we live in a beautiful world

I love (and have been hoarding) the cornstarch spoons and forks that are used by Govinda’s restaurant in the Sustainability Courtyard on campus. They feel much sturdier than plasticware and have a nice tan color. The best part of it is that they are biodegradeable and compostable, meaning that even if they miss the recyclers (and most do here in Hawaii), they won’t be sitting around in landfills a thousand years from now. I’d like to see an across-the-board switch to this standard.  Using these is another small way of taking responsibility.
