Green Tip

Use ceramic coffee cups, plates and silverware instead of disposables to reduce waste (while camping, in the office, in the car, during events etc.)
 
RAMBLE ON

If you’re entertaining, say no to disposable plates, glasses, and cutlery. All they do is add more waste to landfills! If you don’t have enough of your own, you can rent plates, glasses, and cutlery from a party supply company at very little cost per guest. (The bonus here is that you can return dirty dishes and let someone else clean up!) . -Railway deli offers this!  I was able to keep my waste down for my wedding to 2 garbage bags because of this (and using linen instead of paper napkins)

But if disposable is what you need.....

What to look for when buying dishes:
Avoid lead: Toxic lead in the human body is very dangerous, and especially so to small children and babies. To avoid lead dangers in your dishes do the following:
  • When you purchase new dishes, see if there’s a registration card offered and use it to sign up for safety notices.
  • Never store food in antique dishes.
  • Avoid imported ceramic dishes.
  • If you like to purchase dishes from thrift stores, or have old dishes around your house, then learn how to test your current dishes for lead.
  • Never store liquids in lead crystal glasses or bottles
  • Pregnant women, children, and babies should not drink from lead crystal bottles or cups.
Best safe and green dishes to choose:
  • Recycled glass dishes, plain old glass dishes, stoneware, and ceramic dishes made in the U.S.
  • Buy local.
  • Buy from handcrafters and companies who have eco-ethics.
  • Bamboo dishes.
  • Sustainable wood dishes with non-toxic finishes.
  • Stainless steel dishes - extra points for recycled.
  • If you MUST use disposable dishes, choose recycled and biodegradable disposable dishes.
