To Go Ware...Make the Change

To Go Ware...what a perfect name for this perfect product! I first came across To Go Ware from a friend who told me about these bamboo utensils she was using at restaurants, pot lucks, and camping trips in lieu of plastic utensils. I checked out these utensils for myself and I was hooked!

I now, also, carry a set of bamboo utensils in a neat carrying case in my purse. If I ever happen to be somewhere that I need a fork, spoon, or knife, I've got it! As a family, we each have our own utensil kit that we take on camping trips. Everyone is responsible for their own set and it gets used all weekend.

We also regularly use To Go Ware's Tiffins and Side Kicks. The Tiffins and Side Kicks are stainless steel containers that work great for taking your lunch to work, snacks on a hike, camping, or a picnic.

We brought these items with us while vending at a sustainable living fair this past weekend and it was so fun to see everyones excitement. It made me realize how many people are willing to make the small change when it comes to food containers and the elimination of plastic utensils. The more people who start using these sort of items, the more it will become mainstream and normal. If we can achieve a shift in this area, it will be a major victory for environmentalists!

So, if you have not made the switch yet to reusable food containers, now is the time to start! If you already do this, then now is the time to start spreading the word! Blog about it, talk about it, give it as gifts. If you can influence just 1 person to make the switch then you have made one awesome small change!

  1. My one small change is posted for September...although not to go wear (which looks so very cool!), it is one way we are making some changes around here. Just thought I would let you know. I am liking the reminders to me that it really only does take one small change...on small change at a time to make a big difference. Blessings! ~Sue~
