Florentin, I get your point about plastic being harmful to the environment. However, the point is that *in the long run* plastic chopsticks are a more sustainable alternative. Instead of China chopping down in excess of 25 million trees each year to make single-use chopsticks (http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article353803.ece), plastic chopsticks destroy no forests and can be used almost indefinitely.

To combat deforestation, in recent years, China has tried taxing (http://www.progress.org/2006/chop01.htm) and banning (http://forests.org/archive/asia/shbanson.htm) one-off wooden chopsticks.

Clearly, China would support Tripstixx.
