That is brilliant. I'm tempted to print it out and stick it somewhere.

Although it would be fairer to consider the effort it would take to clean the many hundreds of thousands of spoons we're actually talking about.

But you aren't having to clean hundreds of thousands of spoons. Just one.

Yes, but because the plastic spoon production process produces those spoons in volume, the comparison is an unbalanced one.

Also, thanks to plastics, we now have taterware and other cellulose plastics.

Although really, it would've been better if we'd gotten there without taking the interim step of creating massive amounts of plastic waste.

And make the original metal spoon.

Good point.

I am afraid to watch the movie "Collapse", but more afriad to not watch it. And even more afraid that not enough people will watch it.

It's pretty amazing that our society has reached a point where the effort necessary to extract water from the ground, purify and fluoridate it, pipe it into every domicile, and heat it up...

is forgotten about entirely.

Also, the effort to manufacture, flavour, package, ship, and distribute soap for the purposes of washing a spoon.

What about washing and re-using plastic spoons, or am I confusing the issue?

[andrewducker]

I don't of anyone that does that - at least not more than once, as they tend to fall apart.
