Thank you for your thoughtful comments and recognition on your Podcast, you are doing some great work and I am very honored to be mentioned! I agree that bringing your own silverware is a more energy-efficient option. One of my hopes from sharing products on this site is to make living sustainably more accessible for everyone, even if you’re not an environmentalist per se. So, although I probably would bring utensils I already have, having a specific bag is an easy option for a lot of people – and they can be used in kids’ lunches when schools start back. So, if these suggestions encourage people to bring reusable silverware, even if it was purchased for this purpose, I think it is a step in the right direction.

We’ll mention this (and your blog post) on the next episode we record of the GrowthBusters podcast about sustainable living. I do suggest no one needs to buy anything MORE to accomplish this, regardless of its cute carrying case. I wrap my reusable utensils (pre-existing, everyday tableware just sitting in a drawer in the kitchen) in a cloth napkin to take to the restaurant and bring them home. Remember, there is embedded energy, and extraction of raw materials, to make nearly every new product you buy.
