REUSABLE BAMBOO UTENSILS - USE INSTEAD OF PLASTIC TO HELP PROTECT SEA BIRDS

100% of baby albatross chicks in the Northwestern Hawaiian islands have been found to be ingesting plastic. Parent birds mistake items, such as plastic forks, floating on the surface of the ocean for food and feed it to their young. The young birds can die as a result from blockages, lacerations, starvation or dehydration.

Not only is plastic made from petroleum, but it does not biodegrade. It only breaks into smaller and smaller pieces over time through a process of photodegradation. Plastic remains in the environment forever.


To help reduce marine debris that is harmful to sea birds, use reusable utensils instead of plastic ones.

Keep reusable utensils handy in your car, bag or office so you always have them available.
