Utensils

..I sure hope you're not sick of my bridal shower posting..
I guess it just shows how excited I am!
:I love to throw a good party:



after spending a day with my step-dad at work (he works for salt lake county waste management), I couldn't believe how much recyclables people throw away into our dumps! he told me that 80-100 TONS of garbage is thrown away from only 1/3 of salt lake county only PER DAY! and so much of it could be recycled.


this is what 80-100 tons of trash looks like, can you see my step-dad?
disclaimer: all this trash is being recycled by rocky mountain recycling




so for the shower, I ordered natural, alternative plates and utensils. these things are fabulous! not only are they cute, but "After disposal, [it] biodegrades in 4-6 months"!! My step-dad is so proud.


spoon, fork, knife
all rolled up in a recycled napkin
then wrapped with recycled paper
and stamped with a "n" for nicole.


simple. sweet. mother earth's best friend.
