And saves on plates. No dishes to wash. I am going to have to try it next time I order chicken Chow mien!

If I opened it up like that, I'd get it all over the ambulance.

And most of my Chinese food comes in plastic containers which I use over and over again. I like those boxes though, you can throw them out. I don't care for the Syrofoam..stuff takes millions of years to break down.

I once tried to shift to SIGG bottles whenever I needed to grab a soda at a convenience store, but for some reason I slipped out of that habit. I need to get back into that so I don't use so many disposable cups.

As for the styrofoam, maybe I could eat at more Chinese restaurants where they have plates that can be cleaned off.

All the places here in Ft. Worth put the entree in a styrofoam container, and the rice by itself in the little folding container.

Heck, I'd be happy with just one side open. Won't keep me from wearing my food, though.
