Here’s a good question for your next cocktail party: how many chopsticks can you get from one tree? Turns out, the answer is 4,000, but as this article in the Washington Post last week pointed out, that’s not enough to keep up with the demand for disposable chopsticks, which consumes up to 20 million trees a year and is responsible for serious deforestation to the tune of 1.18 million square meters of forest every year, according to Greenpeace.
