Saying no to plastic utensils
Oct 15, 2008 : Going Green : by Carmen
As a team, Deelicious Web Design has been coming up with more and more ideas for going green. One idea that came out of our brainstorming was giving up our usage of plastic utensils. This might seem minor, but every little idea helps in our green campaign. We did the calculations and found that we were throwing away 25 plastic utensils every week. That’s 1,300 utensils per year being thrown out after just one use! We thought this was crazy and what’s even crazier is that we decided to do more dishes! Instead of using plastic forks, spoons and knives, we have brought in our stainless steel utensils from home. Now after every use we just wash them and use them again the next day. Yes, this does take a little more time than just opening a garbage lid, but on the bright side, our hands will be nice and soft!
