isn’t that green drink thing awesome!!?? I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t heard of it sooner. And, since a move might me in my near future it would certainly help meet new people!
It is awesome! I wish they had it in my city. I’m thinking of trying to start one.
There’s actually a green drinks party in my hometown! Thanks for posting that!
Also, I’m thinking of doing another juice fast as the fruits and vegetables come into season around here. But last time I posted that I was doing that, everyone was all up in arms that I was starving myself. So I think I’ll just do it and keep it to myself, because I loves me a good juice fast.
Hey Allie. I just started a book club for wednesday posts and we’re reading Animal Vegetable Miracle. If you want to read it have read it whatever, I’d love for you to be a part of the group if you can manage the time. Just wanted to throw the invitation out to you.
Do any other guys read this?
I’m sorry, but I can’t read Jason Alexander without hearing George Costanza. It’s like worlds are colliding.
I put in my two cents at Frugal Dad. The subject is of some interest to me.
Knoxville has a Green Drink!
I think Neil and my husband read the site (I hope). Oh! And Roger commented yesterday. So a few guys too.
I love Frugal Dad. He rocks.
I don’t think Jason A will ever be anything other than George Costanza to me. He may be a very nice, normal man in real life, but in my mind, he will always be talking about lying in velvet eating a block of cheese. The Summer of George!
