reusable fork

I will admit it, I am so smart.  Ha!  I was trying to be all smart because I was getting tired of buying new plastic forks for lunch.  I am lazy and just wanted something there all the time while I was at school.  So I would wash and reuse the forks, and spoons, I had.  Then it dawned on me, I had tons of these things at home, they are called silverware.  I now keep a set at school for my lunch breaks.  The same goes for any disposable dish, before disposable things were made, we had "green" things for eating off of.
