It’s not only about the waste and if it’s biodegradable, but the pollution fromTransportation and manufacturing. Yeah, bamboo grows quickly, but it still has to harvested, shipped, shaped, packaged, then shipped again. Just make people start carrying their own cutlery if you want to make a worthwhile difference.

Ah i forgot other forms of cutlery don't need to be manufactured, packaged and shipped.

But yeh i'm sure everyone will definitely carry their own set of cutlery.

Yep. Metal utensils need to have all those things happen too, but only once. It’s the single use we need to end.

As far as the cutlery, You stop providing them, and people will bring their own. You can point out how many people didn’t wear masks, but look at how many did. And if it will affect people’s food, people will adapt quickly.
