Speaking about waste disposable chopsticks, annual use of waste disposable chopsticks in Japan is $25 billion and annual consumption per person 200 sets. Those waste disposable chopsticks are imported 97% , about 90% come from China.
Producing disposable chopsticks has led deforestation, eliminating 30 hectare of forest a minute, 14 thousand hectare are lost annually in the world.
Forests play a vital role in the earth's ecosystem. They are essential for maintaining healthy soil and water, and reducing greenhouse gases. And the chopsticks used mildew-proofing agent and bleach, so using my own chopsticks is also healthy for us !
There is called My Hashi (chopsticks) project in Japan. Using my own HASHI is the one we can be earth-conscious .
I carry my own chopsticks around instead of having to waste disposable chopsticks. so she made my chopsticks case. It was BIG present.... she sewed each stitches thinking of me !
