Have Your Takeout and Eat It Too
Date: October 10, 2008 | Category: Featured, Food & Drink, Kitchen, Lifestyle
Having lunch at the office often starts out with a treasure hunt for a fork. Plastic cutlery is simply the worst (made from petrochemicals, it will end up in a landfill after just a few minutes of actual food service), but keeping track of silverware at work can prove more difficult than it should be.
The To-Go Ware Utensil Kit helps reduce your ecological footprint without forcing you to eat lunch with your fingers, a very unladylike option.
The lovely utensils are made of bamboo, which is highly durable and can be grown and harvested sustainably. In addition, the holder is made of 100% recycled plastic, produced by CONSERVE, a women’s cooperative in New Delhi. By purchasing this utensil set, you will have contributed to their advancement and empowerment. The very cool set comes with a fork, knife, spoon and – jackpot! – a beautiful set of chopsticks, all in a handy cutlery roll that comes in a variety of colors.
All in all, a much more civilized way to eat on the run.

Reusable utensils are always the best solution. However, there are always going to be times when disposables are appropriate and there are plenty of fantastic alternatives to plastic. I work with a company called StalkMarket that specializes in eco friendly disposables that are made entirely of plant materials and are 100% compostable. Check out http://www.stalkmarketproducts.com for details.
Thanks.
