When Small Things Matter |

Excuse Me? Pack My Own Utensils?
We started doing this when we began traveling the backwaters of Asia as a precaution against
picking up some pretty yucky germs.
Nothing spoils an otherwise perfect travel adventure like being flat out and cursing your body
for failing to protect you.
Now we know that it's also good for the environment.
Each year in Japan alone, chop sticks in land fills waste 90,000 tons of wood.
And in the US, we are not only heaping our land fills with disposable food items, one
environmental group has noted there is a garbage patch the size of Texas floating in the North
Pacific.
Can you make a difference? You bet. Wrap a set of eating utensils and a collapsable cup in a
bandana, toss it in your day pack and your're ready to roll.
Do it yourself and pass the idea along to others.
Doing the small things helps. More important -- it empowers you to do more than the small
things.
So with your own reusable eating and drinking tools, you're now free to enjoy all that amazing
Asian food!
