"Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man. " --Stewart Udall
Eat Your Spoon
Every year, 350 billion pieces of disposable plastic cutlery and wooden chopsticks are discarded in the United States, Japan and India. Research scientist Narayana Peesapaty has come up with a solution: edible cutlery and chopsticks. These products are made of millet, rice and wheat, contain no preservatives, and have a shelf life of 3 years. They will also decompose in 3 to 7 days (unless they are eaten). The use of this cutlery is not only healthier (plastics leach toxins), but promotes environmental, economic and social justice. Find out how.
BE THE CHANGE
Reduce your consumption of single use plastics - carry your own set of cutlery wherever you go.
