New way to save the Earth

[fuji]

Tell me if you guys think this is a good idea and will make life easier.

When you wash dishes, you use hot water which uses lots of energy, dish soap that is bad for our water and needs to be processed at a treatment plant(more energy being used), a dishwasher which uses lots of power for an hour or even more and time to load, wash, pre-wash etc.

Now, what if you used paper plates, wooden utensils, and corn based cups, then just threw all that shit away in the recycling. Wouldn't this be better for the environment and you would have to clean anything.

Sure it wouldnt look nice when you have a fancy dinner with family, but for everyday use it sounds like a good idea to me.

It would take way more energy to mass produce / recycle all that stuff not to mention all the harvesting of trees which do not grow instantly.

Well, it could all be composted and that whole "running out of trees" thing is a myth. Yes rain forests are being cut down around the world, but in america we have more trees now then we did in 1920. Trees are a renewable resource.

Instead of recycling the corn cups, couldn't you eat them as part of dinner? Its green and delicious!

Sure in America we torch everyone elses land for their resources because its by far cheaper. Importing paper products and wood products from all over the world to slightly decrease the amount of electricity use is nonsensical. Just throw some solar panels on the water treatment facility and its free.

Why not use hemp instead of trees?

That could lead to a viscous endless cycle though...cause I'd make something to eat...eat it off my hemp plate...then smoke my plate....get munchies....make something to eat...eat of my plate...then smoke plate...

harvest tidal energy..

billions of gallons of water flowing day in and day out could power simple turbine arrays..

oh wait, that makes way too much sense, and doesn't allow oil corps to make cash..
