I love it. <br /><br />This green idea isn't related to going out to dinner but I always use biodegradable bags in my trash can and when I clean up after my dog and especially for cat litter. I know a lot of people that use the plastic grocery bags to throw cat litter in. Most cat litter will biodegrade on it's own so why not put it in an earth friendly bag.<br /><br />I'm sure most people do this too but I also bought cloth bags I can use to bring my groceries home in. That way the plastic bags aren't being used and there is less use of the paper bags. The bags can even be washed if something leaks or they get dirty. They only cost 99 cents in our area and usually you can get them at any grocery store. And, of course you can use them over and over again.Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192424669126684909.post-33181821318417504142009-08-14T14:26:22.491-04:002009-08-14T14:26:22.491-04:00I love the idea of reusable chopsticks...not only ...I love the idea of reusable chopsticks...not only are they eco-friendly they are waist friendly too...I can never quite get as much in..lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714229312133325911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192424669126684909.post-76376206144403569152009-08-14T14:16:49.646-04:002009-08-14T14:16:49.646-04:00Oh My god!

What an awesome idea!<br /><br />You can even take it one step further! When you are ready to eat the left-overs, make sure you actually eat it straight out of the to-go container instead of putting it on a plate. That way, you will save water too since you don't have to wash another plate! <br /><br />Have a SUPER day!Rich Amooihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515025331295606103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192424669126684909.post-30889762750230239942009-08-14T14:09:12.574-04:002009-08-14T14:09:12.574-04:00Sorry if I double post, I don't quite know how...Sorry if I double post, I don't quite know how to use these here interwebz yet. <br />I have been thinking of going to REI to purchase their reuseable chopsticks (which break down into halves) but I'd rather win yours. <br />Started a new diet that takes Environmentalism and Global Warming into account as well as weight loss. It's all in Mark Bittman's book "Food Matters".

I'm sure that you know this, but bamboo chopsticks are very renewable, it's the balsa wood type that the Chineese are deforesting to make. I went to Delica RF for lunch on Wed. and though of you Stacie. I chose Delica RF because I was starting a new "vegan before 6PM" diet. Had the agadashi tofu, steamed rice and the green bean sesame salad.

It would keep the food a lot fresher than those boxes from the restaurant, anyway. I usually carry giant purses so I could probably fit containers for my whole dinner party in there! :D<br /><br />I love the travel chopsticks! They're awesome! I would have no color preference.<br /><br />Hmm. Green tips... I know I do a lot of green things, but I'm drawing a blank! I try to buy things in bulk when I can to avoid unnecessary packaging (like buying giant containers of laundry detergent, etc.) I also wash and reuse my plastic utensils from lunch! I like finding new things I can recycle -- like the cardboard backs to the legal pads I use every day for work.Katherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192424669126684909.post-24031366545925067692009-08-14T13:31:01.175-04:002009-08-14T13:31:01.175-04:00Kate that's a great idea.

I went out to eat this week with my husband and his mom and brought home three pieces of my leftover pizza in one of those terrible styrofoam containers. Not only did I feel guilty for having it, it didn't fit well into my thermal lunchbox the next morning for traveling to work.<br /><br />One project that I'd like to undertake to make our office a little more eco-friendly is to convince our boss to buy a Brita pitcher and supply of filters for our office. Whenever we have clients in for closings, we offer them bottles of water, and while I'm always fishing bottles out of trash bins and putting them in our recycling bin in the kitchen, I would rather we use a pitcher and washable cups to offer drinks to our clients. I'm the sales assistant, so it'd be on me to wash glasses and change the filter, but I think it'd really be worth it.<br /><br />(I would probably choose white, as I'll give them to my husband. I am terrible at using chopsticks and almost always end up asking for a fork anyway!)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807371755634322930noreply@blogger.com
