I know going green can be a daunting thing, but its not all ‘crazy hippie stuff.’ A lot of it is quite easy. Here are two of my favorite green things.
My Sigg bottle and my To-Go Ware set.
These two things are with me 95% of the time. I dont’ know about where you work but I have a break room with a sink, microwave and a few dishes. However the silverware is always missing, so most people just use the stash of plastic. Not me! I have 3 sets of these stashed all over one in my car, one in my purse and one in my lunch bag. Here are a few reasons they are so cool.
-
The case (of my style) is made from recycled PET plastic (soda bottles)
-
Bamboo is highly renewable
-
Some say bamboo has a anti-bacterial quality
-
Its a heck of a lot lighter than metal
So yeah, I like them and I use them all the time, when I eat take out (bad Amber bad I don’t get the plastic and lessen my impact. Plus out work if there are no forks its no problem. Check out the website here
Ok I talked a bit more about those than I will the rest because I”m guessing they might be new to you all.
Secondly I always have my Sigg with me it simply removes the need to ever buy plastic bottle. If you pay attention and are a little inventive and prepared you can almost always find a place to fill it.
Lastly I transport my food in tupperware, evil I know but since I have the ability to remove it and re-heat it on a plate I can’t justify wasting all of that plastic. However if your workplace doesn’t have plates available I would highly suggest looking into some of the newer glass lunch sized containers out there for your lunch.
I almost forgot, one last thing my cloth napkin so I don’t have to waste paper towels.
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
Seriously, I feel like every time I visit your blog, you have always have something interesting to make or to buy! That’s such a great utensil set to carry around! I should do what you do and have more than one set of portable utensil. I tend to carry the actual metal utensils when I remember to and when I don’t I always have to go searching for utensils to use. Good thing my workplace has actual utensils that I can borrow but at school, they only have the plastic stuff.
