bonedust: abcsoupdot: 30,000 Used Chopsticks Transformed Into a Fallen Tree in Shanghai - Inhabitat Single use-chopsticks are a notable waste issue in China - roughly 100 trees a day must be felled to create the little, wooden eating utensils. In response to the atrocities being subjected to these innocent trees, the China Environmental Protection Foundation has assembled the ghostly remains of meals past into a full-sized chopstick tree. An impressive sculpture standing beautiful and tall, this was actually far from the message they hoped to convey. So what did they do to get their point across? They broke it and handed out reusable chopstick sets and statistics near the slain tree. When I lived near home I saved mine and gave them to my mom to use in her garden to prop plants up.
