Bloggers care about the environment… and therefore I’ve got these eco-friendly chopsticks. They are supposed to replace the disposable chopsticks so common these days.
The two “sections” of the chopsticks can be detached and kept in a compact, portable casing as shown in the picture. Just remember one thing: avoid washing them in a dish washer, or they are not so green anymore.
Interested? Enquire in Tzu Chi.
when Jogoya was newly opened at Star Hill, they do give away these.... ^_^
ReplyDeleteMade of plastic?
ReplyDelete是慈济的哦~他们都出好多类似这样的环保物品~
ReplyDelete幸好我的朋友是慈济的，托他很方便~^^

ReplyDeleteYou must be lucky. I had to fork out money to buy these...

I think it is plastic, but you don't throw them away after each meal.

Perhaps you should see for yourself being making decision...
Hmm... so after using the chopsticks outside on a bowl of oily laksa, and with no soap and water to wash it clean, are we going to wipe it clean with a tissue?
ReplyDeleteA novel idea nonetheless, bro.
If this is made of plastic, how can they claim that's its eco-friendly?
ReplyDeletePlastic is a by-product of petroleum....and mining for oil is indeed environmentally damaging, although oil companies will deny this.
Plastic is non-degradable. When you wash and re-use it, the detergent used will harm the environment. Aiyah..this argument is endless lah. Use hand better! LOL
shingoWhat I did was that I wiped them with tissue, then wash them at home.
ReplyDeletecocka
Hand also need to wash with soap one... Unless you lick you hand clean, LOL...
is it regards recycle topic.....>.<

I think they are meant to be used at home ^^
Juslife also got this kind of chopsticks
ReplyDeletekeeyit
ReplyDeleteThanks for your info :-)
Oh? The imagination strays to 10 family members at the dining table with a box of chopsticks each by his/her side, very much like children's pencil boxes. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteAh... the evolution of the meal culture.
Yes, travel along pencil box wherever u r.haha....
ReplyDeleteBut is true, i really got one 'pencil box' containing strainless steel fork + spoon + chopstick. I use them whenever having my lunch.

ReplyDeleteThere are many designs of eco-chopsticks. Not all of them are like pencil box.

Eh... I haven't thought of carrying fork and spoon. I think most food courts still provide reusable forks and spoons.
dont u think bringing a pair from your home is better? :)
ReplyDeletei've seen the tzu chi guys selling in my university. Quite nifty I'd say, though I'm not a chopstick guy.
ReplyDeletezewt
ReplyDeleteI bought the chopsticks shown here. I will bring it from my home when I go out - provided that I remember to do so, hehe...
kyh
I thought it is easier to eat noodle with chopsticks...
where u bought them ?
ReplyDeletehow much ?
迷迭香
ReplyDeleteI bought from Tzu Chi. Not cheap man, around RM14.
We have a lot of these. :) They're made of plastic--not the disposable types.
ReplyDeleteeh... 宝茹
ReplyDeleteDo you mean... Filipinos have a lot of these? I thought they normally eat with spoon and fork?
Yes, we normally use spoons and forks; but we have Chinese influences here as well. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy not just use stainless steel spoon and fork?
ReplyDeleteHmm... is time to get myself a Xmas present a bit earlier. ^^
ReplyDelete宝茹
ReplyDeleteI see...

It is more convenient to use chopsticks when eating noodle.
noel
Maybe just call it 'present for slimming down' ;P
I like to use this chopstick especially when I'm eating noodle in the car before reach my working place!
ReplyDeleteEasy to bring, easy to keep!
When I showed it to my juniors, they will say "wow"! Just to tell them another way to help the environment.
kai
ReplyDeleteYou eat noodle in the car!?? I advise you to slow down. Eat your breakfast at proper place.
