Whether it s chopsticks and soy sauce packets from the local Chinese joint or sporks and hot sauce packets from Taco Bell, just about everybody who s ever ordered delivery or takeout from a restaurant has a kitchen drawer filled with unused utensils and condiments.
Denver City Councilwoman Kendra Black wants to clean out those drawers and help clean up the city. On the planet, we generate an incredible amount of plastic, she says. Most of it is for single use, and very little of it is recycled. We need to quit using it. Recycling is fine, but it’s not a solution.
