Keep a Silverware Set at Work: Friday Quickie

Trying to limit the disposables is an easy thing to get into the habit. We’ve already mentioned how to stash a BYO cutlery in your purse or on the go.

Bring in a reusable ‘set’ for the office: Silverware (knife, spoon, fork), coffee mug & a small dish or bowl in case you need to heat up your lunch.

It also comes in handy for the day your office or fav vendor drops off a lunch to enjoy.

Readers, do you stash an office eatery set? Any other tricks you have?
