Check it out: “Americans toss out enough plastic spoons, knives, and forks each year to circle the equator 300 times.” Wow. We here at Cool People Care have been saying how cool it is to be mindful of how you take your lunch and order out, and now this info from GOOD highlights the implications of all our bags, utensils, and wrappers. So, as a reminder, here’s how to be cool when you chow down:
- Skip plastic spoons.
- Take your own mug.
- Pack a waste-free lunch.
- Decline the extras.
- Bonus: Get your own chopsticks.
