Last night my family went out to eat at a pizza restaurant. I hadn't been to this particular restaurant in about 3 years. The food was good, but I was really disappointed to find that:
- all of the plates were paper (no non-disposable plate option)
- our plastic (disposable) cups were made from #6 plastic (not food safe)
- all of the cutlery was plastic
- sauces were served in #6 plastic (disposable) containers
If you are an entrepreneur, I would suggest you begin putting together some kind of kit like this in an organic cotton drawstring bag.
Here are the types of things you might include:
- bamboo or stainless steel drinking straws
- cloth napkins (serviettes). You could do a kids set or a classic set.
- Reusable unbreakable plates and/or bowls, in wood, stainless, or safe plastic. These are child-sized, and so is this one. Here are some cute child-sized snack bowls.
- bamboo or stainless utensils (for the children, too!)
- reusable cups. You could go cheap with some mason jars, or go exotic with some coconut cups, or go homestead and make some out of gourds...there are plenty of possibilities.
- maybe throw in a couple of bamboo condiment cups, to avoid using disposable containers for various sauces.

I think the last time we ate pizza in, they brought us paper plates too. They did bring other dishes and our drinks in regular washable dishes though. (including glass drink cups)
