If I were well, I would create a carry-out/drive-thru only soup restaurant. Soup by the pint or quart in eco-friendly containers, made with only seasonal, local produce and dairy. Challah rolls or cornbread muffins to accompany. Glass bottled drinks. No plastic. Bamboo spoons. Discounts if you bring your own non-plastic spoon during lunch hour.

Someone use this idea. Make it real. I’ll even share recipes.

@amaditalks I have to ask: why the hate against plastic cutlery and crockery? If they are made from reasonably sturdy plastic and reused I would argue that they're significantly better for the environment than e.g. glass, no?

@dinyar because the concept is take away only and plastic equals garbage. And there is no plastic that is better for the environment than glass, even if designed for long-term reuse, because eventually it will meet the end of its life span.

@amaditalks right, but glass isn't particularly great either, particularly if it isn't reused (i.e. just washed and refilled as opposed to recycled). My understanding was that the ideal were reusable plastic bottles, because they were light and didn't cause as many emissions during transport while at the same time being sturdy enough to go through several reuse cycles. Anyway, I just wanted to say I do like the concept a lot even if I had questions about the details. :⁠-⁠)
