Jenny Terman 7/11/2022 12:32 PMFor a recent family reunion we each bring our own plates, cups and cutlery. This year we brought our regular plates and cutlery so that we could eliminate additional waste and plastic silverware. We were also able to find aluminum cups (at Kroger) which can be reused multiple times before recycling. I felt like it was a win for my lifestyle, and we used zero plastic at the picnic.
