New page

Both are options for disposible (single-use) spoons, forks and knives.
==Research needed==
Which one is worse for the planet?

Need to compare:
* Carbon footprint of production - {{light|because (even though plastic is made from [[oil]], and wood isn't), both require [[energy]] (typically fossil fuels) in manufacturing}}
* [[Land]] use in production - {{light|and how much of the wood might come from [[old-growth]] logging vs [[tree farming]]}}

Both need to be ''put in perspective'' against the environmental footprint of the [[food]] itself, which might be way bigger.
==But in any case==
Even "disposible" things can be re-used many times. The really hardcore folks will keep a plastic spoon after using it, carry it in their bag, and the next time they order a meal, say "hey btw I don't need a spoon, I already got one". If you feel that doing this might make you look "weird", I encourage you to be bold and do it anyway, and if anyone questions you, just show them this article. 😉
