Tip of the Day
Bring Your Own Utensils
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.
Drat. My luck does not stretch to the internet….
Darn. Hope there will be more contests in the future. I love this blog btw.
Thanks so much, Saleha!
There will be more contests in the future! I have another book to give away in a week or so.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you guys then!
Oh, I can’t wait to hear what Mickey thinks of the book.
What? How? Okay. Thanks.
I guess I could use some style, and I’m all about saving the Earth. Per the Modern Gal, my reactions to the book will be posted. (Maybe I’ll even share the book with Courtney.)
Yea! Thank you very much! I, too, love this blog. I look at it every day at work (don’t tell anyone).
