The Biden administration will reportedly phase out the use of plastic cutlery in all federal departments to combat “climate change.”
The administration announced the plan in July as part of its “Mobilizing Federal Action on Plastic Pollution: Progress, Principles, and Priorities,” per the New York Post.
“The President is committed to taking ambitious actions… to end plastic pollution and is calling upon the global community to do the same, with the goal to reduce the global production and consumption of virgin plastics,” the White House said.
The White House said that it will eliminate single-use plastics like “plastic and polystyrene food and beverage containers, bottles, straws, cups, cutlery and disposable plastic bags.” The order came after a previous executive order reducing the sale of single-use plastics on public lands.
“[T]he Biden-Harris Administration is announcing a new goal to phase out federal procurement of single-use plastics from food service operations, events, and packaging by 2027, and from all federal operations by 2035,” the White House said. “Meeting the new goal… will further agencies’ obligations under the [previous] Executive Order.”

people cant afford take out food anymore anyway. You can still eat at your desk though, with approved containers.
“Climate Change?”
What are they going to do about the Easter Bunny?
He’s just as “real.”
Easy trigger..not 50 times more like twice as much at best. Paper can be recycled along with other cardboard and paper materials. Plastic if it’s PP or HDPE can be recycled but almost never is. LDPE melts with hot drinks and Styrofoam is not recyclable at all. Plus it sheads huge amounts of micro plastics into your drink and who wants that...90% of plaque in ED patients was found to be nucleated around micro plastics just saying. Google scholar has a half dozen studies conclusively linking ED plaque to microplastics.

“Plastic cups used roughly 17% less energy, 42% less water, and 22% less petroleum.”
Another distraction ...
“Pretty soon we will be going back to whale oil for light.”
Nah whale oil was for the rich back in the day. Poor’s used lard,tallow or seed oils. Beeswax was also only for the rich. You serfs will be back to the fat of the land. Which is how that expression came to be. People raised their own animals for meat and used the fats for lighting. Ethanol was also a big fuel in the pioneer days for indoor lighting again before the Gmen outlawed its production.
Use your hand to eat, the right hand of course, as the left is to be used to clean your anus after SloJo bans toilet paper.
Another stupid idea by the a Democrat
and the Global Warming crowd
Bring back the spork!!
Invest in spork weasel farms!
Many countries use their right hand to clean their anus. Left hand is used to pick up a ladle of water from a bucket, the water from the ladle is poured over the right hand to rinse off the feces. White House staff dislike the right, they can use the right hand to wipe their anus as well as using it to feed their mouth. Leftists are filthy animals anyway.
Time to stock up. I’ve found that this brand works well: Solo Heavyweight Forks, Knives, and Spoons, and they don’t break easily.
