EnviroTip 3: The Titanium Spork

I mentioned it in the longer essay of my first post, and it is kind of the inspiration to this whole project, but I thought I'd get a little more specific about the idea of the titanium spork.  I literally carry it with me wherever I go.  This is very simple.  It cost me less than $10 at REI, it is very easy to clean, it is light, and it doesn't take up too much room.  For the same price, one could buy 500 plastic sporks which are not reusable (well, they are, but no one does reuse them), more difficult to clean because grease clings to plastic, and when thrown will add to the garbage crisis.  I don't carry my spork so that I am always ready to eat.  I carry my spork so that I am always ready to not use plastic utensils.
