Recycled Tableware
I admit it. Kicking the paper plate habit is a tough one for me. Between frequent entertaining and usually a case of less time, more chores, sometimes it’s just too easy to use paper plates and pass up our proper dinner plates. With a five-year-old that likes to clear the table (which I’m all for!), I also have a set of Tupperware plates that I use sometimes, when I’m not fearing a sink full of dishes.
But now there’s a new alternative for those of us trying to kick the paper product habit … this set of study tableware made entirely from recycled plastic from the folks at Recycline. A set of 8 will only set you back $17.99, and just think of all the trees we’ll save! You can order online right here, or at Amazon.
Cate,
I’m all for going green, and I strive to make the right choices at the market, whether that’s food, or cleaning products and such. Having said that let’s not pretend that these things aren’t expensive and are realistic choices for everyone. 17.99 for a package of 8 plates is incredibly high compared to the non-green plates that are out there. When larger families are entertaining spending almost $40.00 on just the plates is just not economically feasible. I don’t know what the answer is, but to gain wide spread acceptance wonderful items like this have to lower their prices or else ‘going green” will continue to be just for the those that have the money.
