Priorities: Biden Admin to Eliminate Plastic Cutlery in Move to Save the Planet
Breitbart | 08/06/2024 | Paul BoisThe Biden administration will reportedly phase out the use of plastic cutlery in all federal departments to combat “climate change.”
The administration announced the plan in July as part of its “Mobilizing Federal Action on Plastic Pollution: Progress, Principles, and Priorities,” per the New York Post.
“The President is committed to taking ambitious actions… to end plastic pollution and is calling upon the global community to do the same, with the goal to reduce the global production and consumption of virgin plastics,” the White House said.
The White House said that it will eliminate single-use plastics like “plastic and polystyrene food and beverage containers, bottles, straws, cups, cutlery and disposable plastic bags.” The order came after a previous executive order reducing the sale of single-use plastics on public lands.
“[T]he Biden-Harris Administration is announcing a new goal to phase out federal procurement of single-use plastics from food service operations, events, and packaging by 2027, and from all federal operations by 2035,” the White House said. “Meeting the new goal… will further agencies’ obligations under the [previous] Executive Order.”

That’s okay, we really need metal implements to defend democracy…
If it is the government they’ll probably switch to solid gold cutlery.
You’ve clearly never worked for the federal government. It’ll be some single ply paper utensils made by people who are blind, only good for one bite each, if you stack 5 of them together. But each one will cost as much as solid gold cutlery. Except in the Airforce. Theirs are already solid gold. And DC, theirs will be made out of pressed cocaine.

That’s a lot of MREs to throw out.
Check Biden’s bank account for the big check from the dishwashing lobby.
Prediction: 5 years from now they’ll be demanding dishes be washed with grey water due to renewed concerns that the world’s fresh water supply is dangerously low

Yes.
Because it’s so much more environmentally feasible (and wise) to wash something than to dispose of it.
Tell that to hospitals.
Man is born to trouble, as the sporks fly upward.
What?! No more fpoons?
There will be gelato riots in every piazza.
Man to Graduate: “Wait..forget plastics, let’s go with rubbers.”
“Exactly how do you mean that, sir?”
