Do you use paper plates and cups on a daily basis?

lol.. that would sound expensive. imagine you are spending everyday? on the other hand it is not good to the environment. why? despite the fact that these are biodegradable, you are still generating a lot of garbage. thus, pollution prevails.

i do not use paper plates and cups often. Althrough, using these staffs can save time to do other things, in my opinion, it is waste to use them. Of course, when you have a party, i think you should use paper plates and cups for everyone health and avoiding a lot of works of washing. plus, i like washing dishes very much. when i finished, i have a sence of accomplishment.

I do most of the dishes in our home, most of the time. So I do use paper products once in a while. There are just times I tire of the whole "time to do the dishes" routine.

I use paper plates and cups on occasion. i usually don't make a habit of it. i do have family members who use paper plates daily. it is just more convenient for them to do so.

almost 100% to cut down garbage on landfills. besides you can save money too! we used to have paper plates & cups because of lazy way to wash dishes but then we realize how much we spend everytime and the garbage to throw.

I do use paper plates not paper cups. I don't use them all the time. I only really use them for hamburgers or something small like that. I mostly use regular dishes and I don't mind cleaning.

No, I do not use paper plates often at all. I consider glasses and plates to be the easiest part of the dishes so that would be pointless. A place I personally could cut down would be on paper towels.

No, i don't like to eat out of paper plates. I keep them on hand but i mostly use them to carry someone something on them. I don't mind washing dishes & do alot even tho i hyave a diswaher.

I only use paper cups when there are many guests at home,because I don't have enough glasses, paper cups are convenient but not environment friendly, we should not use it frequently

I think it is not a good idea that we depend on paper cups and plates just because we get tired of washing dishes. It is not an economical approach of doing things. In this era where everybody needs to cut down costs, I guess keeping a good set of plates and mugs would be the best sollution. As simple as washing dishes on a daily basis would save enough money to take care of other expenses. This has brought me into realization that man's personal financial freedom is such difficult to achieve because of negligent to pay attention to small things. I believe that man should start thinking of things that would make life easy and yet not creating any problem on the financial side. The amount of convenience you are entitled is commensurate to the income you are currently earning. You made a good point about the environmental implications of depending on paper cups and plates. Even if they are recyclable the amount of energy wasted on it to bring it to usable form should be considered. I hope I have imparted sensible ideas. Happy mylotting!

For me not I don't use that kind of thing because it is too expensive and I want to not buy ones it is not to broke.

Although most of these paper plates and cups are recyclable, I think people still throw them out in the garbage. I've been in a few parties where I literally saw people throwing these disposable plates and cups along with their left over food. Which actually defeats the purpose of making these recyclable. And this contribute to the growth of land fills. I don't use them on a daily basis.

Hi christmas, no we wouldn't use paper plates or cups, we may use in the functions rather, easy to use and through also can be recycled.

No. That's too expensive I only use this occasionally. I think its not practical in life do do that. Besides that shows that a certain person is so lazy so that she could not was her wash her dishes. For so many years I have not heard of somebody doing this since washing dishes is a routine work. I suggest better if she get somebody to wash dishes for her and get paid if she could not do the washing anymore rather than spend the just through it away after using.

Hi Christmas, I don't have a dishwasher. I AM the dishwasher. I use and wash my dishes by hand. I don't mind as I've been doing it since I was a little kid. I keep a thing of paper plates on hand that I buy from the dollar store. About the only time they get used is if my daughters and grandchildren all come over. Even then, depending on what we are having, we quite often just use the regular dishes. I can't imagine using paper plates on a regular basis but I know a lot of people do.

No I use either porcelain or plastic plates and cups. Disposable ones are used only in parties. Yea I agree with you. Cutting down on disposable utensils will reduce the amount of spaces required for landfills.

I don't own a dishwasher and must wash everything by hand. It's a bit tiring and sometimes depressing (because it never ends). I don't use paper plates or cups because I don't want to take out the garbage more often. I also don't have kids, though. My older sister uses paper plates and cups but they're a family of 5 and that'll make a lot of dirty dishes to wash by hand. When I was younger we used paper plates and a mug to use all day. When we got older my mom stopped buying them and we started washing the dishes ourselves.

no...we don't use such in daily basis. we try to cut down our garbages.

Nope. Not on a daily basis. Paper plates/ plastic cups add up to too much garbage. And besides, eating on a plate is way better. We only use disposable cups and plates very seldom. Usually when we have occasions where we need to feed lots of people, we make use of them to relieve us from too much stress in preparations.

I use regular plates, utensils and cups. I run my dishwasher about 3 times a week. I wish my school would stop using plastic utensils, and forcing the students to take food that they are not going to eat.
