About two months ago in my efforts to be greener I purchased and now use daily real silverware and dishes at lunch. For the longest time I was eating every meal out. I began eating at my office because it’s less expensive, and it’s healthier because I’m less tempted to eat too much or to choose unhealthy options. Well, once I started eating at my office I also started using plastic silverware, paper plates, and even before that I was using several plastic or styrofoam cups in court and in my office daily. Now I eat my lunch on real dishes and with real silverware, which somehow makes eating lunch at my office seem better. I take a travel mug of ice water to court with me and either drink water throughout the day from that or from an oversized coffee mug in my office. The only negative is that now I have to do more dishes, but I think the benefits outweigh that.
