How many times a week do you use plastic utensils? Do they end up in the trash when you’re done?

Bring your own utensils with you. Keep a set in your purse or desk at work. Use an old set you already have, or check out the Nomad Travel Silverware set. It has a fork, spoon, knife, and bottle opener that fit into a plastic case when not in use.

When you do use plastic utensils, bring them home with you and throw them in the dishwasher to get a few more uses out of them.
