Everything that is supposedly “green “ turns out to be dangerous and toxic. This again highlights the hiding of true dangers in green products. If I go on a picnic I use stainless steel cutlery and have a proper picnic hamper with washable plates and cups. I keep a small set of stainless steel cutlery for two in my car and bpa fee plastic cups in my car to use at anytime, just in case I stop at a takeaway for lunch and wash them when I return home.
People need to look into the good old tried and true ways of taking items from home when going on a short road trip or picnic. Bring a bag or container for the dirty dishes and that way you don’t have rubbish left in the environment. For the off chance of an impromptu meal keep a small amount of cups and cutlery in the boot or trunk of your car. No chance of eating with toxic chemicals on disposable cutlery or disposable cups etc. Think how cheap china plates can be purchased in the supermarket these can be washed and reused. Just store them wrapped in cheap tea towels to prevent breakage in a box in the back of the car. Kids just love a surprise picnic and this way all you need to do is just buy the food and off you go.
