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.
On Paul Newman pairing up with an organic winery in Rebel Wine Company, are they aware of his joined at the hip relationship with the nuclear industry, and NEI (the industry’s lobbying arm)? The nuclear industry is polluting our waters with tritium and strontium 90, are wanting $50 Billion in loan guarantees, to be paid for with our TAX DOLLARS. I would think that Paul Newman’s Nuclear Taint makes him a poor choice for any organic wine.
