Plastic Utensils

• DON'T BUY!!! Use silverware!
• Store the plastic utensils you get from fast-food restaurants in your car and use them for on-the-road meals or when drive-thru forgets to give you utensils (it happens!).
• Take on camping trips or picnics (but don't throw them out). Reuse them until they break.
• Send to school in your kid's lunch box. Make sure they bring them home for reuse!
• Use as plant supports for droopy seedlings.
• Keep a spoon by the coffee at work for sugar.
• Keep a spoon in your desk drawer at work for stirring your coffee (so you don't have to use a stirring stick).
• Collect and take to work for office parties. Wash and reuse when the festivities are over.
• Let kids use a knife for cutting clay or play dough.
• Give to kids for playing "house" or "restaurant."
• Keep a set in your desk drawer at work in case you forget yours when you bring lunch.
