Paper plates are the most faggotty low class idea I've ever heard of

what kind of person can't be bothered to clean up after themselves?

.

On a side note I've had to remove rubbish from a lake this evening, if I see someone dumping their crap in my county I will hold your head under until you rethink your life.

Paper plates are great for feeding large numbers of guests

Put in a plastic garbage bin

Burn after party and return the co2 to the atmosphere from whence it came

I'm not worried about the trees. They love C02 and my V8 feeds them.

There is no wasting water. It goes back, gets put back through cycle again. Tree, not so much.

Oh come on man, I know it doesnt disappear but you are way over simplifying it. It like dumping your used motor oil and saying it goes back.

Horrible comparison. Used motor oil leaches into the groundwater.

Does the tree get filtered back into existence after you throw the plate away? Because the water does.

ashes to ashes dust to dust.

Not quite true unless you use salt water from the ocean to clean your dishes.

Water comes from well, washes dish, down the drain to the leach field. It's filtered by the dirt, then the clay, then it goes into the aquifer and back to my well.

I did the paper plate and plastic fork thing for a while. Then one day thought to myself I am not lazy and I enjoy eating off real dinner plates and don't mind dish washing at all. But this was back when paper plates where better quality and cheaper priced. It's much cheaper today to wash them. And I could care less bout the tree's or water.

I find myself doing that more and more lately.

Where do you find these paper plates that don't flap like a vegetarian's wrist when you put some shteak on it?

They make some that are much better than your grandmothers, still I wouldnt eat steak off them.

Water is never wasted. It always goes somewhere, and eventually returns from somewhere. When a tree is killed it's dead forever.

Tell that to the rivers and lakes out west.

Paper is made from trees , yes Trees that come from well managed tree farms .

Recycled paper uses at least double the water , more chemicals , and double or more electricity.

Everyday use plates. Occasionally paper plates for cookouts .

Stainless steel plates, bowls, silverware; never breaks. Though would be nice to upgrade to real naturally-antibacterial sterling silver.

My decisions are rarely motivated by what is best for the "environment". I will use either depending on the situation. There are 9 people in my family, so a single meal produces a full sink. Sometimes we just don't want to deal with dishes.

Water is easier for me to conserve than paper. As a fit guy with short hair, showers are no longer than 5 minutes. I'm a fairly efficient dishwasher as well, it's good dexterity practice.
Use a paper towel for a napkin, wipe the plate down with after, then you only need a few seconds of low flow water to clean. Also do your dishes right away, even while you cook. Crusty old dishes are unsightly and take more water to clean.

Same here. I'm like a robot on a routine when i take a shower always less than 5 min or even less. And dishes I don't fill the sink but half full and put everything in the strainer after a wash and soak, then just use the sprayer to rinse them off. Air dry and put away. Easy peasy.
