alt Hacker NewsIn Australia plastic utensils and bags have been banned for so long you'd almost forget they existed. Was a pretty big shock traveling to other countries and seeing how far behind they are on this stuff. There wasn't even a difficult transition period, it just probably costs an extra cent to use wood over plastic.

Wood ends up in a landfill anyway or they have proper way to separate it from the rest of the trash?

Ever wonder if wood is really a renewable resource? Once you see a 4th generation forest, you start to realize we might be running pretty short.
This seems to bounce back and forth, for awhile it was save the trees, now it's cut down trees to save the world apparently?

I think you’re overstating this somewhat - I took eggs home in a plastic bag from my local butcher this morning and ate with plastic forks and knives at a picnic on the weekend. Yes, in Australia.
