April is Earth Month, and the theme for 2018 is “Plastic Pollution.” Scientists have long warned us about the environmental and health dangers of plastics, and this Next Big Thing is on a mission to be part of the solution.
Imagine using a fork with your take-out salad or a spoon with your ice cream that, instead of trashing, you can … eat? A company called Bakeys has come up with a yummy alternative to disposable utensils. Their cutlery is made of a rice and wheat flour blend, using no preservatives or fats. The utensils are baked in high temperatures and come in different flavors — plain, sweet or savory. It’s a treat for you and for the environment.
So what do you think — are edible utensils the Next Big Thing? Vote and tell us your opinion in the comments section below. Or submit your video comments to nbt@channelone.com. We will feature the results of the poll and some of your comments on the show!
