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.
BSG going green! Is that, like, recycling traitors through the airlock? I could be into that.
Hahahahaha! You are awesome.
Thanks for the link Allie…and I’m going to link to FPF today too, in hopes there might be some Cali’s reading my site that will take action.
I wonder if the season finale of BSG was somehow related to an environmental disaster, because, wow. Great link, I wish there was more!
I’ve got to check out this BSG thing some time.
So much to catch up on at Allie’s Answers!
Mickey! I’ve missed you! And yes, you do need to check out B-Star.
Noelle- I wish there was more too!
Jill - You’re welcome!
